It is now a runner. Poor earth to the starter motor was causing it to not turn over and then i had the CTS wires the wrong way around.
It seems to run well and shud be on the road as soon as i sort out the exhaust, mot and tax. Hopefully that will all be done at some point this week.

Not sure how much it will be but i am probably there best customer! in just over 3 years i have had 2 nova exhausts, 3 down pipes, 2 sets of boost pipes, 2 106 race cats, one 106 gti exhaust, one corsa gsi exhaust and now a corsa 2ltr exhaust system and a race cat.
Need to fit the bumper, arches, spoiler, seat belts and some more of the interior then it can go for a mot.

Nova does not matter anymore, this will be far more fun to drive. C20XE's are so much better than LET's, less to go wrong and like to be driven hard.
I was going to bring the nova home yesterday but it snowed so that meant i could not bring it back. Possibly this week i might bring it home.
