Went to have a look at the progress on this car yesterday. The pictures not doing the car any justice is an understatement, it's absolutly stunning in person. Everything is so neat and tidy. Unbelievable how Matthew has fitted averything under the bonnet and behind the bumper! And the wheels are perfect. Good work mate

Hi Mattew,
Just had a look through your thread and your work is top notch,i have recently bought Nick j mk1 sr and was wondering if that nortech manifold fits on mine?the only thing is my slam panel is not removable like yours. all the best with finishing the nova.

hi jason, yes the manifold will fit on yours id say, i just had to trim the slam panel a bit, nortech made it for me to be as compact as possible. are you thinking of going for a tubular manifold/turbo combo?

Just looking a head really as kkk don't last long,and like the quality of the nortech and would put a garrett as more reliable and more power if i need to.Yours will be mad when all done as mines a hand full runing best part of 300bhp let alone 400bhp but will be interested to see if the gear box can take it ?

Looks great! Black cooler would look good and tie in with the wheels?. I painted myne black and it had no effects on the inlet charge temp, I just used aluminium primer and satin black.

they are built to handle rough treatment but im not sure if it will cope with the torque of the turbo motor, id say that could be the killer!
