    Default Back in the Game

    Ok so think it's gotta be over 10 years since I was on here, miss my old nova so much, first car was a red mk1 sr, second was the same but met an untimely end.
    Then I had a laser blue mk1 gte, spent loads of time and money on it, had it back from the body shop a week and it got written off... was ready for a redtop swap too!! Don't even have a pic of it finished.
    Last nova was a 1.4sri that I did a redtop swap into and she flew!!

    This was my gte before bodyshop


    This was it after


    This is after the crash


    This was my redtop sri... had private plate after this pic hence the username H15 NVA


    I know that plate is still on a nova possible same shell and engine, would be nice to know who's got it...

    Anyway.... the new car.....

    Will get a pic of outside once I'm home

    Here she is


    Probably going Saab turbo route at some point.
    Exterior wise will loose rub strips, clean her up and lower her.
    Wheels possibly bbs ra or cavalier exclusive with anthracite centres.
    Interior I may leave stock as it's mint



    What's a good Brake upgrade for these now?
    When I did my xe I used the calibra brakes off the donor car
