Cracking little car.
Love the wheels.
For a car so small, it's amazing how tough they can look.
A proper Nova realy is a brilliant little car - so much fun.

i beleive he has the apexi aswell. the autronic is supposed to be good tackle indeed
thing is with rick drapers car, its been 2 maybe 3 years on the making, but he has spent a lot of that time working out what parts etc he needs to achieve what he wants out of it. my hats off to him. it will be excellent when its done.

yeah, in a mini it would be mental. ive seen a v-tec mini go, well, i say go it span almost all the 1/4 mile pulling only 15's. if it could get the power down in a mini, it would be seriously mental

There is actually three NL nova's which are gonna be awesome when done (well more than that but only three that have pics to look at.....eh Ian S.... )
You've mentioned Ricks and Joffys, and there is also Dans:

Would be impressive, but cant see that happening myself... it would simply cost a fortune!! And seeing as chip really knows his nitrous systems, im sure there will be some gas plumbed in somwhere!!!
I will bet a fiver it runs more than 100shot of gas....
and makes approx 450bhp with gas....
all in a mini....
Sod the hokey cokey racing Astra... bring out the mini

[quote="chip-3door"][quote="Cliff S1"]GT35 that's a bit serious :eek:
Yeah, should be good for 550bhp or so hopefully.
Although TBH im not bother if it falls a bit short of that, as ive still got the nitrous on top anyway if i need it.
