My Nova's Rebirth

[Benn]

yeah,most are around that price....but couldnt afford it..so got them looking about..
40 sheets and i'm happy on that..

[namkeaps]

yeah mate deffo worth it! wish i would have done the same lmao .. would have saved me few bob like what carbs have you got? 45mm jobbies and what kinda power do they add? are they similar/better than adding bike carbs?

[Benn]

yeah needed to save cash,
and i have 40s..but need 45s really,so trying to find some...
power wise..not fussed,its the less is more look i like....

think bike carbs are better....but to many wires and stuff...

[Tom Williams]

I would see how seans engine is first benn, i think it would be nice to see just a properly finsihed XE conversion as it should have been from the factory.

[Benn]

nah thats borning.....

well will be like that for a lil bit...

[Tom Williams]

not boring, how can an xe in a nova be boring?

standard is nice ben but no one does that anymore

[Benn]

[Grim Reaper]

[Benn]

cause its looks toss in the middle,
and will be stright,the one way for it to exit.

[DaveB]

late xe should have F18; so it must have had a box change at some point..
