indeeed, the reason the nova and the astra have had so many owners is that people love the cars so buy them then realise they cant drive them everyday and they have to really look after them so see the 5k the paid as a waste and sell them on!

astra was all chromed, the nova had silly amounts of chrome!
I decided against purchasing as insurance was too high and didnt like the idea of 5th injector on a microswitch to tirck the ecu to fuel overload when the turbo boosted

5th injector bodging really does work though!! My mate had a rover 216 (honda engine) with a turbo conversion done at prism motorsport. It was a fun car but was really starved of fuel when on boost, so ran lean.

Im fairly sure that they did something similar with another injector in the inlet to get the extra fuelling.

Car then made 175bhp on the rollers with only 10psi (about 0.7bar?)

I didn't realise my car would stonk a normal UK turdo by nearly a second down the 1/4 mile! And thats with a monster advantage of a brutal launch it has.

They really are slow when they get moving!

Not forgetting transmission losses/any lag etc. 215bhp isn't a lot to play with when you take those factors into consideration. Of course it could have been modded though..
