corsa_sean · 23-09-2008, 23:03

yeah was when we went camping cheers needs a wee bit of work but got it for a bargain cheers

**Melv** · 23-09-2008, 23:04

looks good Sean. Nice to see another Non XE / LET nova in the region

corsa_sean · 23-09-2008, 23:07

cheers yeah going to keep small block for handling as it handles so well atm may put in a corsa sri engine with twin 45's or jsut keep the 1.3

**Melv** · 23-09-2008, 23:13

as in a 1.4 8v? Different.

corsa_sean · 23-09-2008, 23:15

yeah 1.4 8v quite a strong engine came out my old corsa dunno yet might just work on this one what you think ? whats a stronger block etc

rickisgrate · 23-09-2008, 23:17

i know of a lovely x16xe engine going cheap in the very near future

keep the engine thats in it and put twin 45's on it, thatll be mint

corsa_sean · 23-09-2008, 23:18

lol nah going to keep it under 1.4 and yeah think that is the plan fully rebuild it i.e new pistons cam with the twincarbs manifold etc ive got a thing for this clean engine bay stuff aswell so may go down that route

vaughanmc · 24-09-2008, 06:34

Looks good mate, nice to see another one with the Predator spoiler fitted

I'll get in touch when mines is sorted out and we can meet up!

GaryVaux · 24-09-2008, 18:26

wayhey, another scottish nova (how odd does that sound, remember when novas were ten a penny, never see them on the road now.)

Good to hear its staying small block too. There superb wee engines, my mate had a works spec 1300 8v in his rally car, was putting out 130bhp, quite impressive

Stephen SRi · 24-09-2008, 18:30

thought you moved to spain
plus had a corsa 2,2 or sumething

corsa_sean · 24-09-2008, 19:26

had to put that off for a wee while due to family issues and yeah me and my brother still have the 2.1 corsa

keithcdb · 24-09-2008, 19:53

Looks alrite that, 45's would be a nightmare to choke back on a 1.4 prob better getting a cheap set of 40's

vaughanmc · 25-09-2008, 07:04

Is there many members on here from the Scottish region with Nova's ?

At least until the dvla get the finger out and send me the v5 with the new reg on it. Then itll be stripped and sent to the scrappy

Nice one we need to have a meet sometime with the Nova's

corsa_sean · 25-09-2008, 21:32

yeah sounds like a plan all the novas together would be like something out the early 90's

vaughanmc · 26-09-2008, 16:06

lol I'll say to some of them on PNG about it as well

Big Bazza · 28-09-2008, 19:35

how much would the 16xe cost if somebody wanted it and is it still avaliable.

vaughanmc · 29-09-2008, 06:24

Whatever there willing to pay mate I'd reckon

vaughanmc · 15-10-2008, 14:11

I think I seen this Nova in at Barry Devlin's scrapyard but I'm not 100% on that...

Stephen SRi · 15-10-2008, 16:20

he was selling it last i heard

vaughanmc · 15-10-2008, 20:31

If it was this one it had a crap looking steel wheel on the front and the alloys on the rest of the wheels

We weren't allowed into the yard or I'd have had a closer look at it
