I was expectig it to be spinning thw front wheeks loads with loads of torque stear tbh. Also thought it wouldnt drive like it came out the factory like that but it does, which i suppose is a good thing and shows its been built properly. I will have to get some fresh optimax in the tank and give it a good drivre out cause its been stood up for 8 months

Can't really knock a proper xe nova for the track tbh,

you can spend countless amounts of money on them but just do a few simple things rather than spend 10k and you can have a very awesome fast reliable car, for road and track

I use mine everyday for work, its been to Germany, done a 8 min lap, towed someone all the way home, then had nitrous fited back on it and runa 13 dead with a totally standard engine and tires.

I have only spent a very smal amount on my car compared to some people but it has what I think are the right bits to give it the performance and handling you would want.


plenty of build pics of welding and parts if required
