    Hi guys just putting this out there. I have a baby on the way and would love a stock/lightly modded sporty Nova so i can keep playing and get my unborn daughter and wife in as well So looking to swap or gauge interest in the sale of mine? What you got?

    My Nova spec =

    Engine

    Rebuilt engine by Steveboyslim off migweb new Water pump, cambelt kit, rings,mains,big ends,head gasket, head bolts etc, rocker cover gasket only run on GM 10w40 oil. (Has a sump gasket leak like most though)

    Coscast head
    Volvo td04 turbo

    Adam Beard tubular manifold

    Big rev counter with shift light

    Engine made 265bhp 278llbft on15psi @ 5300 rpm but kept blowing a boost pipe off, boost pipe was then swadged and no problem since but not been back on the rollers....the tester said it should make about 280-290bhp @ flywheel.

    F20 Geabox
    Griffin equal length shafts
    Solid engine gearbox mounts
    500 Mile LMF Hubs and new front bearings

    bonnet hinges are shot as the bonnet came up on me but still shuts ok with pins

    basically a solid track car that runs well and has a if it works don't fix it attitude with a few knocks and bangs being stripped out, would benefit from a bodywork resto, smokes slightly in traffic on idle but never bothered me no play in turbo. The car was entered at TOTB trials at PVS 2015 and qualified with a 12.4 pass with more to come. Please serious interest only.

    £3500 or swap
