Ahh me old redtop days, remember them fondly:



Wheelspin a plenty and lots of fun....put a turbo one of these in a nova and you have until you come to a corner then you have in your pants lol

 

Just abit of info for you matey in general !

My good mate has the quickest Turbo Nova in the uk (Santa pod times) and when the new engine in it will be 550bhp off gas and he is also building a nova turbo track car that will be over 340bhp and don't forget power over weight has a huge factor!

they are sneaky little things and Chips Nova rwd is fooking quick too.

 

Ive seen that before you on Vauxsport??

 

meh it might be rwd and LET but he cant drive it and it looks like its been styled by a 15 year old with a sticker fetish

imo of course

 

Don't you just luv this site

 

I had soooo planned on buying one of those just to stuff a type r engine in there with the jackson racing SC.. I really like the look of the Jazz.

 

I have frequented the Astra Mark 3 Owner's club a while matey, but dont be on much. I still have the car but its tucked away in the garage now,hasn't seent tar since August 2007 ....mite get it MOT'd and Taxed for the better weather though

 

550bhp? I'm a bit of a Nova-head, so I'd be interested to know who that is?

 

Some time ago I remember in max power there was a nova with 2x3.5 calibra engines in it, cant remember the full spec but it was quick.

 

Have you seen this particular yellow Jazz that they modded in Japan, it was in Jap Performance last year?

It is the fastest FWD car to have lapped Tsukuba!

THey stuck a 2.4 Honda engine, forged, and a couple of other things too!

 

Actually:

Japanese Performance Magazine - Shops

"J's Racing Honda Fit claims to be the world's fastest front drive car"


ahhhhh

 

i have a wee sleeper corsa 2.0 and lets say it puts the ****s up a few cars, but i've been killed by a few scoobys too, i'll see how i get on with the carb setup

 

What times does it run?

 

Mmmmm my mate has all the bits doing nothing in his garage, XE motor and Ecotec motor, gearbox, ecu, rear beam etc etc

now wheres that corsa.

 

Hmmm we all need 400bhp now to claim the advantage back.

I`d be very hesistant to drag race any of the new hot hatch crop. REVO stage 1 leon cupra 300bhp anyone?

 

lol i know the guy in the corsa thought i recognised that vid clip

 

Don't feel bad.
15y ago I was knackered after a hard nights work and on my way home, was at P2 on the grid at the lights half asleep against some mini cabbiie in a FWD nissan. I was in my RWD chipped 320bhp saphire cosworth. Got tottally spanked as I was hitting the rev limiter and moving forward at tortoise pace through poor clutch control. No excuses but I was tired.
Lost no sleep over it.....sh*t happens!

 

The comments sum it up

 

All about power to weight ratio, get a Starlet Turbo, Subaru performance for a 1/3 of the cost just forget it in the wet

 

shouldve waited for the twisties

 

2.0 turbos from the calibra are quality. My mates got an mk3 astra witht the engine and its running 350bhp and has about 70bhp shot worth of nos on top of that. Not the best every day car tho!
