It's not cheap, better of buying one allready done and adding to it.

As someone said - just buy a nova already done - will be quite a few around that is cheaper than doing it all yourself...
Either way - a 2.0 16v in a stripped out nova on a cold day should do 14's.

well just a stripped out nova wiv a 2ltr in 14's sounds good to me.
not payin 1500 for TB's just to get a second knocked off the time, not that arsed about times on the strip, just wanna race round in it. lol

if you don't know much about engines etc just buy one done. Otherwise you will be paying someone to fit the gear anyway.
Nova 2.0 16v HERE:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9858&item=2480553889&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW
i would offer him around 2k if you were serious and work on it.

Also if u take ur nova on a trailor you don't even have to insure it so you can spend that extra £1000+ on tuning parts

ive also decided on a few things after PVS:
1) dont get speedlines cos every fucker has them
2) stripped out is definitely the way to go
3) i want some standard vaux rims in white. but dunno what style to go for yet
i would also love a valver nova. novas will always be great fun
