hii im new to this site i have been a nova driver for a while but had a little accident and it wasnt worth it to repair the car so i bought this
its a 1400 16v and i have many plans for this one, starting with a set of coilovers i got for the nova but never fitted and also a 2.0l 16v brake kit, new bonnet and new drivers door and a general tidy up, so guys what ya think?

Pretty much standard power. Changing the inlet manifold is the place to start.

They have a very restricted inlet manifold, so have a look for one of them. JR from here had over 130bhp from his one iirc. All depends what sort of power you are wanting to achieve? Anything more than that, then go for a conversion Welcome btw!
