Haven't rolling roaded it yet but when I bought it I was told it should around 120bhp but then again people can be a bit optimisitc. Standard I think they are 78 bhp, not sure about torque.

Re: Nova Rally Car

when willl this be out? sorry to hear about the incident at talbenny on the weekend - I hope Kath is ok?

Re: Nova Rally Car

Sorry chaps, not been on in a while. Yes mum is fine after talbenny accident thanks, she's pretty tough, I drove her into a brick wall at Caerwent on mother's day once!!

It's not going to be out anytime soon, the closer I look at it the more problems I find!! Starter motor is broken, wiring in general is a mess, alternator is not connected to anythinf.

Having crap with the DVLA too, car is Northern Irish but was put onto british logbook before I bought it apparently but when I tried to register it in my name they say it's notr been done. They want an MOT among other things to change it over but the mot has run out and I can't get a new one without a logbook so can't really win!!

Re: Nova Rally Car

Hello all,

long time with no update!! I've done nothing with the car for months because I got fed up of the problems with the DVLA and lost all enthusiasm! Think it's finally sorted now so cracking on.

New Starter motor fitted today so just charging battery and should be alive again!!

Good stuff, thought you were waiting for it to be old enough to insure as vintage

Re: Nova Rally Car

I got a new challenge to sort out! Got 2 sets of nova gte wheels and astra 16v brakes on the front. For some reason one set of wheels clears the brakes perfectly and with the other set on they rub so badly the wheels barely turn.

Anybody ever had this problem before with "identical" sets of wheels?
