New trackday car

[SBD16V]

I know its not a vauxhall, but after last years drama of my exhaust falling off at the ring and melting my bumper i have decided that i dont want to ruin the nova and so iam just going to use it as a show car.

So i have brought this 98 E36 M3 evo, wasnt looking for one but when it came up it seemed to good to turn down, full BMWSH and most importantly no sunroof.

Already have 2 sparco corsa seats with Scroth 4 point harness's, bilstein pss9 coilovers with adjustable top mounts, eisenmann exhaust and its booked in with Fabricage for a custom 6 point rollcage.

Plan is to have it all ready by April and then do as many trackdays as poss.

The nova will still be appearing at the usual shows.

How it was when i picked it up.







So far just changed the chrome grilles for nice black ones.



Will update as i progress with it

Nice one mate, your Nova is too good to use on the track. The Beemer will be great fun, look forward to the build.

Awesome. Should be a fantastic track car. Keep the updates and photo's coming.

[Ozzi]

That is well nice dude.

Keep my eye out for it

[CortraGTE]

Nice!! Yellow FTW!!!!!

[CraigGreen]

Looks too good to use on track but each to their own, my fave M3 wheels too.

I used to hate Dakar Yellow when it was launched but its really lasted the test of time & I quite like it now.

What does your Nova look like?

[Lee H]

Craig - Think its the ultra low sliver GTE 1.6 16v with TBs, Comp TH's on thats been on the scene ages. My favourite Nova, was in TV about 6 months ago?

[Steve!]

Pefect track car!

[SBD16V]

Yeah thats my Nova, those that know it will know why i dont want to ruin it on a track. If i smack the Beemer yeah it will be a lot of money but its just another beemer the same as the next blokes where as the Nova is a one off and once its wrecked its gone.

[CraigGreen]

I know the Nova. Agree on your thinking about the BM too.

[RallycorsaB]

You should try a couple of sprints, the car would be ideal

[jav786]

nice

[Benn]

What spacro wheel it that?

[SBD16V]

Its a Sparco R353 only problem is ive got to relocate the horn button

[SBD16V]

Small update, stripped out the carpets in preparation for the bolt in cage being fitted, they will go back in once the cage has been fitted and painted. Also trial fitted the drivers seat.





The car is now with fabricage having the custom 6 point cage made, this will be dropped off at the bodyshop next week for painting in dakar yellow.

In the meantime these turned up today ....



Will update next week once the cage is in

[SBD16V]

oh yeah and fitted the new steering wheel

[RallycorsaB]

Nice Brakes, work better when fitted!

[K9er]

This is going to be a 10k track car soon! looks good, which trackdays days have you booked they seem to be filling rapidly! most weekend ones have already gone!
what track tyres are you going to buy?

[leesturbo]

just needs a little more grunt to get the
power to weight ratio up a bit.
handling mods are a good start

[Nom Tova]

wanna sell the old interior? pm me

[SBD16V]

Quick update, picked the car up from Fabricage today. Cage is cracking really pleased with how it came out. Will be taking it out later this week to have it painted up! was going to get it painted body colour but now thinking maybe something that will stand out more.
