Re: I´m SOOOOO not from around here..Noob or not
Absolutely no idea if its called a nova in the US,around here theyre called corsa.
Engine is the 16V 2 liter that opel and english vauxhall uses.Also fairly common as a restrictor engine in certain formula classes around europe.
Vesa btw..was within the crew that sent Per Eklund up pikes peak in his monster SAAB a couple a yrs back.
As for the remarks.Thanx guys.
Top speed.Blew the head gasket@8880rpms in final.Simple math tell its somewhere around 190mph...fitting isnt it
Street bikes are hard out of the hole in the midst of night if ya aint on slicks.
The ones i use are common MTs 8*22*15s.
The give "fair" traction on the street.
So..on slicks outcome is about as a lotto ticket more or less...win some,lose some.
Out on the open freeway tho..the bikes are slaughter victims.
As far as availability of the cossie engines...they actually WERE exported to the US,but to my knowledge most of them were slushbox.
Robus.
A VEMS setup incl a Bosch LSU4 and built in MAP runs approx 800-850 bux racers net.

Salesmonkey.
Honestly?
One of the more fun things about the car..really is the settings.
See..around here we dont really get all taht much warmth(altho this summer has been outta this world).
Whatever..
The thing is...when on the open freeway and some yuppie ------- in his porsche/M3/Volvo R wont let ya by...and you mash it to pass hime sideways doin 80mph or so...
Now...THAT is pure entertaiment..
Speaking a which..the lettering to the right on the trunk lid says;
"Who the ---- is "R"?"
Since been replaced by;
"M this!"
Sleepers are beutiful...ya can even muster to text em out at wish with a regular ink pen without caring..

Yeah.The deltas are cool as hell.
Good friend´s got an s4(?) that he´s slowly bulding up.
Problem is-as with most badgers-the transmissions.
Around here people either use a local setup made by Fix-it,or go the full monty with X-trac stuff.
No matter,cause either way it´s some serious dollares.
