I saw this and laughed.
How to really do up your crappy car for only £30 and some inginuity (sp?)
Done up Vauxhall Nova

 

[Race Idiot]

​

There used to be an image here, but it went down.

Bah?

 

[wee_man]

It was this that did it for me. Sports exhaust.

 

[VIPFREAK]

You know the only difference between this idiot and that other idiot William Hung? Well maybe I don't have to say anything more...

 

[donbenni]

I feel SO proud. The guy's from my county! Yay

 

[donbenni]

Shame, he ruined it at the end.

 

[Elstro]

That guy is an official idiot

 

[Ev0]

I would pay to see a car that is that ****ty. The 'exhaust system' and the 'paint' stripes are just beyond all comprehension to me!

 

[Famine]

No - that was a mickey-take.

These guys, on the other hand, are deadly serious about modifying their Novas:

 

[ExigeEvan]

The sad thing is...that is exactly the kind of thing I see occasionly cruising my neighbourhood.

 

[Ev0]

Ahhhh, Famine and his Novas! I remember seeing the bottom one before!

And another lovely Nova for everyone's viewing pleasure.

Someone get me a plane ticket to the UK and an RPG...

 

[GilesGuthrie]

Oh, I can top that: Pink and Black Shed

 

[Famine]

Ah yes - daan posted it before

I'm not sure which is worse - a crap Nova to which lot's of attention has been paid getting everything neat and tidy, or a crap Nova with random cack glued to it... They're both still Novas...

Another thing that I am becoming increasingly aware of is the increase in size and rediulusness of the spoilers stuck on first generation Toyota MR2s.
I have seen bookcase, high risers and huge aluminium bolt ons.

Actually, when the first item he bought was chicken wire, I had hope, but in the end, he just junked it up.

Keep in mind MR2s are rear wheel drive, so a good downforce producing spoiler will aid the car's performance. Sticking a spoiler on an FF car like a Nova is about the most idiotic thing you could do to try to improve performance, which is why they are so hilarious.

Hey that white one with the bodykit and dual headlamps ain't half bad.... Hell, compared to stock it's t3h s**t...

 

[Famine]

Even though it's been lowered to within an inch of it's life, has a pointless "USS Nimitz" flight deck spoiler on the back, a bonnet scoop for a non-existant top-mounted intercooler and looks like a Lada Samara?

 

[Ev0]

Bah, I just spent the last 3/4 hour looking at lousy riced cars thanks to this thread!

And yet another Nova for GTP's viewing pleasure

I don't know what a Lada Samara is (but do know what a Suzuki Samurai is, since its model name sounds alike), I like the drag-racing-spoiler, which is better suited for hatchbacks anyway, and low is cool

It's not overdone, and I like that

 

[VIPFREAK]

Nice post EVO 👍

You like it? It's not been overdone?

Here's the eBay ad. I would warn you to stand well away from the screen, but you seem to be functionally blind anyway, so I doubt there'll be a problem.

Oh, and "Language Warning". Not because it's rude, but because it's so bad that reading it may make you illiterate.

Notice on the engine picture how he zooms in on the air filter, so he doesn't show how the filter is almost the same size as the rest of the engine

Gotta love the 48 size font too!

*edit* I actually read the text, and whoever is selling this monstrosity has the grammar of a third grader! For example:

IT WOULD BE GRATE IF IT HAD A FULL WHITE LEATHER INTERIA.

I should have taken Famine's warning more seriously...

 

[Victor Vance]

Dude, did a 7-year old do the bodykit? Or maybe the owner can't use a computer and had his son do it?

BTW, that car can't do 'Inertia' for s**t.

Also, I don't think Famine can argue it's the best done up Nova of the bunch

 

[TheCracker]

...i can only presume that this is a 'Team Uncle Bens' Nova?

 

[Ev0]

...i can only presume that this is a 'Team Uncle Bens' Nova?

To quote the Uncle Ben's commercial

'Uncle Ben's. Rice it up!'

I will pay money to see someone put that on the side of some riced up car, along with the Uncle Ben's logo.

Ain't half good either...

he imagines someone in their right mind may buy it for £2,795?? Even the current bid of £275 is too much. Probably a bid from Green peace hoping to recycle all the plastic

these are some amazingly cheesy machines....but that one takes the cake!!
