As i have come across to this forum i better introduce myself to those that dont know me, I'm one of the admin on novaload and have been around nova's for far to many years, had a feature car back in '98 and built a couple of track going cars since (using and progressing the original engine).

Here's a couple of recent pics of mine taken on my phone, has run consistent 14.3's when placed on pod but it is really at home on track which is what it is built and used for

FPMSL that airfreshener in that shot has been the butt of many jokes (but something was needed to keep it fresh whilst parked up over winter )

Cheers for the welcome guys

The small pipe is the single brake feed T'd of to the rears and the bigger pipe is the fuel pipe coming from the redtop pump in the back. The car is based on a budget motorsport spec, if you look in all the pictures you can see we even stitch welded the whole shell whilst we were building it which made a massive difference to the car

The car pictured above was turned from a champagne green 1.2 into what you see there in 12 working days (6 weekends), the total cost of the shell work including welding and inside/outside respray and on the road (everything in a reshell) was about £480
