well it's my first nova and i've always looked at nova's to be stripped out and tunned.
so this one is all trial and error at the mo..
cheers for comment.:thumb:

i found stripping it made a hell of a difference in both speed and handling though mine is only a 1.4 lol

Looking Good, Bay looks nice and tidy all painted up. Keep the pics coming.

Can't wait to get mine to that stage!
