[BrundukasLT]

@islandmanhere put there 1000hp engine plz :D

[Primetome]

Id use a wrx sti engine

[islandmanhere]

Yes if I were to do it now I probably would also, but this is my third engine and I don't plan to keep changing everytime a better option comes up as if you wait long enough there will always be better choices. This engine first went in the car 15 years ago before Scooby engines were the popular choice

[vfIskullangel]

Id totally use an MR2 engine for something like this.

If I could id do a Neria or Nova with an LS1.

[WIESSIO]

I need to buy a set of windows to NOVA. Can you write me where I can buy them in Europe.

These cars were designed in 1972, and really focused on the appearance rather than trying to be all out street racers. Having said that they are very light and people fit a range of engines from V8s Rovers to VW Beetles. I havent really timed the 0-100, but acceleration is quite fast but top speed is limited due to a 4 speed gearbox.

[xXGHETTOkingXx]

umm how fast runn they and in what time from 0-100?

[islandmanhere]

Actually I have 2 Nova's, the other one has a Alfa Romeo boxer engine in it with the Rad at the front as suggested.

I bought this ket with various parts, including the VW engine, and I do not intend to fit this engine in the car. It will also be a water cooled option, probably a Subaru Boxer Engine

Hey m8 Try investigating on getting a 32 valve caddilac northstar ive seen guys use them in pontiac fieros and also in mr2s

[saxmanchiro]

You should take the VW boxer out of it and bolt a Mazda rotary. I did in 84 and still run this combo. Coversion plate from Kennedy Engineering in CA includes bolt on flywheel that is VW so you can use VW trans. 180hp non-turbo. Smooth, light and powerful. no vibration and nice sound. Cooling is up front with stock rad w/ copper pipe(1.25") under pan. This kit should be fine for rad in nose.

[angurisloud]

is this a new body or an really old one, never built. The design looks 1970's...

[islandmanhere]

The original design we done by Richard Oakes in 1972. This body was produced in 1980, and never built.
