it may be fast no matter what anyone says though....youd still look gay in a nova

[Mr Sam]

true

 

 

which is why someone needs to stick an XE in a fiesta

[Noodles]

I think they will still be one of the last cars to restore, I cant see anyone in 10 years restoring anything newer

why would you restore a nova?

 

youd prob get more respect if you restored a citreon picasso

[Noodles]

Iv had this discussion with sarah a few times what would be the last car people would bother to restore, I cant see corsas or mk5 fezzas being done, I think it will be novas and rs turbos

[badchild]

I quite like em, and im not afraid to admit it lol!!

[bigglesmk2]

In about fifteen years time there will be a group of ppl into old skool hot hatches,Saxo's,Corsa's,Clio's.Each to there own i suppose but i wont be joining them.

Would like to think i'd still have a mk2 escort and still get the respect OSFord's deserve.

don't like them myself, but one of my mates when i was an apprentice used to strip them out and drop in cavalier engines no probs (even did a calibre turbo one once - the lad he did it for wrapped it within weeks )

i hate to agree but you are probably right there

[Wessie]

im not a massive fan, but i wouldnt say no to a 2.0 caged rally slag, oh wait i didnt say no . . . .

i do not own a nova now . . .

[Gonzo]

I'd only ever have a nova if someone had done a RWD conversion with an XE lump or something daft. Never will I own a FWD car.

[ilovegrannys]

The only time i had a Nova is on the track at St Day... and you can guess what happened to that!!! IN THE WALL after a race. Best place for them.

[M11rf]

I used to have a nova 1.0

 

Dropped a 2.0 16v in... went like a train.

 

The fun thing was, it was a Nova, and you were pushing past Mercs and BMs on the motorway at 120mph... How bad must that make them feel

[mk1super]

Im going to be diplomatic and say they have there place in the motoring world. But they arent my cup of tea.

[davreeve]

We built and raced one this year in the spedeworth rookie rod summer league with considerable success ,i,m not a great fan of them but had to admire the amount of abuse it could take and still win!

[Mick The Cabbie]

Obviously if they're chaved up, they're not too good. But done properly they can be an ok motor..

There's a totally standard lookin B reg green Nova GL hatch knocking about on retrorides. It's still got the standard green "GL" interior, sits on 14inch silver painted steelies from a Cav and runs an XE lump(also in green).

It's a proper sleeper.

[X FLOW EDDY]

Dont knock the proper nova rally cars out there my best mate has 20 grand sunk in his,

 

187 BHP all steel SBD bullt 1.4 16v on 45mm taper bodys, mbe 3d ignition and all the tricks

 

stright cut quafe dog box with a tran-x diff and inturnal linkage

 

GP A drive shafts

 

Harry Hockely 2 1/4 front struts with pillbeam linkage

 

Masive ap 4 pots

 

" works" roll cage

 

The list is endless !!!!!!!!!!!

 

And it scares me to death

[Nettles]

Mrs Nettles has had a couple of Nova’s back in the day and I’ve got to admit that when I was younger I got behind the wheel of a few SRi Nova’s and they were bloody rapid.

Of course most Nova’s still on the road today are chaved up shagged out crappers driven by nob heads.

They can be awesome with a 2.0 16v in them but you wont do 110mph for £500!! That's a pretty sorted spec I'll bet.

 

I had a mate with a std 2.0 16v on 45's years ago - it was fookin quick - ran 13.99 at 100mph on street tyres. Fast for a FWD! Have to admit I loved it

[J Elvy]

there was a white XE (i think) RWD nova on ebay a year or two ago and then i see it in kenley parked next to two round black circles in the road!! wonder which car they belonged to!! now that i would buy

[J Elvy]

 

pap pap!!!!! loool
