It far better than all the spi 1.8s used in the mk3 Cavs. I like it better than 20ne

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
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.

Just looking and all the comments are just the same for the nova but I do want to do it.
