Love it ;D are you keeping it as a sleeper in the same colour The only way is rwd a hot hatch is ok but power is limited to 200bhp any more and as you said its left in rubber on the tarmac Always wanted to do a Mk1 Astra rwd, keep the post coming and what blower are you using ?

Lovely, but, surely you've just moved the wheelspin from the front to the back. Not that thats a bad thing ;D
Look forward to reading your progress.

Yes!
Were you not tempted to sit the engine further back or are you trying to keep it all within the confines of the factory 'bay?

When I seen a Nova thread I was not expecting this! Nice going man, always good to see a "long 12" getting some attention but that's brilliant

The most boring shape Nova in the naffest colour - FANTASTIC!!!! An' what's going on here then, the engine is facing the right way! Hopefully it'll be going back a good few inches though? I'd want the back of the cam cover level with the scuttle for better weight distribution. The trouble is, this is gonna wheelspin everywhere with the sort of grunt a supercharged C20LET will give - BRILLIANT!!!! Waaaaaay better to have lots of wheelspin from the right end! Sideways is the way forwards as they say! This MUST stay in it's original colour and ideally wheels too (albeit banded). ;D Brilliant work mate, keep us updated with lots of pics.

The blower being used is an Eaton M90 Gen3, should be nice and loud!
The engine is in its final position... ok I know ideally it would handle better if it were further back but I wanted to keep the engine in the confines of the factory bay.
The idea is the ultimate Nova sleeper (except its rather low), but yes its staying this colour (I like it!)
