    Chevy Nova

    Hey, does anyone know a good Chevy Nova forum? It's not for me, a friend of mine is looking to buy one and would like to learn some more.

    Build, break, repair, repeat.

        Employee of mine has 3. One for drag, one for street, and one for spare. Plus a barn full of spare parts.

          Thanks, I know how to search! Lets do a little experiment:



          Oh, what do you know, no r3v for the first 4 returns!!! hmm, that's strange! I guess not everything that comes up in a search is going to be relevant. Had I a friend in the e30 scene, maybe I would ask them, oh and maybe they would point me to r3v! hmmm, lets see, the equation would be:

          personal recommendation > marketing


          That's why I asked; thanks for useless info.

          If anyone knows of any good forums with active members, please point me in the right direction. That way I don't have to run through 4 or 5 forums to find a good one. Thanks

                  I was into Novas for years.

                  4th gen guy, myself...

                  Find Aren Cambres Nova Listserv and see if it is still alive. You will get to know a great bunch of guys, learn TONS and get more emails that you could ever imagine.

                  Every bit as good as R3V, believe it or not.

                    From the listserv rules:

                    This list is not politically correct or "family safe". We are a bunch of grease monkeys who like old cars. Go figure. If you are insecure or immature, this list is not for you. I do not allow gross or explicit stuff. If you send us something like a close up of a dead fish sticking out of a vagina, I will ban you

                    Closing SOON!

                          THANKS! Great resource, cool! Do they have an archive? I didn't see any info on that on the front page.


                          EDIT: I think this is the archive, I can search here. Thanks guys :)

                            IDK.. Most people i'm around back half their cars. I just put mono leafs on the back and a set of air shocks. The car was all stock anyway. And most likely the only car i ever left stock.

                            A couple of forums i found searching.
