[Edited on 26-04-2008 by Vaux Lad]
final engine spec (if i remember everything):
some custom ground wild cams
double valve springs
solid lifters
bronze valve guides
jamsport ported head
45mm taper throttle bodies
90mm trumpets
kent verneir pullies
btb/sbd/vsport tubular manifold
funky valves
sbd idler's
electric water pump
dry sump
light weight pullies to suit dry sump
sainz con rods
woosner modified pistons
broddled block
dk engineering crank
helix ally flywheel
helix 4 paddle clutch
atb diff
gotech mfi pro x ecu
custom loom
thats the basics of it without going into mad detail
it will run to 11,000rpm all the bits have been proven to that level, however im a bit scared ill have the rev limiter at 10,500, it doesnt sound as scary!
I like

If thats how i think that is, you'll need to move the battery to the O/S.
Is that with you in the car or not?
Edit: Just seen....... 782kg's

You're right, the corsa should be even better being newer
TBH I know, just thought it made a good comparison, shows people the difference between the nova and corsa

Mine was 840kg but i still had sound dead in the front and i managed 100 miles for what was left in the tank.
I don't think that the ones i used were as accurate as what you have set up. I used a weigh bridge that is used for them lorries that move earth around.

bought the car home, found some more weight to remove...........
its home while i wait for the final parts to turn up (i.e. an ecu) then i can wire it up and turn the key, i can do all this from home so itll be going back for mapping soon.
sorted my gear linkage out aswell. then i washed it, t-cutted it and polished it, its now red, most impressed! any one whos seen the car recently will hjave noticed it was loooking slightly worse for wear.
also went over to GPR and got a helmet net, fitted it, looks funky, can keep m,y buttied in there now!

There's more weight in it too but Mark is too woman to get it out

Stop being a woman mark
Looks so so
I think removing the pipe between filler and tank was a bit excessive on the weight saving front, would make good target practice tho
