i had 10 and said i'd never own another then got given 3 more!

here's one i did for a mate, seam welded and plated / semi smoothed the bay and fitted a corsa 1.6xe gsi lump running 140bhp - still don't like them though!

I had the C16xe in mine, good little engines

indeed, like a baby redtop! i'm usually sticking c20xe's in nova/corsas so this was a little different (was a c16xe - not the poxy egr version).

Olly

i dont know much about engines but looks nice and shiny lol very tidy

EGR valve on the X16xe

My mates got a daddy XE in his facelift hatch, another has the LET and aiming for big power

I couldnt beliee how easy it was to do the conersion in mine, only thing i got stuck on was electrics - grrr i hate them, so got the guy with the LET to do it :-)

i love nova loons, what happened to yours?

my nova was poop! that one looks ace though and if i had to have another would definitly be a loon.

I'm glad my 'coolness' was recognised.

yea does look pretty cool, in the 3rd pic i looks poo without the bootlid spoiler, looks much better with !

why rat it ? Wtf

agreed, looks a little like a ford KA

i like it though, nice colour :)

I think i remember that corsa from my corsa-sport.co.uk days....

would love a redtop nova anyday though!

why were you running german plates when its not german glad it got ratted tbh colour looks gash.

i like the blue one above though

what a strange comment, everyone says how much they love the colour and you think, nah that colour is gash! and your glad it got ratted, not trying to stand out from the crown are you?!?

why were you running german plates when its not german glad it got ratted tbh colour looks gash.

probably the same reason every other uk registered car that has them is running them... the owner want to put them on

looked real nice and i'm not a corsa lover by a long shot, i wouldn't say no to a nova though

I prefer this!

So do i. I doubt the ratting process has made the other one any less ugly at the front,but i do quite like them.

I have a '93 1.4mpi SRi myself,totally original spec,which i'll soon be selling because the son will need more doors when he passes his test.

i just love this!

To get a Nova that low, it's simple, it doesn't have suspension...

olly, between my mates your known as 'the dude from windsor with the g40 6n2 who has owned a hundred cars' or something along those lines! haha

you have serious skills man, that engine swap looks awesome with the cleaned bay

look sweet tho lol i had a 1ltr nova first car! it was a little go cart i loved it!

nova are the way forward there so much fun t drive i have own bout 7 novas and a couple of corsas my best nova was my sri with a2ltr redtop in it slammed to the floor with 15"

and with the german bit bout the corsa yeah polos were built in spain i noticed this the other day when i was sraying around the eingine bay its stamped with spain on it

looks very nice!

cant see why someone would rat it though... aha
