It looks like a modded Nova should look. Everything looks to have been done to the best possible standard. A lot of thought has been put into the work has been done.
Plus, he hasn't gone through the usual fuck it approach to fitting the intercooler, which is refreshing to see.
It's amazing

Impressive build love it but it does look like a normal Nova with big wheels in all fairness.

Brakes:
330mm front wilwoods
310mm rear wilwoods,
turrited rear suspension,
metal widened front arches at the front.
Engine is:
20xe block,
Oil sprayers by steveboyslim,
farndon rods,
CP pistons,
+1mm valves on inlet and exhaust,
worked coscast head (i use the words worked loosley as its seen a fair old bit of "work"!),
solid lifters,
double valve springs,
area six inlet,
area six custom grind cams,
autronic sm4,
siemens 750cc injectors,
nortech manifold and down pipe,
tial 44mm external gate,
focus central throttle body,
garrett gt3076,
arp'd,
HKS head gasket,
steveboyslim head studs.
I have just bought some 15" compomotive mo's and some toyo 888's so i will be loosing the brake setup and wheels after trax so i can set some times.
Speedlines would have needed the rear arch's tubbing so i decided against them due to it been more work that i wanted to do really.

Yeh it does look nice but do they actualy provide beneficial gains?
I mean they are much much longer the the gm manifold so a lot of heat will be lost before it reaches turbo....can also mean higher engine bay temps.
I think you have to use them though if your using an aftermarket turbo which is sometimes positioned differently iirc?

You have worded your reply as a statement and NOT as an opinion, you clearly say DOESN'T.
The way in which Phil's comment was typed, implied that it was a question i.e. "It has to be one of the best novas created?" rather than "That IS the best nova ever created".
Don't be such a pedantic fool Damien, as everyone can play that game.

WTF shut the fcuk up Dave.
I think the engine is superb, i've watch the progress on mig for ages now.
But visually, its nothing other than a colour colded nova, and I personnally feel the comment that its the best nova ever was a tad optimistic.
It is an opinion. In MY mind it DOESN'T make the best nova...
Don't tell me what I am and am not trying to say, not unless your sitting inside my head.......
There was no question mark, stop trying to be Mr English teacher. Just because i don't agree with the crowed.
