Any more info on the spec of your nova? I too have a 1.6 8v and am currently running 160bhp and 132lb/ft torque. Send me a u2u incase Oli gets upset at the post hi-jacking (sorry Oli)


Course I'm not upset, any small block chit-chat is all good by me

I'd expect mid 5's 0-60mph in my 106... if i ever get to use datron timing equipment again...

I'm saving up for a Quaife c/r box just now...

The worst thing with the Corsa is it's so bloody heavy for a little car.

If it was on the road I'd drive it to Northants lol.
There'll be many more shows/trackdays where you can see it, it should look more purposeful by then too
