few pics and a video of my nova with twin 40's!

thought i would post a few pics of my nova up.. i was at a autocross/test yesterday but only got a few runs as it was too wet so it was cancelled. car goes well, first time it had been out since re-build. its got a 1400 block, 1300 sr head, weber 40 dcoe's, new plugs, leads and gaskets etc, powerflow stainless back box with powerflow straight through middle section, 4 branch manifold. big thanks to garyc for sending me a camshaft too!

Looks tidy mate and sounds the bomb sir

Need to see this one sometime :)

Sounds cool in the vid, very responsive.

its responsive yep.. took a few hours tweeking them and balancing, also fitted new accelerator jet pumps which sorted the missfiring when going to rev it..

Greg

Nice wee car mate,good project for some one so young :thumb:

But stop the pic horring now,lol

Scott

Not bad looking good.

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o...DSCF0065-1.jpg

how come the reg is different??
http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o...t/P1010184.jpg

Im guessing it's just as he wants to have then plates for the Vaux shadoing on them, and the cars not tax or used on road mate..

Scott

car sounds awesome, is this the little black one I had the skirts off?

yep plates are different as they are cooler and have vauxhall logos in the background.

ash, its not the nova you had the skirts off.

done an autotest today, finished 4th overall. on my first run i went a little too much tail end happy and took down 3 cones.. :lol:, so i was trying to be as tidy and quick as possible the rest of the day and managed to set 2 fastest times and 2nd quickest on one of the runs. nova still needs the carbs set up 100% though, has a wee flat spot low down the revs.
