"Road going rally car, come on Novas!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Electric windows.

Brake failure (twice!!)

CV joints and driveshaft.

Wheel bearings.

Engine and gearbox stuck together.

HT coil.

Rust on lights/connectors making them short out.

Engine blew up on the motorway.

Numerous head gaskets failing!!!

General comments?

I gave it to my rally loving girlfriend because I didn't want to sell it!! I purchased a Clio mk2 16v, although my Clio is faster there is not much in it. At weekends my girlfriend still lets me drive it although she now hates to see somebody else drive the beast.

It is standard except for a K&N airfilter and uprated valves in the carb.

It goes like stink, I love it and I want it back!!

Since I created this report the brakes have failed again and the horn has stopped working.

Currently looking for the newer AX GT (Evo2 - sounds good don't it!!) to purchase as I loved my old one so much, and the girlfriend won't give me the old one back!!

I know what you mean... my GT develops faults every now and again... but I don't care, I just fix it again!!

I love it!
