I cant belive i pulled away out run it TBH. It sounded mental as he was hitting the limiter in the gears.

But it's a bloody Nova for christ sake


You may as well strap a great big turbo to a lawnmower, infact I think I will

Exactly...

Funny how i actually find the car, and post pics and they all get rather quiet ???

This site only keeps me coming back due to the handful of genuine knoledgable people with, real world results from real world testing and who dont give a funk about pubtalk and numbers.

Unfortunately the rest are a proper bunch of narrowminded pr1cks, who've read too much, seen too little and know even less!!

You obviously have no appreciation for any kind of engineering or whats possible with a little bit of know how.
Im willing to bet this little Vauxhall would give you a damm good run for your money... besides, he's only gotta do 71mph and sail on past


Go back to your UNMODIFIED type 25 mate...

Oh, and do the speed limit while youre at it.

I think you have an anger management problem, I'm being completely reasonable and you are slagging me off....why?

I haven't said anything about speed limits, so why you choose to bring that up I don't know? 71MPH

You're absolutely right though I have very little engineering knowledge, but even I know that Novas are ****ty little cars no matter what you do to them

Lighten up man, it only a laugh, there are far more important things in life to worry about

Quality read Frayz but you're right. I'm surprised we havn't had the delights of MR LEWIS giving us his wowful wisdom

But then again judging by some of the comments maybe we have
I'll keep an eye out for the Tango machine tho
