my race car
Hi, my name is Chris and I have been on this site for a short time but have never put up any pictures of my car that i am building. So here we go:
Spec:
All round GAZ coilovers
Been stitch welded all over to group A spec and harry hockley strengthening kit by chris astley motorsport
6 point Safety Devices rollcage
Internal shifter
Sparco bucket seat
1.6 8v engine on carbs built by tommy field at FMS
Astra gte brakes up front
I have built the car with racing in mind, so track days and sprints and hill climbing. I also want to get a MSA logbook for it.
Hope you like it, Chris

Tidy shell :)
Keep us up to date
-
when i got the car it only had 43000 miles
-
That why its so clean? Or has it been re-painted ?
-
only the back because i had the arches rolled
-
Nice match - Will be an awsome car once its all built up :)
-
this is what it is like under it, bit of an over kill for racing
-

No they are standard. This is a picture of my engine- it has been in and out more times than I care to remember:thumb:

Did you have to mod the car in any way so that the rear coilovers don't catch? or did they just fit straight on? Looks a good project. Keep up the good work.
-
i like the nova a lot,.. clean and good choice mods.. cant wait to see how it finishes..
-
looks like a nice clean shell
good base to start,
(looks like your more than half way)
great looking car mate :thumb:
-
Ditto. Lovely looking shell.
Nice engine choice too. Look forward to seeing it finished & beating the time set by the Fiesta on that hillclimb.
-
Cool, similar spec to mine.
Do you do alot of hill climbs? I've been to Wiscombe and Gurston recently and will hopefully be compleating next year.
-
Thank for the comments:) I had to hammer the tunnels to get the coilovers to fit:cry: and that was my first time on the track at gurston it was there driving school day i recommend going to it if you what to start very helpfull :thumb: but i had spettated a few time:thumb:

Thanks for your help mate:thumb:

looks really good fella, will have to keep an eye on this build :thumb:
-
What colour the wheels gonna be then white ?
-
One set is white and one set is day-glo orange.
-
Looking good mate, very tidy build.
Can I ask, at Gurston about half way round the first corner, is there a dip on the inside or something? All the cars I watched the other day seemed to twitch quite a bit...
When do you recon it's first outting with be?
-
Wheel studs are a must IMO, makes life sooo much easier. Good call :D
-
ASH- You go down the hill then there's a long sweeping left, then a short sprint, then a sharp right which goes into a short dip with a right following. So yeah, in the middle of the second and third corner there is a dip.
