    Default newbie saying hello.

    well hello all. firstly a bit about my cars my daily driver is a vec c gsi. i also own a mk3 astra which has had a 2.0ne turbo conversion done. i have owned this from new. this is now in my hands for 16 years . also the mrs drives a vec b which i"m sort of doing as a gsi rep. it"s getting there. anyhows my reason for joining the site is i have took areal fancy for a nova saloon. i am planning on making this my winter project. i already have the valver engine sitting, so just to find a tidy saloon to bolt it into. my good friend boyle who is a member on here is helping me out in my search as he pretty much no"s his stuff around wee novas. i have already looked at a few, but tbh they had seen better days. i am in no hurry as the right car will turn up. well thx for listening am away for a nosey.

    firstly thanku for the warm welcome. turbojolt i recon i"m sitting i recon i"m sitting around the 200bhp. that is running safely at 0.5 bar. my wee brother has the same conversion done but he is boosting to 1.0 bar, and it is lethal. i also have a quaife diff fitted in the f20 box wich helps alot.

    Hi again....
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce
