Nice...need a shot from the rear so we can see those monster meats.
what tires/size ?

And replace that foam pipe insulation with some real SFI rollbar padding if you're gonna make the effort at all.

Great car.

Who makes tires for an 18x15" wheel?

[twosaturns]

wait, did this site change to www.pro-street.com ? lotso wheel there, and lotso hood too!

[Chevrolaine]

wait, did this site change to www.pro-street.com (http://www.pro-street.com) ? lotso wheel there, and lotso hood too!

Awesome car, Love it!!

It's a nice car. It probably was(is??) a pro street car at one time but alot of these guys want to be able to drive their car more so they are moving over to pro-touring type cars. Is it optimized for auto x or road racing? No but who cares. I think it should be more an issue of people getting out and driving their cars more and having fun. I would like to see him auto x that thing just for the fun of it.

[jtnovanut]

auto x it??? anytime

this car is all about that with a simple adjustment.

id hate to say it but some of this fancy suspension stuff is overrated. my buick skylark is stock but i set down low and put on some decent tires/shocks and i can keep up with any vette cornering LOL i have looked at most pro touring cars and 90% of the time its driver error.. and half of them have good components but are set up completly wrong. if you let the car do the work you will be much faster.

p.s. i know stance is everything but to dial your car in to handle correctly youd be surprised on the ride hidth

No, the tires, the rubber rings that go around those wheels, the parts that actually provide the traction.

Whoa, step off, I was just re-asking a question that you mis-read the first time through simply out of curiosity. I apologize that you obviously have no sense of humor.

[twosaturns]

what do you drive?


I was commenting on the fact that your car seems more pro street than pro touring.
wtf does what I drive have to do w/ the discussion? I've been on this board for years because of my interest in the cars being posted, and my history and experience w/ high performance cars allows me to (sometimes) add something to the discussion.

[smhigh]

I really like EVERYTHING about your Nova! I'm just finishing my Camaro and Nova. Wheels look fantastic! I hope my Camaro and Nova turn out half as nice as yours!
On my Camaro I had the exhaust exiting in front of the rear tire but with the sub frame connector it hung too low..... didn't tuck in nice and tight. Had to reroute out the
back. BEAUTIFUL CAR!!!!!

[trapin]

p.s. dont start something you cant finish i have no time for idiots
And we have no time for people with thin skin. We all like to have a little light-hearted fun with each other around here from time to time. Nobody was trying to insult you.

With that said, nice car you have there. Very well executed.

To Justin's point, not my thing, but it looks Bad Ass!!

[jknight16]

I think mom was wrong. She shoulda said, "If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't put down others with your opinionated critiques. Get your butt out to the garage and build YOUR car the way you want."

That's what my momma always said.

Your nova looks sick, love the hood and wheel/tire package.

[parsonsj]

If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't put down others with your opinionated critiques.Not quite. When someone posts up their car for others to look at, we tolerate criticism here. Not personal criticism, but criticism of the car in a non-attacking way.

We feel that disallowing criticism would diminish our site by neutering legitimate posting. Keep it factual, don't attack personally, and let's have real discussions.

jp

[jknight16]

I would venture to say that insinuating the OP's car did not belong on this site because it didn't fit a particular style is not necessary. That's all....

[cheapthrillz]

I saw this post when it had no replies yet, and I thought about saying that it looks more pro-street than pro-touring, but I refrained.

It is hard for me to waste my time posting to "critique" or even try to give and honest opinion on a pro-street car when the OP has been on this site for 2 years and has only 14 generic posts. Two of which are trying to sell a car and a few others insulting long time members....

[parsonsj]

I would venture to say that insinuating the OP's car did not belong on this site because it didn't fit a particular style is not necessary. Perhaps. But this is Pro-Touring.com. It isn't Bad-Ass-Chevys.com, or Awesome-Novas.com. So the question is legitimate.

Details. What are your roll center heights? What did you do to set them? What tires? Shocks?? I would be very interested to know how you take a ~4000 lb car, adjust the roll centers, change the shocks and tires, and keep up with any ~3000 car purpose-built to handle. And by keep up, I mean .9G+ lateral acceleration, sub-150 feet 70-0 braking, and 0-60 in under 4.5 seconds. And that's just the base model.

Actually, I think the entire auto industry would like to know this.

and what's a ride hidth?

[jtnovanut]

Some of you guys suck the fun out of this stuff. Jason, the Nova is bad ass. Keep up the good work!!


thanks justin

it seems as if these guys are in a big pissing match. (ive never been good at them beacuse the judged asked me to take 2 steps back to even everthing up) lol

just to let all of you guys know.....

jtnovanut has caused a lot of trouble on other car sites. He starts crap with a lot of people. Loves to show off his cars and brags about them. I'm suprised he hasn't bragged about how much money he's making off of selling cars.

He has stopped posting on the other sites cuz people are just sick of him.

I think we atleast need to give him a chance, but it's not looking good so far. I wouldn't want to dismiss a member just because one person (no offense) says that he starts pissing contests.

To the OP, not one person has said that your car is hideous, but it is not some of our cups-o-tea.... so don't take any criticism to heart, but don't be quick to call somebody an idiot....

[twosaturns]

I am SO SORRY i ever commented in this thread. I am so sorry I offended the OP, I should never have suggested his car was anything besides the most groovy-cool Nova I've ever seen in my life. I will heretofore refrain from offering anything but high praise and thumbs up.
love the nova, love the wheels, love the hood, love it all!

Looks bad-ass


eff everyone else................................

[John McIntire]

I think you would classify this car as "modern pro-street" and not "pro-touring"
Anyways the car is bad ass and I'm sure that not everyone on this site has a true "pro-touring" car. You'll find people from all different walks of life with different cars and different tastes and different ideas of what looks good.

[jtnovanut]

thanks for all of the comments. Yes i have had bad experiences on "another site" but those guys are idiots. The only problem i have is when someone puts down something they cant back up. I see cars on here all of the time that i dont particullay care for.. but you know what who cares. i just thought this was a good site where everyone gets along and talks cars.

as for the bragging think metioned. i never brag in fact most people are shocked when they see cars i have because i do not run and show them off. the main reason i posted this car up is to maybe steer someone into the direction of jons wheels and to share my hobby

[jtnovanut]

No thanks..... We don't need another one of those


heres my definetion of PRO TOURING

1. big wheels,
2. big brakes,
3. big motor,
4. Lowered stance
5. DRIVEN everywere NEVER TRAILERED
6. Something that can go cross country/ through rain... etc
7 .SAFE

[69cortezsilver]

your definition of "pro-touring" seems pretty fair, only you dont need a big motor..just a 400 hp LS engine..then you fit the mold

i know the big motor to means something that can pull its weight. i have a buick gn so i know cubic inch means nothing.

[ArtosDracon]

I just want to say that I never insulted a damn thing, I happen to like the car, I don't think it's pro-touring, but I like it, I was just curious about who made the rubber.

And I would like to add:

8. Can corner like a modern sports car.

Chill bro.....Did not read anything harmful in his comment......this is exactly you got banned from the other site......always on the defensive!! The Nova is badass......period!!! I have a 67 myself that is barely streetable but it does have plates and I do drive it. I am sure if I put pictures up there would be boo-birds along with those that think it looks bitchin'. That's the beauty of these forums......everyone gets an opinion.....it's when we focus and fixate on those that don't have the same taste or opinion as we do that things tend to get out-of-hand.

Take the praise and the criticism and accept it......you will never please everyone!!!

Again.....the car is SICK lookin' whtever style it is!!!!

Wow, some interesting posts. I came here because it seemed to have the manufactures who are cutting edge in some of the products I was interested in. But put me in with the big/little crowd with 18x15's. And I do realize it ain't made for cornerin'... :)

You must live for this stuff. taking the time to post up other links. is this site your life? its cool and all but there are other things to do. its guys like you that get off on trying to prove a point that got me in trouble on another forum

[jtnovanut]

i know this has nothing to do with this post but i wanna see what type of guys are on here

PLease tell me if im wrong......

A guy from the site found a 40k mile 67 nova right down the street from his house for sale by the original owner. He told her he would take some pics of it and post it on Steves for sale.

The next day i was on steves as usual and seen this nova in the cars for sale section. there was her phone number so i drove down to long beach to see it. when i got there i knew i did not want it it had some original paint it was a non ss and needed some love. This sounds like a typical old car but she wanted 16500 for it and i thought that was high. As i looked at the car i discovered the right 1/4 and door/fender had been replaced that killed the "originallity": for me. I was then ready to walk and the lady and her husband asked me what i would pay for it. kindly i said i will give you 10k for it (which i thought and still think is fair) she kindly accepted my offer and i drove it home on the bias plys.

When i took the car home it needed the typical. i rebuilt the front end with NEW disc brakes, put a disc master, 4 new shocks, i put on some 14x6 ralleys eith nos caps , and rings,New Top i also replaced the right door panel because when it was hit the spray painted gold one and it did not match. After i fixed these things i put it up for 16500 O.B.O. i sold it for 15500 but dont forget te money i put into it also on top of my 10k

the following day here is a negative post on steves saying how i ripped some old lady off for her car and that i was a theif. since then these a holes have been like little babies crying about everything i do. so please let me know if this is wrong

the moral of this story is i like this site and i hope to make chat and have some good times. But it seems like everyone wants to judge me. If i post up a car i build i dont want to be told im bragging because im not im just here to have a good time. The biggest problem i have is people think im lying when i say something bracuse its hard to belive. ill give an example im 24 and have owned over 200 cars all of the Hot Rods, half of them NOVAs.......

here is a pic of the car when i was done with it (except the top)
this car looked no were near this clean when i bought it thats those talley touches that make it sparkle

So... you ask for a definition, and you get one. And not just one, many. In fact you get an avalanche of previous threads about this very discussion.

And your response is

Not cool. Not cool at all.

Have you noticed that you're making an ass of yourself? I think You've spent 99% of your time insulting other people and talking about how your sh*t don't stink, and 1% of your time talking about your car.

You know why I think you're doing it?


(it seems like guys are big and bad behind there computer)

Your car is fine here. But your cocky little attitude isn't worth a damn thing around here. Stop acting like you're big man on campus. You don't know everything, you don't have the coolest of everything, and even if you did, nobody'd give two sh*ts. If you want to stick around, show your car, maybe even learn a thing or two about how to improve it, feel free.

[cheapthrillz]

Thanks JP.

[trapin]

jtnovanut, you would not have had ANY of the trouble you had in this thread had you not said, "p.s. don’t start something you can’t finish i have no time for idiots." With that statement right there you are pretty much inviting a confrontation. Had you just ignored it or been civil in your response this thread might have only seen maybe 16-20 replies (all friendly) and we all would have lived happily ever after.

Instead we have this mess because you allowed your feelings to be hurt when nobody was intending that. Go back and read how
this thread began if you don’t believe me.

From this point on you got 2 choices…own up to your mistake and start being civil with the other members here or take a stroll
down the internet for another message board to call home.

[Smock67]

Wow the tension in here is very palpable. To the OP your Nova looks good, but pull the stick outta your butt and chill. Its a forum whats the point in getting mad at people over a computer. If they want to say something foolish or "mean" get over it. Lets not act like children in recess, lets act more like grown ups and talk cars.

[JEFFTATE]

The Nova looks great , but I don't think it will handle curves very well. It's just not set up for it..
But , it's a great car .. Enjoy it !!

[Chevrolaine]

heres my definetion of PRO TOURING

1. big wheels,
2. big brakes,
3. big motor,
4. Lowered stance
5. DRIVEN everywere NEVER TRAILERED
6. Something that can go cross country/ through rain... etc
7 .SAFE

IMO,
Weren't all of those the definition of Pro Street when it started??

The touring title just added handling to all of that.

As for knowing everything.. i dont , but i do know alot.

so youre thelling me that my nova wont corner. thats fine ill leave it at that you know it all.

here is my el co. the reason i show it is because it has basically stock suspension components. i have a big bar and kybs. My buddy has a 66 GTO with every thing HOTCHKIS we go through ortega highway every month to a car show and he has trouble staying with me. im not trying to say that my car will out corner anyones im saying i think the balls in between a man will. i see cars driven at the autocross all the time and if they would just slow down and drive they would be faster. but they are so into smoking the tires they cant hook up. That is why i think the girl that drives the DSE camaro is so fast because she drives the car, sets the nose into the corner and comes off a turn great.

With one small adjustment my car will run 9.8 in the quarter.

Sounds a bit vague, doesn't it?

We know all about driver skill. There's a few around here who have it in spades. I can't say one way or another what your driving skill level is, nor does it matter for the sake of what's being asked here. You make a bold statement about the performance of your car but have not backed it up with facts, pictures, etc.

got any shots of the trunk or rear seat area of the Nova? Im pretty sure that'll dispell any rumors of your car's pro-touring or pro-street heritage.

Im guessing you've got a former pro-street car there, with some fancy new wheels and tires on it.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

There isn't. But you *are* at one of the worlds biggest and best pro-touring enthusiast's websites so you can understand when we see a car that has been converted over, we call people out on it.

Pro-touring was born out of being tired of the pro-street trend. many here have owned pro-street cars and some still do. But the vast majority of the members here don't like them. And they can tell when one sneaks in. Don't take offence to it. We kid. Expect to get roasted a little. But we are an accepting crowd. The important thing here is that you *want* to be here. You want a pro-touring car. So it's not all bad.

It's time to end this since it seems to be going nowhere. Hopefully everyone learned something from all of this.

my car will run very fast. how fast???? i just wanna be lined up. a real man never says secrets.

trust me.... when it comes to fast cars i have em. i joke with my freinds when we see a guy showing off his car i say that i have a faster car on my patio than this.... i really do.

you make a good point what upsets me is that a guy can have a pro-touring car, yet he trailors it to SEMA, my cars have been driven to VEGAS, been through rain, and i really think being out on the road hauling ASS is what its all about.

we went to super chevy in vegas a few months back. i saw a ton of pro touring cars there from down here, but whats funny is none of them drove up with us. Nick from super chevy and a few others were the real guys out there driving our cars to the fullest.

NOW YOU GET IT:cheers:

i never said it was a pro-touring.

[jtnovanut]

The Nova looks great , but I don't think it will handle curves very well. It's just not set up for it..
But , it's a great car .. Enjoy it !!


whats does it need to be set up for it?

[Smock67]

Hmmmm you sure aren't helping your case. Anyone can do a burnout and claim a 10 second car caugh Dom caugh. Show a time slip its like this old saying my dad used to tell me all the time put up or shut up.

Oh I have a friend with a worked mini cooper that can roast his tires all day long... blah blah blah.

[parsonsj]

OK, that's it. Our new friend is ambling on down the highway.
