Mk2 nova Sx 1.2 spi
First post on here so hi guys I'm Sean and I'm from Dumfries. I'm am apprentice mechanic and I bought a mk2 Sx back in April from Manchester and I love it, sat at an easy 9* mph on the way up the road and only used half a tank (£20) of fuel. only a 1.2 spi but bloody hell it's fun! It's my second car and I much prefer it to the Clio I had as my first car. Bought it standard, since then I've put a sportex cat back exhaust system on with a home made decatl and it sounds amazing, have a 1.6 throttle body with standard 1.2 injector at the moment with corsa top box and piper cross air filter, got cheap Jom coil overs which are sh** but do the job to an extent, and just bought a set of cesaros off here for £90 delivered which was a steal. Pictures to follow, planing on a 1.6 spi inlet manifold and 1.4 injector, then 4 branch sportex exhaust manifold and decat. Then a gte cam if I can find one cheap enough should hopefully get her a little nippier and before anyone says it I know it'll never be "fast" but it should make it less painfully slow.
What she looked like when I bought her
After I fitted the coil overs
A picture someone had taken at the Lanarkshire petrolheadz summer cruise a week back, I like this picture!
And here is a picture taken yesterday when I fitted the cesaros these will be getting refurbed in silver.
Finally a picture that has both my Novas in, I bought k133rhs as a shell needing a lot of work done, welding and what not its in pieces but my best mate is a good welder so I made him a deal that if he bought a welder he could have joint ownership in the car when we go to sell it once its built up and on the road again! It's an Sri shell with a 20ne 2.0 8valve ready to drop in. Supposedly a stupidly quick nova when it used to roam the streets down this way. Ill make another thread for the progress on it once we get started on it.
