Cheers James i had a real good laugh trying,if you can get the pug to handle anywhere near as good as the silhouettes it will be seriously rapid i think Matt moore did a low 49 in his shp mk1 escort Cossie powered ,cant see any reason why you cant get the pug near those times

Good write up, I really enjoy hearing your progress, well done for beating your pb lap as well.

Re: my new nova

I was at Brands yesterday and had a quick nose at the car, my immediate thought was worrying about the lack of cambelt cover if you were to ditch it in the gravel. Fingers crossed it's ok for you.

I love it's low wide stance though.

I watched quaifying from druids and it did look a little twitchy on the rear at times.

I'm not really an expert but would dropping rear pressures allow the tire to move a litte more and generate some more heat in them?

Well I'll certainly do my best, with so much adjustability i bet it will take a while to get it right.

As for sub 50's I think I'll Be happy to get round at full power in one piece lol

Re: my new nova

Its a bit difficult to fit a cover with the trigger wheel and dry sump pulley but something that i will attempt in the near future as for rear tyres i think its just a case of going a bit quicker than i used to and the rear just struggling, but plans are afoot to address this so hopefully be a little quicker next time

Im sure it will take a while to set up to your liking but once its sorted it will be rapid if you get a chance go and watch the sillouettes they are excellent to watch and take no prisoners i can vouch for that first hand

Re: my new nova

Just found a pic from Brands,didnt realise Bill got that close

[Graham]

Re: my new nova

thats not close! bill gets much closer than that

i'll tell ya what though if bill got that close you were going well to keep him behind you, its like trying to shake off a bull terrier when he latches onto you!

Re: my new nova

That was close enough for me ,tbf i think he backed off as he had no reason to race me ,i think thats what you call being experienced

Re: my new nova

A little while ago i bought some split rims from Dan (Pintoman) and got Plough Lane to paint them for me ,Thanks Guys,i have got some tyres fitted this weekend ready for Trigs trackday,i have gone wider on the back,its something we have been pondering for a while but thought it may cause the front to push on a bit with more rear grip but recently there has been a very fast 205 in the DMN and i noticed he is running the same size front and rears so have decided to try it

wheels look good

Re: my new nova

Great result last week Jezz, looks like you've really got the car going better than ever.
QMN pole as well, bet that felt good. Keep it on the black stuff the rest of the season and you are gonna have a hell of a season
