Re: my winter car/project cheap cheap.
Honestly im so close to doing so! I love the v6 engines, I miss my Belmont purely because I miss the v6 I put in it. A mk2 Astra with v6, "it will be slow" "it wont handle" etc, b#ll#cks, I got 215hp from the c25xevwith diy ported head, 3branch manifolds, ported throttle body, 3.0 cams and decent exhaust. It also handled very well with the right suspension.tommy8252 wrote:Yeah another 4 door loon
That front bumper looks like a mk1 mondeo front bumper without the gaffa tape lol
Get a v6 in it, you know you want too
Just looking and all the comments are just the same for the nova but I do want to do it.
