mk1 nova turbo-euro look

[Benn]

i am toying with the idea of saloon arches to be different, whats peoples thoughts on these?? i trial fitted a saloon wing the other day but the arch must be higher on saloons as the wheel doesnt appear as far up in the arch as the hatch wings

The roundness does sit up higher, but if do right it would look really nice.

[peester]

ide leave the exterior as it is matey; wouldnt look as good messin with 'loon arches.
Get the small block boosting in, then sort the kad c.

[just vaux trev]

any pics of the rear stub axle mod

[Darcy]

the adapter plates are just welded on the beam 20mm higher, the problem now is the tube for the handbrake cable hits the chassis leg so im gonna have to channel the leg out or im tempted to try mk4 astra rear brake set up

[Darcy]

well. the nova was up for sale/being broken. but after spending all morning reading benn's build thread i think im going to give it a new lease of life. my kadett c is priority to be back together for pv so ill chip away at this as doing the smoothing/tubbing arches etc wont cost me anything but time. so as she stands now she's wearing speedline mistral 4's but the arches will need modding to get it as low as i'd like. iv fitted a c16xe mated to the diff'd f28. i was going to turbo this but management will cost me and i have a 1.6 8v turbo engine in another shell so im going to transplant that in. unfortunately i have also sold the recaro seats so im going for gsi seats for now. heres a few pics, ill update as and when but wont be that often. cheers

damn those wheels are huge lmao

[Darcy]

i dunno why but they do look massive on photos. not too bad in real life but if i can get it low enough should look ok

[daddy cav]

Are they 18's ?
So the LET went into a Kaddet C then ?

[Darcy]

7.5x17s vectra st200s. yeah the let was rebuilt and thrown in the rat mobile lol

[daddy cav]

Seen ratmobile and love it .

[Darcy]

cheers mate, the old girl seems to of gained quite a few admirers, considering its just a budget work in progress

[Benn]

Glad i could inspire you.

[scorge01]

what ever happened to this?

[MattBrown]

It was at his about 2 years ago, then roughly 18 months ago a fella down the road from me bought it.

Then it completely disapeared from the scene:/

[GaryVaux]

Why had i never seen this! Looked AMAZING after the respray on the polished cav rims (and normally i hate them on anything other than a cav turbo!!)

Was it haze blue?

[lawton]

so wish i bought this when darcy offerd it me

[Th0m45]

Looks great! Cav turbo's suited it very well! those speedlines look MASSIVE on it!! very nice nova mate!

[scorge01]

yeah it did look amazing wonder where its gone now!

[FranXu]

Hi mate, very nice that nova turbo

Did you want to know which car is the intercooler you use in your nova?
last year mounted a motor nova z16ler (Corsa VXR)
the intercooler we use TD citroen was because it was to compete in autocross.
But this year we plan to advance a little in front of the car and put the intercooler in front
I leave a link to Spain forum where we have some information corsa A mk1 1.6t OPC de tierra
(forgiveness for my Spanish with google translator)
