HIya,

the nova isnt bad at all performance wise.. its offroad atm and im carrying out a couple of twiddles on it (new cam and head rebuild) so im entirely happy with it. I would estimate the 0-60 would be approx 8 seconds when all is done. Not bad for an N/A 8v motor smile Also got it on good authority that it will shoot a good flame out when backing off hard from full throttle laugh

The calibra is a 1993 redtop, Group N chip, Full mongoose exhaust system, Janspeed headers, Reiger GTB Race Kit (comprising, arch extensions, front and rear lower spoilers, sideskirts), with a Prima Evo Rear spoiler and also a Mattig Roof tip spoiler. Alloys are 10x17 rear and 8.5x17 fronts running 255/40 and 215/40s respectively.

tis an awesome car - and that goes well as well.

Thanks

Phil

PS: dont 40s sound awesome? Everyone should drive a car with 40s at full chat at least once so they can hear how a motor should sound.

PPS: Yes scooby - i am mad <img border="0" alt="happy" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions038.gif" />
