Nova GTE Cold Start* (First start in 8 months!)

Haven't heard this beautiful sound in a while as other projects have taken precedent.
Was long overdue a warm up and tick over run.
Sounds a bit tappy at the top so going to look into this when i get time.

Just been watching your videos, I've literally sold one of the most immaculate GTEs in the UK last week, was late H crossover, metallic starmist black, 1 owner car, 58k miles.. 🙈 And, I'm not looking to buy an evo 7, viewed one last week, my god, made nova's look rust free! 😂

I'd have loved to have seen that GTE Scott sounds awesome. They look amazing in black more menacing i think! 😎 Yes you are correct, be very careful with the Evo's! Get a bad one and they absolutely do make Nova's look rust free! 🤣

Arrrr the memories i had a Black Gte and wanted the digital dash so much.... I need another nova

My first car was a red F reg nova 1.3sr I kept it like this for a while then upgraded it to 2.0 astra gte engine it was awesome for years then it went on its roof a few times and that was that. I'd love another one of these great cars

[@carrevival8200]

I imagine that car was fast as f**k! I've never got to experience a 2.0 in a Nova (wouldn't mind having a go in one! 😁). You win though Jon, i never put one on it's roof but i did lean one up on its side against a street lamp 🤣

@@carrevival8200 yeh they were great I'd love to build another one. We had to make driveshafts and gear linkage and modify 1 engine mount to level the engine and we had to put the electric fuel pump from the astra and oil cooler it was a squeeze. I think you can buy all these parts now though that we had to make 23 year ago :)

@@jontait1095 so much respect for you mate having to make rather than bolt on. I'm a big believer of "built not bought" mentality as you tend to have a lot more respect and appreciation for the car. Also when you get a problem, there's more satisfaction when you have to find and make a solution. Would love to build something more custom.
