Hi everybody
Living in Stockholm, Sweden . This is a presentation of my -75 Nova i´ve been modifying for better handling the past 2 years.
I bought it 5 years ago and completly restored it with new paint and engine, a moderate 300-brake-hp smallblock with a 350 trannie.
Some of the modifies on the chassi so far;
FRONT:
Polyurethan bushing everywhere in front suspension
Boxed lower control arms
Solid aluminum bushing between body/frame
Stock front disc brakes with Hawk race pads w. homemade brakecooling, a 2" hose connected too a custom aluminum brake duct.
Carrera adjustable shocks
1" sway bar
Camaro 12:1 steering box
REAR:
Stock 2:73 rear end, not optimal for acceleration but it works ok on race track, when the car is already rollin...
Modified leafsprings with Nylon bushings
Gabriel gasshocks
I am running the car as often i can (afford..) on open trackdays, equipped with 17" R- tyres for the day.
The combination of running 2:73 , autogearbox and moderate 300hp is working surprisingly well.

My goal this winter is too rebuild the engine, trying too give it 50-70 hp more.
