If your going to do something, do it right!

Get a full system so that atleast it makes the car better mechanically, not just louder and there-by annoying

I used to love the old '85 onwards nova sr's, that 1300cc engine was brilliant for the size, would keep up with the XR2 fiesta (1600cc) of that time.

It's cause they weighed nothing!

I had the xr2 of the time, it was my baby

Na I don't really care what they think to be honest, as you can see by my sv

Where do you get them for £40?
As long as you don't care that's the main thing
local garage quoted that.

Yeah they were light, people started putting in astra gte engines in before the nova gte came along, they would wheelspin in 4th.
Seen one in fast car magazine i think that done the standing 1/4 mile in 12 or 13 sec (cant remember exactly), not bad for a nova.
It did have a really bad problem though with traction and torque steer.

Bascially yes, also the SR was reasonable to insure, the GTE wasnt. I prefered the later GSI Nova over the GTE though.

My brother bought a MK1 Astra GTE and transplated the engine, brakes etc into his MK1 Astra 1300S and the left the exterior standard, a proper sleeper that was. It was a huge fun
