some of you may recognise it from a post a while back showing on board footage of this car keeping with a supposed 400bhp Skyline!

Its owned by DAR (Darren) and its fabbin Awesome!!! For all you XE in a Nova / Corsa doubters.... I Clocked this car lapping in 1 min 23secs

Have a guess what the Reyland Cossie's were lapping in....

1 min 23secs

Granted the Reyland Escort was "Only" running 1 bar of boost.... so whats that.... 400 450 ... 500bhp? instead of its 700 potential. But credit where credits due, that Nova was FAST!

Neil



And heres some in car footage from that very said nova!
clicky here

Very quick motor indeed and well set up by its owner.!

Doesn't matter what you've got if you can't drive it.

Anyone considered the clio driver couldn't drive and was forcing the understear?

Oh, and the novas runs.

Awesome, he takes some strange lines that I wouldn't, and doesn't seem that great on the brakes, but it seems to get round the bends well.

FWD doesn't handle remember????

im sure he would have been like alonso on the brakes if he didnt care about damaging his and other peoples cars. There has to be a hint of care. Unlike some of the crap driving ive seen at combe. Track etiquette seems to be lacking with some idiots on there. But then again theres some very good drivers out there also!

My passenger headrest is my camera mount(home made style), I just got one from a scrappy and stripped it and made a mount for my camera.
Cage is an OMP 10 point bolt in.
