My Vauxhall Nova 2.0 Redtop

[James Doyle]

I know it wont be to most peoples taste but im into anything old skool which goes like stink which this did till a leg came outa bed and went sleep walking the day after i bought it... She was gettin to much fuel through the twin 45s which caused it to poo its pantys hahaha...

So the next day i got a block for 100 quid and set about gathering up a few bits for it got on the web i got me some 1mm oversized Wossner pistons K1 rods GrpA spec valves every bolt and stud is ARP got the head heavily ported and polished new bearings oil pump water pump every pulley on the donkey is light weight now just waiting to get it back from the north now and put it back were it belongs will have a few pics of the engine when it gets back if i put cams and bike carbs on it i should see 230-250 bhp but she will be in around the 190 on the twin 45s

Also has avo coilovers all round V6 brakes on the front the engine bay is fully seem welded my future plans for it is to do the interior with old skool recaros put a retro roof rack on it have 2 raleigh mag burners to sit on the roof rack when i get it and refurb my BBS RMs with deeper dishes new bolts i have sitting their for them and do the centres in cream

I seen this for sale on DD, I absolutely love it and it looks like its showroom condition. I love the colour and think the wheels would look well sprayed cream

That's some BHP your expecting to get, if you put it on the dyno throw up the figures

yeah il throw up some figures wont be putting cams or bodies in it for a while the wheels that are on it are called whey kings they are from the 80,s i believe they are rare as hens teeth even rarer than zender turbos and fetch up to 1200 sterling without tires
