Iain's 20XE Trackday Nova

[Iain]

Cheers guys well chuffed with how it's come out, quality of gauge pod mods are all down to Prey

Ooh shiney bits.

Love the dash upgrade too.

Hows the foot?

Foot is loads better now cheers, not holding me back much now. Kind of ruined Billing though having to limp about on crutches!

TIdy work sir. Prey is a flocking God

At first i didn't like the gauge bit. But the finished item looks great. Love the Stack gauges too, they are proper pretty.

Ref this..



Could you not cut a slit in the bumper either side of the cooler, then warm the plastic and bend that bit down, so the air would flow down it and hit the cooler...?

I fear this may have already been addressed, but having not read the whole thread feel I have to ask......

Electric windows?

Looks great! How much were the gauges and where from? If you don't mind me asking.

[Prey]

your pics make the top return look wonky (it's not, it's the bottom of another facia, reversed). looks good in the car mate - get it all hoovered!

Yeah the Stack gauges look proper classy don't they, blend in lovely with the dash. Yeah I could possibly cut a 'duct' and direct air up towards the cooler, I'm a little against cutting my freshly painted bumpers though I'll see how it gets on like this, I usually remove my grille on trackdays for more airflow anyway.

Electric windows?

Hell yeah electric windows I did have polycarbs and sliders until it was unbearable one hot summers day on the country roads, so I moved back to glass. Already had all the EW setup in storage as it came with them originally. How else do you open the passenger side window when you're strapped into a harness?

Gauges work out roughly £50 each I think. I already had the oil pressure and temperature gauges down the side of the dash so just needed a nice solution to get a third in there.

Apologies for my last few poor pictures, think there's dust on the lense or something

[Benn]

Love my Stack gauge. Does removing the grille help that much? As the sides arnt big i wouldn't have thought it blocks to much air...

Been chatting to Total Vauxhall on and off over the last few months, they were interested in featuring my little Nova. Were interested in an old photoshoot I'd done but figured it's worth some new unseen pictures for the occasion so arranged a new photoshoot with my mate. So big thanks to Alex Wheeler for the photos and efforts there.

So happy to say it's got a seven page feature in Total Vauxhall's February 2014 issue. Think it's out in the shops in a few days! The new photoshoot coupled with some mid-build shots from this WIP means I'm pretty chuffed with it.

Couple of sneak preview pics!

A nice pat on the back that is, well done.

Did you tell them to leave the plate on? They photoshopped mine out.
