What have you done to your Nova today?

[Benn]

This year I've decided to drink more, not bother to even try giving up smoking and put some serious miles on the Sport, it's meant to be driven not in the garage all the time under a sheet, still won't take it out in the wet tho

Cut the drinking out and you'll be able too....


TJ. Bin the hub and get another, a Nova hub is worth bugger all so cheap to get.

It's about time someone did an A symmetric nova knuckle in billet.

Group buy?
I had my eye on some nice magnesium alloys but they are a touch pointless when the hub and carrier weighs a ton

If someone had the autoCAD skills to recreate an uprated design, I'm sure the material cost wouldn't be more than £300.

Just thought about scrapping my corsa vxr and putting the engine in my nov but then my wife reminded me to take my tablets!

ignore the wife and do it !!

i hate just replacing stuff its so wasteful, would them helicoils not be good enough the car will properly spend more time apart being rebuilt/alerted so they wouldn't go unchecked, could also make it part of my regular servicing checking the bolts condition etc?

Could make them bloody good spec.

Wasteful? Are you joking? Your talking about a bolt that holds a caliper on.. You know the thing that stops the car.. Or if the bolt comes out will stop the car when you don't want it too.
When it comes to brakes.. DON'T MESS ABOUT.

Booked mine into Brands end of the month so better give it a service and fit my new brakes.

[turbojolt]

i wasn't joking i would rather save a part then just straight replace it, like a proper mechanic would and not a parts fitter in quick fit, i understand what your saying 'brakes are important', but what to say i couldn't fix rather then replace and it be as safe?


i dont want to do something thats going to get me killed obversely thats why i asked the question, the 2nd thing i dont want to do if buy a new replacement knuckle and **** that up aswell , so are the threads holding the caliper to the knuckle strange or different or was it just its time to let go?
