You could have bought my black diamond & redstuff V6 setup for the cost of those 16V pads.

They were only £60, rest of the setup seems to work OK so don't mind buying new pads for it.
Few pics from Blyton yesterday with Ian. Nothing broke and car performed as good as ever so good times.
Struggled to get the brakepads bedded in and feeling strong in the morning, they're feeling a little better now but not perfect.
Went out with Ian in his with some 300lb rear springs and it felt a lot more balanced so may be tweaking the rear spring rates again too.
My semi slicks are knackered now so going to get some better tyres for the next outing.
Also feel the car needs a lot more power for the straights, so pondering the cheapest way to give it a bit of a kick.
Usual picture of Nova on black wheels
Got some footage using my GoPro too, uploaded in 720 just to please Benn, here's one of me chucking it about the track trying to scare the passenger:
And one of me running out of any talent I had in the first place

christ it look aggresive and purposeful on the matt cesaros with the semi slicks. I like the way the car has evolved further gradually since you finished it as a project, the more track days you do..
Reminds me a bit of martin hill's old nova when it was white- one of my faves.
Faster in a straight line.. cams, some headwork? NOS? buy some itb's off tweeks on a buy now pay later..
"let me drive.. i won't make a fool out of you"
Bang a let it for some more go
epic save

Yeah loving the new camera too, interesting to watch what I do with the wheel afterwards.
I did ponder a LET but would it really be that cheap to get more power? Engine, loom/ECU, ancillaries, rebuild, FMIC, F28...
Some headwork, cams and inlet changes would be nice, but ITBs seem expensive too and I dunno if I dunno what kind of MPG some twin 48s would give?
Good save brother, for a minute I though "oh noes, here comes the armco"
Throttle bodies over the 48's. I ve had both & definetly worth the wait for the ITB's
They come up 2nd hand so keep looking for a nice set of Jenvey's
Thats a narrow track, good save!
Just get an interest free credit card & get em on order
