Dude, you made a stupid comment though. Of course he knows it's a fucking Nova. Thats why he bought the car and that's probably why he got into modding it. Your comment of 'it's still a Nova' is one of the most fucking idiotic things people say about modified cars. You are an idiot for saying it so listen, people don't need reminding what fucking cars they own

Thats like saying a bmw m3 is still a 316

It may resemble it but just about every other part is completely changed....

I know what your saying but snobbery just because its a nova is just, well snobery.

p.s dont call things boss, innit

Cause i am going to sling some leda's on the back with remote cannisters at some point the same as i have on the front. Also with coilovers and 7.5" wide wheels avo coilovers do not fit without the tire hitting the coilover.

Hmmm..... Yeah your right JayM.... I would hate to be seen in a 500bhp Nova. I'd have to have a McDonalds bag over my head. lol, What an Idiot....

Keep up the great work Rick. Im now following the progress of this car on 3 forums. haha
