Just B4 Xmas i purchased a new car to run about in and hopefully get it on the track in the new yr...

Wot do u reckon - good or gay.......


Vauxhall Nova Sri

2.0 16v XE engine, running around 165-170 bhp...

Various mods, but subtle, ''not burbery daves'' carpark cruiser..

Compo wheels, spax susp, rollcage, seam welded bay, cams, exhaust, chip etc etc, bigger brakes all round

Bit noisey tho

The quaife LSD diff is a bit strange at first to get used to..

Know of a few people with 2.0 XE novas/corsas, all seem to complain of understeer, ie you try to turn into a corner and the engine just tries to keep going in a straight line! Fast cars in a straight line but difficult to drive fast round a track.

How does your one compare to this?

Yay.

It's a street hack that's got a bit of welly. Fair play.

Shitbox compared to an RS though..............

Mine doesn't do the understeer thing as dramatically as you describe!

If you set the car up right they handle great...

She doesnt really understeer at all, just a bit strange driving with the LSD... It drives lovely in fact with very nice smooth power curve, the engine is little over standard and last time it was at santa pod it ran a 14.3 dead...

nt bad i dnt reckon...

((Sorry for my stupidity, but how do i get the pic's up???))
