Re: my new nova

Car sounds great, bet you are well chuffed. Wish i'd known you were there, I'm only a stones throw from arena.
Is well handy if you can run the car round there as at least you can check everything works and feels right before sticking it out on track. How did you manage to get on there, or shouldn't I ask?

DW, you 'phone the track to book in and then pay around £25 for either an am or pm session, you wont necessarily go out on your own though.

Re: my new nova

Yes Nick is right Dave just phone them it was £35.00 for the day we were lucky as we were the only ones there you cant test everything only managed to get third so couldnt check all the gears but the engine got a workout and the brakes and general handling and at £35 if you cant sort any issues its not too costly like a test day or trackday,it was really good to get behind the wheel again its been nearly a year ,tried not to get too confident as the curbs are about a foot high and there is not much of a run off

Cheers Chaps, might be something useful for me in the future just to check the car is all working as it is only round the corner and that is dirt cheap. I'd only do it when there were no cars on track though

Re: my new nova

good to see this at combe yesterday after following the thread for ages,
looks really well built, was having a nose round while you were checking the linkage and asked alot of question by the magazine guy lol,
went well around the track also,
are you running wide track as well as the huge wheels? lol
what brakes are you running under the 13's? would you recommend them? as there isn't a huge choice.
cheers

Re: my new nova

Hi Gaz sorry if i didnt speak to much was playing with the linkage which if you read the thread has been a long standing issue still all sorted now as for the car it is not wide track although it has been built with the capability of going wide track if we feel the need as for the brakes they are compbrake 4 pots, now i have got the right pads i have got to say they are really impressive although the kit didnt fit first time ,they are not cheap and for a bit more money you could get AP,s

Re: my new nova
