Love this forum so thought I'd post up my dads car because I own a Vauxhall Nova and you's would all hate me lol! Don't get me wrong though I love old Fords!

Anyway here's the spec & photos.. All work done by him when he bought it standard

- Revo Stage 2 Map
- Airtec Gen 3 Intercooler
- Auto Specialists CAIS
- Full Turbo Back Mongoose Exhaust with Sports Cat
- RS Injectors & Spark Plugs
- Forge Blank Plate
- Eibach Springs
- H&R Spacers
- RS Wheels.






Rolling road day on monday with some mates so I'll try get some photos!

 

That looks mega tidy! The RS wheels really suit it.

 

Looks a nice example not over the top, best colour in my mind. Wheels look nice too.

 

Sod that, get some pics of the nova up!!

 

BEST COMMENT EVER

Not started driving yet but should be on the road next year so I'll be tidying it up over the winter






How its sitting right now with no headlights or grill lol.


Cheers.

 

Lovely them mate...!

 

Lovely looking nova! They are a rare sight these days.

I don't think there are any left in my area.

 

Lovely ST.

 

We have a few down here, we've started a group called 'Scottish Novas' :P

 

ST looks a stunner

 

Looks even better in real life, iPhone photos are shit

 

With regards to the Nova, I'd have a good look at the rust in the engine bay around the strut areas. A friend had an Escort XR3i with rust like that. He stood on the brakes trying to get the ABS to work and ripped the strut tops clean away from the car and pushed the wheels back into the wings and A-pillar.

Other than that, the Nova looks like a good 1st car

 

1 that i know off lol...



nice lookin cars mate

 

That's what I'm doing over the winter, getting it all fixed

Just in from stripping it there

 

Great choice of first car and like I said on FB the other day, your dads ST is spot on mate

 

Nova looks well smart!

 

Nice St and Nova

 

Cheers guys, never thought yous blue oval guys would be interested but saying that I'd love a Mk1 Fiesta or an Escort Cossie (Dreaming).

 

Nice st and love the wee nova mate.

 

cheers mate.

 

By any chance, is the exhaust really loud on the Nova??? Looks very like one i used to see kick about years ago, in a place called Forth.

 

I wouldn't say really loud, its not quiet but it sounds good.

 

Love the nova!!!

 

Nova is a brilliant first car. Needs the wheels done silver, and the bottom half of the doors and 1/4s done grey

 

Wanted one since I was 13/14 so I'm happy now lol. Speedlines will be done silver if I keep them but not doing the doors because that would be me going down the SRi look.

 

Well went and got the ST dyno'd with some mates and it made bang on 300 but its been held back something awful from the map and RS injectors, so standard ones are going back on and going back up to get map tweaked then back on it.

Went for a spin in a Revo Stage 4+ RS today, "OH MY GOD". I thought the 300BHP ST was quick lol!

The RS sitting nice on some Compomotive's!

 

Got it on the RR the other day and It made bang on 300 but Simon said the RS injectors aren't working with the Revo map so standard ones are going back in then he can tinker with the map again and should make more, hoping for 320!
