Aww she's still beautiful 😍...my teens and early 20s were dominated by the max cars and scene. God bless her and the guys and girls who keep the vibe alive in 2022
Its nice to actually still see the max power cars still around, growing up as a kid looking at all the magazines and looking at all the body kits etc in a1 motorstores catalog as a kid, wow 23year ago
Man, Most of us must remember this, I love that i keep seeing all these relics pop up still alive after so many years, Its a Key part of english car culture IMO
I remember drooling over this years ago! Great to see it’s still in 1 piece and still working. Get it back on the road and show these “pop and bang” boys how modified cars should be
Im 40…. In a messed up society we live in today, back in the 90s… the car scene brought so many together! Great video, great car… I cant begin to count how much was spent on it! But it wasn’t cheap!
Oh my God it's like a kind of retrochav time capsule. Horrifying and awesome at the same time. The fridge in the passenger footwell is amazing and the twin exit exhaust. Body-wise it's like some kind of a Corsa / Integrale mashup. To have survived at all is remarkable, to have survived perfectly preserved is mind boggling
Unbelievable...piece off history right there....i had a nova gte back in 99...i felt like batman driving around in that thing at only 19 years old,and woow the girls loved it😉😋
This is my first video, and what an introduction. Great to see an old Max Power car being brought out in to the sunshine again. And simply brilliant to see a bunch of mates getting together to help and support each in a shared passion.
THIS is what it's all about. Nostalgia, getting the boys round all together, cleaning her up, rollin her out, firing her up and re-living the good old days. That Clifford alarm sound brought back some serious memories for me too, they were the alarm to have! Brilliant vid. Enjoyed it a lot.
Absolutely love this ... Seeing the cars , coming back to life... Again. Great era it was.... 90s .. And mentioned mental health at the end. For guys!! We do kinda get forgotten as we age. People forget we were mad buggers back in day... 💯💯👌👍👍🤙👊
Remember this car as it was on the cover of Revs Magazine, with Sammi the Revs Girl on the Cover. Going to have to go into the loft and dig that issue out for a read again. Do hope this comes to the reunion show next year! Brilliant Video fella. Totally agree about the Mental Health, us men do need to talk about it, my car is my happy place!
Love this. Takes me back to my modified Corsa and some of the best times of my life. People joke now about the looks, the body kits, silly sized wheels but it was of the time.
I remember this car from max power days... I thought it was terrible!! But I've sat here watching this with such a smile on my face and I'm so glad it's still about and it still lives!!! These cars are living breathing things!! As we grow,we realise it's not necessarily all about personal taste but the passion and I think we can all get on board with that! Thanks for the show all!
Brilliant. Couldn't stop smiling. Built my Westfield with my Dad 26 years ago. Stays with you forever. Such a great thing to share. Lovely it started and ran after so long.
Back in the day, I also had a red top A-Corsa. I was smiling throughout the whole video while it brings the memories back. Nice one, thank you for making and uploading this!
Nice to know that cars like this are still out there ,and when they were last used parked in the garage ,and not left outside to deteriorate ,and then like lots of things thrown away
Love the story of how it was before work carried out then it was transformed & when it was top of its class at max power show & too how it’s been hidden away all those years let’s hope you get it back to its forma glory great video respect to you guys
Awsome. I remember tv's like that one. They were what everyone dreamed of. I carnt believe how small they are. The red top engine is a real gem. That car is Still a kick ass even now.
Actually brought a tear to my eye seeing this little beauty fire into life and the overall joy these gave in bringing people together.. Still have the poster of this little beast somewhere from when you were featured in Max Power mag.. Just next level cool this car. ❤️
Awesome, we were all at this😀 my mate did a mint Corsa delsol wide arch with 306 headlights,was Subaru sonic blue till he fitted lambo doors and gold green purple flipped it. Still got my final fling,and IL never sell it,sti type R in yellow,best £6.800 IL ever spend 😁
Front clip: Nissan ,Pulsar GTIR bonnet scoop, MKII VW Golf head lights, Mistubishi Evo V bumper with lamps, no splitter and wheel gap for days hahaha love it!!
Don't know why this popped up but it brought back memories. I was a valeter in a Vauxhall dealer in early 90s. My mates were the mechanic apprentices and fans of max power. One had a nova that he fitted a turbo to and the other had a mk2 cavalier that he slammed to the floor, channeled a transmission tunnel and stuck a senator engine and gearbox (3litre straight 6 iirc), he sold that to a guy that put a volvo t5r engine in and promptly blew it up. He then got a mk3 cavalier and covered it in body kits and ICE but did nothing to 1.3 engine so it was slow as treacle. Guy crashed into him and he hadn't told insurance about the mods so we spent an evening stripping the kits off to get it back to standard. He then got an Astra sport (mk3 iirc) which he still owns and keeps immaculate. Went to a few max power meets with them.
I've just got my 205 GTi back on the road after a very long time and I think I had that sort of grin on my face as well. Beautiful car I remember it being in the mags 👍
Those Red tops are bullet proof. Such a great engine. I put them in mk1 Astra gte’s and a mk1 Astra van back in the day. Complete with neons also 😂 the good old 90s 😂😂
Nice to see all the novers coming back out all the old ones from the From the Max power days Can't be um nice to see him coming back out Should do more maximum reunions
Wow that's brought my teenage memories flooding back. First car was a nova and bloody loved it. 90's Vauxhalls were awesome. I even have now a 97 MK3 astra as a weekend and fun car.
I'm 41 now, this took me back to be 17, lying on my bed in the army block, looking at these cars and wishing I could have them, so had a mid life crisis and bought a s2 escort rs turbo 😂😂
I left mine on the drive now ive got a hell of a job getting it back on the road to see all my old mates from the day in their old stuff if theyve still got them
This has brought back so many memories ! This the courtney turbo green nova , the silver lotus nova in northern ireland reg A16VOO, Andy jeffersons nxi6789 Black turbo gsi he was the first 17" mim raffino ...the list goes on ! Thank you 😊
I wish all the maxpower cars were kept in similar or better conditions. Would have been epic to have them reunite. I had all the magazine's back in the day. Still got some of the posters. Memory lane ✌️
Good vid and great car from back in the day....the main takeaway from this vid is that little fella doing a cracking job cleaning the window surrounds and wheels....top drawer!
Beat me to it mate . Get them involved and keep family together . You can't turn the clock back with family like you can with the car . Detailing the car is really important , too .
Blows my mind every time when I see people letting these types of cars sitting in garages for years, hopefully, they give it a good going over and change and flush all the fluids, give it a good service and keep it running sweet.
Remember this car well from its features and from car shows back in the day... Some really unique touches combined with the quintessential style of that era.
No way! Lancys Nova!! Memories of Cruise Cheshire flooding back! Mark North's Corsa, Wills Celica... Amazing times... Would give anything for one more cruise to Southport or River Side 🤣👌
That's very cool... I remember that car from when I was a young teenager, well before I could drive... max power was the thing. I'm sure I've pics of it somewhere when it was in a working progress, before paint.
Great to see this vid.. I my self own a Cavalier Turbo, but last 4yrs it's been kept in my lockup, and sort of forgot about. It wasn't until Summer just gone my mate who also stores his Astra GTE in their, got me out the house up to lockup but we would just stand and talk, more than anything. But I decided to see if the old girl would start, so we changed battery over and I turned key over, and it was cranking over but very fast!? but wouldn't start...and then after few mins It hit me, I forgot I took the sparkplugs out 🤦♂😂, So put plugs in, and then turn of key, she fired up, and I can honestly say she slightly tapped for couple mins if that and then she purrrrrd like a kitten.. even my mate was shocked, for how long it had stood, we where expecting her to tap her ass off. . . but what a great feeling it was.. and in that moment every shit I had been through with loss of family & friends, and how I've been feeling, just went away.. I felt so good smiling like a Cheshire cat! . . But I haven't been up since then, as I have many days I just don't want to do anything or be around folk. - but my mates that are brothers 1 has Nova GSi turbo, the other has Astra GTE turbo... and they kept saying we should get them back on road for car show or meet. but hopefully one day, I'll get the old girl back the road. After all once Driven Forever Smitten...
Novas were never really my thing, I do remember this one. But man I really miss the max power days. Something about the yesteryear cars in todays age! The nostalgia makes me want to buy another old car.
So many memories looking at cars like this, bring back the max power era. My first car was a nova 1.2merit saloon lol 😂 but she was my baby . Miss those days
that car is the bollocks, ive never drove but my wall was covered wall to ceiling with max power posters and i used to knock around with my mates down merry hill with the boy racers in the 90's i bloody live by there now
Crazy I actually remember this car from the magazines growing up. So cool to see they are well taken care of and still hiding in someone's shed
Think I still have one that this car was in definitely remember it
Same here I had this car on my cell wall in feltham YOI back in the day
Love it 👍

lol, get left in the dust by anything with FI and a tune these days
I disagree . I'm from that era and allways liked OEM Pluss only the most nerdy nerd should be able to tell it didn't leave the factory that way .
How can you drool over this. It’s shit.
Drooling over a Corsa? 🤦🏻♂️

@@1990JohnG That's what's mind boggling, it's been built then put away safe and sound, not sold, then ragged around. How about you a day ON
@Breath of Fresh Air Agreed. I'm not knocking it :-) It's a little slice of cultural history
@@hydorah 😂 ok sunshine
@@1990JohnG haha no worries
Unbelievable...piece off history right there....i had a nova gte back in 99...i felt like batman driving around in that thing at only 19 years old,and woow the girls loved it😉😋
It's like a little time capsule.! Absolutely brilliant put a huge smile on my face
That’s been done tastefully still looks good today
That thing is sic as fuq. Can't believe it would be just as much in spec with today's cars. Solid.
Wicked vid, brought back some memories this!! Rememeber this car well back in the day, i had ever mag. Good memories
Love seeing all these max power cars poping back to life 👌
When cars where cars love the nova shape can’t beat box arches

I remember this car was the reason I wanted a nova when I was 17
I totally remember this little beauty when I was younger. I would Steel have it to this day
Love videos like this old skool retro cars hiding away, little gem!
I'm almost twice as old as I was when this came out. I still love it and I don't care.

That sound as it was turning over took me straight back to the 90s and my Astra GTE 16v!
Over the moon seeing that this still exists. I was in love with this car when I was a young un.
Brilliant after all these years and looking and sounding great. Still a very relive that car today.
This is the early 2000s brings back memories
Still looks soo good even now 👍
I remember reading about that car. Mental seeing it again. Thank you for the footage.
Gotta love a nova bring back a classic
Love how some lads have kept hold of them. What I’d give for my cossies back
I remember that one so well an it still looks so good ! Love this series of discovering all the cars that made the scene from my childhood 👍👍👍
Good to see it again, when cars were built, seen this at a few shows back in the day love it
Front clip: Nissan ,Pulsar GTIR bonnet scoop, MKII VW Golf head lights, Mistubishi Evo V bumper with lamps, no splitter and wheel gap for days hahaha love it!!
Oh my days. I wish i still had my MkII Uno Turbo i.e. that i was rolling round in back in the 90's. These cars made a generation. Love it.
Brings back memories of my teenage years - great to see this still about
I'm 31 year old now and remember this on the redline and max power... Such a sick episode
Great to see that car up and running after 15 years 👏 😀 👍

Crazy Crazy - I can still see myself reading this very magazine! I had a Saxo VTR on 17inch alloys at the time and was super jealous of this Nova!
Those Red tops are bullet proof. Such a great engine. I put them in mk1 Astra gte’s and a mk1 Astra van back in the day. Complete with neons also 😂 the good old 90s 😂😂
15 years and the tyres still full.....fantastic
Gotta love the old Novadose days I had two of them, a white 2 door saloon and a diamond black GSi I thought I was the nuts. 🤣

What a blast from the past. Nice to see its still around
this is one of the sickest looking cars ever oml
Awesome throwback to simpler times.
Remember this car from max power days . Nothing like a home build car .
Not from there but that's a throwback definitely. Awsome to see it getting a revival
The nova was by far my favourite
I actually remember the Nova, I used to have a massive stack of max power magazines
So so cool, as soon as soon as I saw the pictures I knew the car, I miss my GSI, thanks for sharing!
Good vid and great car from back in the day....the main takeaway from this vid is that little fella doing a cracking job cleaning the window surrounds and wheels....top drawer!
