Like the throttle bodies! Do you have an estimate of bhp and torque figures? And indeed, no barryboy at all

When I had it mapped it produced 169bhp @ 7467rpm and 119.4lbft @ 6046rpm, which is good enough for a 5.36 0-60 and 13.8 1/4 mile, it's ability on track is more impressive tho

very nice, nothing like 'sleepers' hey

love the cold air feed mod when the plate is off, might have to borrow on that one!!

What sort of weight would a stripped nova be?

somewhere in the region of 680-720kg! Makes for a very good power to weight
Seen your thread, the 106 looks gorgeous, I put a 16v in my bro's S1 rallye yesterday!!!

awesome, proper bean-can stuff even with stuff like plexi glass and fiberglass bonnet and boot etc, i dont think i could get below 750kg at best (without cage also).

just noticed no mirror on passenger side, less drag, i like

cheers, he'll have fun for sure, try and reuse the S1 box if you havent already and its not too tired. has a much shoter final drive than the 16v box's come with. Internals all otherwise the same.
