Nova GTE C20let (2.0 16v Turbo) Sold
I don't want any swaps or stupid offers!
I may do some sort of P/X W.H.Y?
(Total Vauxhall Aug 2006 Feature Car)
The conversion was done using Chris Ashley Parts
This car needs nothing and has just been MOT'd & Taxed
I'm still waiting on powder coated rocker cover
To find a nova in this condition is near on impossible these days so please bare that in mind
It has only just turned 55,000 miles, I have original bill of sale and all documents
The car runs the EDS Phase 2 chips 18psi spike 13psi held boost and is approx 280BHP
With a car that weights very little 280bhp is plenty enough

TBH it's all how you build them & what suspension setup you use mine doesn't fight or torque steer badly, it certainly pays to fit top notch components and having a mint rot free shell to start with

The front panel was like that from the day i bought it
It was due to when it was painted and wasn't quite dry
he opened the garage door and it was middle of winter up in scotland and the paint developed some hairline cracks in it
Also you gotta remember its a tight fit at the front also with a turbo being sat right under the slam panel
TBH it don't bother me as its something only very mildly cosmetic
