    Default Vauxhall Nova 2.5 V6

    Yes its up for sale again!! . . . .

    Well i bought the as i wanted somehting differnet and having had some issues with it and sorting them out its actually a decent car now. It travelled 300 mile home from scotland with no issues and has just ciompleted a 500mile round trip to devon and back with no majour issues either. However ive just got a job doing a 30mile trip to and from work and need something more realistic than the V6

    Spec

    GSI on the log book ( worth a few pennys in a few years)
    Very Strong C25xe engine with supposed chipped ecu and 3.0 cams
    F20 Box
    Full 6 point cage with door bars
    Sabelt Harness's
    OMP Steering wheel and Boss
    Astra GTE digi dash
    Nova GSI black dash
    top tint screen
    Carbon fibre sunroof panel
    Battery relocated to the boot
    GTE seats
    2.25" stainless exhaust system
    Rear disc conversion
    5 stud setup
    Cavalier Turbo alloys with 4 good 195/45/16 tyres
    gaz rear coilovers
    supposed avo front coilovers
    alloy front top mounts
    front strut brace
    rear strut brace
    polybushed
    fully seam welded shell
    single wiper conversion
    custom bonnet

    TAX TILL OCTOBER 2010
    MOT TILL MID JULY 2010
    has a gsi front bumper (with toe eye)with holes cut in

    All in very well spec'd car that has been around abit

    since ive owned it i have -

    removed rear brake discs clean out and adjust handbrake
    changed the ****e gear linkage on it for a nearley new 1
    removed and refitted with thread lock steering rack bolts
    replaced 1 tyre on n/s rear for a part worn toyo others are pirelli's

    bad points -

    It has a oil leak not sure where its from just a little drip now and then nothing majour at all i havent put any all in in 800+ miles and i check it weekley
    O/s rear arch is scabby in 2 places ideally wants repair arch and repair to inner arch.
    Front brake discs are warped and vibrate under hard braking, ive drove it for over a month with no issues a spare set of discs come with it but im not sure if they fit was told by previous owner that they might . . ?
    Rear manifold isnt pretty and has had a bodged repair downpipe. As the numpty who built it put the fuel pump in the engine bay when warm is suffers with vapour lock as the fuel in the lines heats up and dissolves, so you have to turn the key 5x or similar to get the fuel back up and it starts 1st time.
    Underneath has been welded a few times and in places isnt pretty but its solid as a rock, its not a show car just a very quick road car. The paintwork is quite good i heard it was diy but has a nice shine to it!

    As above im just being honest i have had little porkies told 2 me
    Piccys





    some more piccys from avin park and after being lowered from my other thread!






    Fitted Euro twin reverse removed MV6 badge






    £1200 ono if not sold it will be broke for parts which is a shame located in West Midlands
