It's been snowing here in Wales on and off since Christmas and since the local council now only grit A and larger B roads I decided to take the Nomad out for a spin. Turns out that was literally what I got. Light car, AT tyres, modest throttle and steering input and WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Anyone else been...

I currently have a Nomad on standard brakes, it's fine but doesn't inspire huge confidence. I'm certain the sports pads will improve this a fair lump and it's a very cheap upgrade post fastory. I have driven a car with Alcons and they are significantly stronger but i would caveat i still think my no...

I saw the thread title and got all excited that it was somewhere new to take a Nomad to play....

I've also found material in 3mm thickness which should be lighter than the stuff i posted above but i'm concerned it'll deflect too much at higher speeds.

Appreciate what you've done there- I have similar plans - just looking for the right type of flaps presently - and thanks for posting ;) A7DUO, did you find your desired flaps yet?? https://www.plastics4performance.com/mud-flap-material.html I've been looking at these in red to match my bonnet and ...

Thanks all for the responses, they're really interesting to read. It doesn't sound like the switch to mud tyres will improve the stopping performance but i'm currently not on the the big brake setup either so my tactic is avoid the crash rather than hoping to stop... To be fair the mud's on our defe...

Having now owned my Nomad for a couple of months I can finally say it's starting to get under my skin. If I'm honest the first couple of trips out left me feeling a bit concerned i'd bought the wrong car. I was finding it difficult to judge on road, struggling to find places to stretch it's legs off...

I was pondering a post I saw about snapped driveshafts and mention of rover/mg parts. Nomads and I guess Atoms use an old rover PCD of 4x95.25. I'm guessing this means that there are some honda rover cross over parts including MGF oe callipers unless you have Alcons. Has anybody got firm knowledge o...

Hi guys,

Alas holiday cancelled for me but now potential house move means most time committed to snagging! Uggggghhhh

Good question [mention]Karl V[/mention] a bloody great grin, a near compulsive need to seek out gravel trails and a bit of a cleaning ocd to keep it shinny..

Also MODS!!!

Good to meet you all

Came home via what could only be described as a rally stage and spent the afternoon cleaning! How do you make the sump gard shinny again??!

Thanks [mention]phil4[/mention]

Hi Karl,

Tried to send you a pm but not sure it’s gone as sat in my outbox.

What time do you reckon on hitting the golf club? I won’t make Aust but potentially the latter part

I can tell you its absolutely glorious in the wye valley at the moment - they're all local roads to me and I can vouch for their entertainment value!
