The fastest Nova in the world

What ballpark figure are you aiming at bhp wise then at the wheels?

I'd like to try and get 1000 at the wheels, but that equates to roughly 1150bhp, possible but will see.
Truthfully we know the power output may be too high, making the power is easy, controlling it is a whole other game.

There's a few FWD boosted cars that make upwards of 900BHP Civics & alike; they actually look more stable in a straight line than the RWD runners, just need a big upper body to hold it!

I guess the standard inner CVs then astra big block outers for the drivetrain? Some sort of hybrid shafts cut sleeved welded to suit?

Plenty civics running 1000+ now, they can get most there parts off the shelf though.

We are widening the track a bit, using shafts and cvs from a mk5 sri turbo, the fit the m32 and my big block hubs but I know they won't last 5 minutes, some heavy duty stuff will be designed, limiting factor is the nova hub carrier, unless we make some fancy billet items, Vauxpro can take care of that though.

Can you not use mk4 Astra hub carriers? They are very like nova stuff in set up. But will be stronger and have droplinks for arb and that.

Steering rack is too low down on a mk4

Spacer on the track rod end? With a nice drop it might not be to bad on steering arm angle...

It would need to be about 6" long
The mk4 has the rack on the cradle

Oh piss, didn't know it would be that low.

Billet hubs it is then...

Have you won the lottery?
this is the kind of thing I'd do if I did

I've been buying these parts for 3 yr now, I refuse to get anything on finance or go into debt for it.
Could easily take another couple of year to complete.
Just off the top of my head I need a PDM & keypad £2.5k, new oil system £2.5k, there's a billet sump pan & girdle, billet intake, billet rear hubs, billet front hubs and carriers £€$
Maybe 3 yr
