15.25 in a 1.6 16v Nova?
Its not totally stripped still has electric windows carpet dash etc etcc could do with a lot more stripping.
Talking to Rob its a recon 1.6 unit from Vauxhall and hasnt even done that many miles so has yet to completely loosen up. Its completely stock apart from a set of Cams and induction kit and exhaust system IIRC?
Its pissed on a Punto GT on the M25 i was well shocked as i thought with the punto being a turbo it'd have much better midrange  When we got to the pod he made some pretty feeble excuses
I was absooutely shocked of how quick this wee Nova is 
Also this 15.25 was at Santa Pod not Crail so could of got into the 14's there
Haha his excuse was his wiper raised up!!!
haha... oh how did i laugh at him! lol
Was well happy with my car tho... Shaved a half a second of last time i was at pod.
Im gonna treat the car to TAS engine mounts/Full service and then buy some more engine bits!
I NEED to get into 14's!
