The intercooler is f*cking insane. My mate has a red GSi turbo and its pushing out 323bhp and 350lb/ft torque. It has LSD too, so he can actually get the power down. Looking at that, it doesnt appear to have anything like that. Ridiculous amount of power.

616bhp frpm a c20LET is very impressive. chav agon? Are you mad? 10 years ago maybe, nowadays a clean Nova gets more respect than a lot of cars on the road...

Well said! 616bhp is a mega amount of power in anyones books, let alone in a small hatchback. cracking bit of engineering enterprise.
 
why does everyone always say 'its still a vauxhall'

granted if this were a Porsche owners club we could afford to be snooty but Vauxhall dealers are like for like better than Renaults imo.

That's all very well but the actual model of car is gash. You might see a nice, well looked after Nova once a year but they are terrible cars and in this case it looks like pi$$. They look like $hit and the effort, time and money (it may be impressive to get the power from the engine) is not worth it. I just don't see the point.

The only reason people rip them apart verbally in the first place is because they get a bad name from the people that drive them.

You occasionally see chav's drive them like d*cks around town with thier loud exhausts giving it all that' or they have been radically modified to look like a tractor, hence why people slash them.

If however they were driven with respect and a more older scene of drivers, like 205 GTI's or something im sure they would get a much better name. After all, the Nova does go back along time to be fair, so it's bound to show its age a bit ragged around and treated like crap.

It's not a car for everyone, but it's always fun just to see and experiment with these things regardless of make and model.

LOL, Novas are one of the best handling hatchbacks out there! Driven ne with decent suspension and engine? Thought not....

Mine out handles my Clio al day, 130bhp 1600 8v, 40's and Avo coilovers. Tis a beast, in bits but, tis a beast ;)

same applies to clios. just as much a chav wagon as your novas, saxos, puntos etc.
