Dat you yee man like Calvin

[@peterjackson5065]

Fucking quality 👌

[@Fordfocusstmk3250]

Still waiting on your E63 m6 review though

[@Nayfun1]

about to say the same

[@tommybravo9521]

Ultimate CHAV car, followed by the Saxo

[@tht140ixx]

Ricky you’re on a roll with these nostalgic captures 😎💯

[@louissidnell1657]

Less talk more action brother sister lol

[@pdubz8875]

XDD definitely copped the idea from monky london 😂

[@thefootballandboxingchanne2357]

Let’s all keep in mind Ricky just had a baby and his work rate right now is top notch! Keep it up bro!!

[@leedave9314]

That clip of your rolling by in the passenger hanging out the window was too good😂✌️

2019 LLF vibes coming back 💯💯

[@fgdgrddsew2]

old LLF coming back, im so happy

[@sibusisocece758]

The fact he was wearing a Gucci hat at the start , knew what kinda video you’re gonna get 😂😂. Both me and Mrs really enjoyed this one

[@rj7449]

A wise man once taught me that if you remove the hazard warning light switch and put it back in upside down you don't need the keys to start this thing

[@Mastersoftheyoutubeverse]

Not this one, but the MK2/Facelift ones.

[@dodo19923]

I heard a rumor once that an Escorts locks were no match for a half tennis ball and a good push...

[@Carl-vq6ww]

Hear the myths on top gear,, tried them both and I guarantee,that this shit is a rare thing to happen.However the hazard light switch was true but rectified quickly by Vauxhall

[@smcdetailing7921]

140bhp felt rapid in these back In the days. God knows what this one feels like.

[@teamgaming1294]

A guy I know built a C20let powered 500bhp Nova that was the most pointless car I've ever seen, it litrally could spin the wheels in any gear 🤣

[@andysautomotiveadventures9587]

Good to see Ricky giving technical feedback to the guy on what he thinks the car would benefit from. Levelling uo from just a car KZbinr to someone who's advice is worth listening to! 👌🏻👌🏻

[@ultrafex1]

Brilliant video! Loved the Nova SR’s back in the day! Great owner and car! Thanks for the upload Ricky as always 😎

[@ciartdsfa4899]

Epic period tunage on intro🔥😎👌 April 1990 first car Nova 1.2 merit, the rave finder🤣 good times. Have a friend with six, he's a hopeless nova addict & retired raver🤣

[@e4billyb]

My mate had a 1.4 SR nova back in the day, twin webber carbs, K&N filter, and a scaffold pipe, for a 17 year old, was a great car!!! Bringing back memories of my teens, thanks Ricky

Did he drive it like a joy rida?

loving it ricky, production value in these videos is insane and keeping it oldschool LLF style. Keep it up mate!!

[@dj_ees]

That little intro was sooo nicee 🌠 Big up the editor each and every time

[@stephenfarrell236]

Dont need to be a Vauxhall fan to appreciate these cars. Some day. Brilliant content love it.

[@tots_mk1_225]

Wicked intro Ricky!! Love the car too, the owner seems like a really humble And normal down to earth guy too. 👍🏽👌🏽. Reminds me of my red top calibra day's. Very nostalgic.

[@MarkGolf]

YES!!! Intro smashed it, music too!!! Nice one, back to the old skool

[@JacobtheSaw]

Huge Respect 2 the OWNER. Bless🔥

[@omari089]

😂 Ricky's jokes 🤣 out thr window gun fingers lol

[@rossgriffin9386]

These latest vids are amazing! Achievable for everyone, nice one Slick Ricky!

[@scott2495]

Speedline aliesio’s were the best looking wheel to put on a nova

[@johnmitchell2269]

Compomotive MO5 or MO6 for 80's/90's Ford's and Speedlines for 80's/90's Vauxhall's 👍 BBS have always suited VAG cars more imo.

[@TheKoki4]

Love these Novas, mate! Gorgeous content, gorgeous breakbeats

[@Simonsmith336]

Big up the Wolverhampton massive...Great video bro

[@A4ANT]

Maaauuud ! Keep em rolling ricky !! Literally !💪🏽👌🏽

[@andyp2547]

Love this car I had a 1.3sr when I was 17, did all sorts to it full system, cam, webers, skimmed head, filters, large hose kit, dam I miss it, should have swiped a red top 16v 😁😁

[@avancalledrupert5130]

Ricky hanging out the window, made me laugh so hard!! 😂 Great video

[@TAG247]

More DnB needed on the channel 👍🏽

[@powertoweightratio5815]

Such an enjoyable video. At least your not coping other ppl. Like I see ppl copying you. My favourite video to DATE..... BIG UP....

[@Noblemotorsport]

Quiafe quick rack makes them much better but makes the steering Harvey. So I used to run corsa b epas with controller so you could adjust how heavy the wheel was. Love novas had loads when I was younger

[@OwainF]

Thought this was a monky vid from the intro, not a bad thing ofc!

[@TheJkghfg]

same here. I knew it wasn't as soon as it cut back to the owner instead of John doing 100+ in 3rd gear 🤣🤣🤣

[@AK-ri7rn]

would be a sick collab tho

[@waynechadow4693]

The front reminds me of the Opel Kadette GTE 85 model we have in SA... Car is like a go kart... nice one. Thanks Ricky for upgrade on the camera. Loving it

[@calt1296]

Uve done it again Ricky. Another quality video. I do love a little asbo machine lol my 1st car was a nova 1.2 merit saloon slow as hell but loved it

[@richysracing9524]

Grwan ricky with the jungle tunes man respect, Ive seen few 4x4 nova 2.0 turbos, with over 500bhp crazy car's

[@arcadeuk]

Christ I would not want to get in a 260hp Nova, I remember seeing a few upside-down Nova's back in the day on the Friday night town circuit. I don't think I ever saw anything other than Novas end up on their roof.

Had a nova as my first car. Very smart car it got faster the more of it that the rot got too and I loved it.

[@CarsWithSmithy]

That intro was levels 👏🏻🔥

[@LEEROY_UK]

Love the intro! Nailed it ! Jungle massive!!

[@raymondselley5747]

That squel sounds like the fuel pressure regulator.

[@stevenross-watt8640]

I was hoping someone with experience in this engine would give a comment. Thanks.

[@davidgriggs3967]

@@stevenross-watt8640 Sounds like that soft blue silicone air intake on that turbo compressor housing is collapsing as it draws in air from the air filter.

[@stevenross-watt8640]

@@davidgriggs3967 another good option. I had similar happen on my escort rs turbo a long time ago. That silicon intake pipe always ended up with a little breather oil sitting in the bottom of it and over time it lost its structure and would collapse in under the low pressure created by the turbo compressor sucking for air.

[@davidgriggs3967]

@@stevenross-watt8640 I had this also , this exact sound when I upgraded my turbo and raised boost by 4 psi from stock and the oem rubber intake started to collapse in on it's self making this exact sound.

[@stevenross-watt8640]

@@davidgriggs3967 Nice. The voice of experience ! :). In the rsturbo the pipe tended to be so old and like you say when the boost was raised it would collapse so badly it would starve the turbo and the car would lose most of its bhp as soon as the turbo spooled. :)

[@jamesburn1690]

Vauxhall Nova with a Jungle intro 🔥🔥

[@yorkshirespastic]

Yes Ricky finally some proper tunes in the intro! 😜

[@DannoAviation]

One of my neighbours had a blue Nova when I was growing up, didn’t do much to it other than lower it with a fat outward-tipped exhaust but I loved it… he got rid of it in the end for a yellow turbo-engined Punto.

[@julieannecharters6132]

built the 4th one of these with a carquip kit mounts and drive shafts back in the early 90s ,sort the brakes out bud . 16v rear discs to match the 16v front discs and calipers plus change the rear bias valve sorted.

[@RZ-1JZ]

Beautiful in period edit! Nice car too:D

[@gazukroberts4690]

That noise is a vacuum leak on boost it wants a leak off test to find were the boost is escaping, props on the build looks raw as f**k luv it but it's far from a 17k build it could be build for 7-8k imo

[@Buck3366]

I’m getting same higher up the revs on my TT. Defo sounds air leak

[@tomcottam6291]

Defo not a boost leak mate, it's the bar on the pedal box needs greasing up, I don't think you would build one for 7k, 3k welding 3.5k painting 3k engine building Wheels Radiator Intercooler Turbo Drive shafts Hubs Interior All the other little bits etc List goes on mate everything was brand new on it 👌

[@Buck3366]

@@tomcottam6291 Christ I don’t think you could buy any half drivable Nova for less than 4 now. Saw a reasonably good condition GTE for sale locally for 8 and OG had a Redtop Sport on for 10( I thought that was a bargain to be fair)Even my mates Swing with a GTE engine is worth a bit now so yeah I can see where the price mounts up when doing a full conversion for sure.

[@gazukroberts4690]

@@tomcottam6291 I've built 22 now over the years I'd easy get that spec for less than 8k I'm in the trade so 3.5 is steep even for bare metal are job welding done meself the conversion is the cost n I don't need a built block for 300bhp, there's no way it's the pedal box as it would have to slide a fair bit to make that noise when on constant boost, in my experience it's one of 2 things boost leak or wrong or I proper fitted clutch ( I've had this on a couple of occasions with let or xerox clutches

Sounds like break servo seal
