also reading his description he talks crap. running half the boost of a standard lump yet producing 200+bhp??? ok mate.
I wonder why he is selling it?? It seems his perfect car tbh. turbo lump with 1.4 insurance.

Knew it wasn't his really, its not even like his old one, but I wasn't sure if he was still rebuilding or not. It used to be my favorite nova ever since I met him at blackpool cruise once & got talking to him.
Will be nice to see the finished result.

Is it gonna be the same colour as the old one?
Don't suppose there's any progress pics anywhere?

to be honest a std let in a nova is gonna be more than reasonably quick!!!!!! i just think the likelyness of it being looked after are slim and probably ragged from cold etc.

..wrong spoiler, tailgate, bonnet, seats, wheels, etc..etc..etc...
Only posted it because it reminded me of Ian's i.e. blue facelift nova with dose kit & valver (albeit turbo)

aaaaanyway, back to the subject
i dont doubt that its fast but that kit looks horrible, i suppose you could just use the engine and put it into another car but for £2k i doubt people would do that
