Christ, this thread is actually making me realise just how quick my bloody novas actually are, lol

Ive always thought of cossie's as THE (realisticly priced) performance car (im 30 in 6 weeks so have been used to them conquering all for most of the last 2 decades) but to hear that im actually beating the majority of modifed ones is quite weird, obviously i know i kick a standard one's arse, but i always assumed once 20psi+ boost was involved it would be a different story.

Thanks for all on the coilovers advice lads, ill make sure i get enough clearance on the rear when i get a coilover kit and i'll get my mate Sean who is far more handy with a welder than me to seam round the existing joins.


Trouble is, there is another 1/3rd to half a second yet to come off that nova, as the clutch was slipping when i ran the 13.3 on its only pod outing, and my other one is far quicker (well feels it on the road, i havent had it on the strip yet to confirm) so i guess the cossie will never compete in that respect, but the cossie is a damn site more comfortable, can fit 5 in it if i need to and is far more fun on a wet roundabout, so i guess thats more important than out and out speed anyway.


Its going to be weird though if i lose a race to someone in my nice and shiney 3 door cossie that i think is the bollocks and then when i lose i turn round and say:
"wait right there mate i'll be back in a minute for another go in a slightly rusty very tatty c reg nova "
