rikiboy456

i wana do a xe nova i got one laying around lol! how much did you pay for the engine and fitting kit etc?

w_wall_2001

absolute doddle to do mate. all u need is an astra gte o/s/f engine mount and then u just lower the nova one an inch and a half. u can use nova gte drive shafts as the inners have the 22 spines and mk2 cav 1.6 inners fit straight on to them and then they fit into the f16 and up gearboxs. make sure u knock the chassis leg in where the alternator will sit as they often catch the inner leg. basically thats it.
hope that helps. thats all ive done

I did this conversion to my old nova. Make sure you seem weld everything under the hood. It was alot of fun to drive

Postman Matt

I recognise this car, well i know a couple of its former owners from the pub i used to work for. Looks a minter, keep up the good work

Mad_Ad_300bhp

new rad Ł65
front pannel Ł60
ashley exhaust Ł165
2.5 inch flexi for exhaust Ł35

Looks really well that mate nice and subtle, did you buy the mount kit off a lad called andy?

Mad_Ad_300bhp

no mate all the work was done by chris astley(www.chrisastleymotorpsport.co.uk). He makes the conversion kits himself and also does the strengthning kits and a few more bits and bobs

paul16v

Ahh rite its just a mate of mine makes a lot of conversion kits for nova thought it was one of his, top motor mate
