Been a while since I've been on here, I sold my corsa a few year back and totally lost interest in the whole car scene, bought myself a 5 series, settled down and seemed to grow up, until two weeks ago when I spontaneously went and bought myself a nova, I have no idea what road to go down, although I am hearing the words redtop and turbo alot, just after some advice/ideas on what to do with it.

It's a 1.2, been lowered but other than that it's standard, I've just bought some nova gte wheels but they're sat in the garage for now,

What's everyone's thoughts?

Looks clean enough from the pictures but no doubt it's full or rust ha.

Massive nova fan. If it was me I'd make a full SRi rep seen as it's breeze blue and just fit a C14SE engine. They're fun enough with an xe in.

That's what I'd do though, I'm sure whatever you do it'll be ace because all novas are

Blue SRi interior, silver speedlines and a 60mm drop. Job done, won't ruin it then and can spend the rest of the time tidying any bad bits up.

Nice Nova, I like the colour. I've always thought an x16xe on throttle bodies would be the perfect engine for a Nova.
