i dont even think i was born when the first nova came out, so i think it would be hard for me to be there from the begining?

hmmm could say that, the dials only went to 130...had the needle pointing straight down, would not go round further but the rev counter still went up a bit? i would still have it but i couldnt warrant having a quick car anymore, i only do 20miles a day max, so i went cheapskate and turned to diseasel power.
one thing i will say over novas, is the steering seems soooo much nicer than that of a corsa, i dont know if it is the positioning onf the steering wheel, how close you are to the rack or whatty but the steering seems loads better, over PAS and non PAS corsa bs.

Wait... You only do 20 miles per day and went for a diesel for cheaper motoring... Normally folk are doing 10x that before they consider it "cheaper motoring"  Think I seen that White Nova at Crail the other month when Nic was up, looked lovely in the flesh.

chip and his sidekicks were making a big fuss over having those bits machined out a while ago for some reason. some anti-stealth-det mod i think. i cant remember what it was about though.

correct althou the info first came from nortech so im afraid me and batman cannot take all the credit
he was having problems with a let detting before he thought it would took the head off and removed them, put them back in and he managed to get more timing in without det
althou the biggest reason for removing them is to lower the compression after a head has been fitted with 1mm oversize valves and had a skim
shame corsa kid never had his removed he deff needed some anti-stealth-det modding
