Thats cool mate! Looking really well, I love Nova sports - have you got all the original air intake for her? Really hard to come by!! Looks like a good spray job on it too! There's a fella in Donaghadee I think who has one restored too. Good luck and keep us updated!!

photo shoots

ive been to loads of shoots last year with the corsa sr, looking foward to this year though,. there are probably about a dozen nova sports in the province and a few of us are gonna try and get them together in the summer.

.......

yeah they have more of a cult following over here than they do on the mainland, considering most of the ni sports are english cars that have been imported...

Those one piece front bumpers are class. I hear that even the OEM Sport sticker set is quite expensive. We make our own vinyls for our customer's buses - if someone was able to draw them up in CAD (or if you had the design I could do it), I could probably get a few sets run off for not big dollar.

to be honest my graphics are not original as they are no longer available, but they are fantastic copies. so are you running a red top or an eco from that 16v cavalier?

Aye, I thought even copies were hard to get!! Fraid its only an eco - but I will be rebuilding it and porting the head. If I can get away with dumping the EGR valve and cat I hope that may release a couple of ponies. Haven't completely decided how far to take the donkey mods - wanna keep reliability as a priority, but I would like more than the std 136bhp. Red tops are 150 IIRC and if I can equal that or about 160/170, that would be more than enough!!

the rally men can get 200 bhp out of the 1.6 16v eco so i dont think that 150 is that hard to find on a 2 litre with a few mods. anyway i will talk to you on monday when im down...
