My new car!
Turbo Mini Forums

thankyou!

Very happy with the performance and the fuel economy too, its awsome on fuel, although i havent been driving it hard on boost i bet it wil be thirsty.

Last night i took it over 70 (empty by pass late night on way to skipton) and oh my god the power up there is amazing. it pulls alot more when at high speeds than low speeds.

nothing is different apart from the turbos have forged pistons as far as i am aware.

Keep an eye out for a purple nova at pod you will all be nery suprised. Not saying too much cuz I did part of the convertion to a 2L turbo. This year it had a little upgrade just waiting to see the result

The reg is WIL something or other cant remember the full reg featured in loaded few months back

Keep you eyes open blink and you will miss it

mike mph...wot bhp the nova?

my nova be big bhp like when sorted it all out again after selling off bits...cant wait to eat some scoobys!!!(giallofly??lol) conversion planned sept 05..picking up gsi this week sometime!

my mates got a nove thats 450bhp then got nos on top and its front wheels drive...won york raceway nos trophy the past couple of years and has done mad times at york..its kiwi green..owner david dixon.

think is was running about 300 mark but just been bored out 2.1 hybrid turb JE pistons +NOS so should fly

Think I have seen it before that green one

errrrr, This purple nova was the one at Avon Park last year?
He ran a 13.6 on 'intermediate' slicks...

Some fella (who i'm sure you'll know) called Rich (resided on miniclassic when he wasn't banned) used to always say it was he who did the engine conversion... In fact, he used to almost make out it was his car!!! LOL!

you know him then lol

He did have a fair hand in the conversion I have got to admit. It was done in his garage. I did all the seam welding and making the engine mounts and half the 16v conversion.

He then dropped in the turbo lump once my mate could afford it.

But yeah thats the one.

Thats the day at avon he was having problems trying to run NOS.

The pistons started to melt basically hence it have now been rebuilt with JE pistons and rebore etc.

The bloke that owns it is my mate Will he is a nice bloke.

carl/jim i am not talking shite!! i am ntot alkign about feebles astra, i am talking about someone i know called matt with a silver mk 5 astra turbo (it used to have big OPC stickers ont he side but he tookt hem off about 10 months ago or somthing, no idea on his powers but he is a loong way from standard specs and like iain said, he gets some very good times. believe me or not we kept up with an M3.

Yeah matts mk5 OPC astra is VERY quick but i think he has a bigger turbo with the bigger intercooler.
