Depends how you use the word partners lol.
I was thinking of making it a few hours, and have a 'fix it' day.
I'm working solidly for 2 weeks.

So when I know I'm definitely free and so is Gary we'll arrange a date

Loving the progress on this thread, Ian.

Keep the updates coming mate

Getting there fella keep up the good work I am indeed. The block and head are now at 'Ian Walley Racing' in Darlington. Getting checked over making sure they are healthy. In time I'll disclose why they went to Ian Walley Racing. Rather than a run of the mill garage... as I have plans :) And Ian is ...

I know the one.
Can't remember the lads name.
Mine is SORN, but close by to there too

Hi guys

Just gauging interest if anyone would be interested in a mini Cavalier meet in Darlington.
At mine and Gary's (Envoy CDX) unit
Some weekend or another??

Adam

I'll have a dig through my stash of stuff in the unit, Dave.
No promises mind.

I'm thinking of frankastiening a Mondeo oil cooler to the cav when she's running the C20XE

Welcome back mate! Good to see your back into it mate :) HAHAHA Cheers lads. Ok so a little update on the XE. Sorry for the poor quality pics (Camera phone) http://imageshack.us/a/img16/6741/qivy.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img706/21/y0q4.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img545/9621/7846.jpg http://images...

The C20XE I bought as a potential engine swap for the Cavalier.
Is currently in the tear down / inspection phase.
Once again, I forgot to get pics as I just got on with it.

Must remember to take pics as I go and update the WIP
Pics tomorrow if I remember

My mates (Scott aka Wookie) drift car, set up by 'drift works' http://imageshack.us/a/img209/4446/39754947922881880642617.jpg And my OTHER mate's (Ian) drag Cortina 1,000hp+ http://imageshack.us/a/img94/1852/iwr1.png Both sports are good if your taking part. I personally think drifting is a better s...

Nope won't fit.

Cav 4 stud is 4*100

So won't fit.
I've got some 108s as i thought they might fit on, and they didn't

Adam

It's actually all in the machine shop as we speak. Should be ready in a few weeks. I can be a Dan's also as he around the corner from me. Better give mine a bloddy good clean its hanging. I'll only be in 'Bodge' (the Mondeo). The Cavalier is no where near being road legal or trustworthy to do the d...

A few of my mates do drifting mostly at Teesside autodrome, have yet to try it myself. But i've been a passenger and its pretty good fun, even as a passenger. Other mates do drag racing and being a passenger in a V8 Cortina with 1,000+hp also has its smile factors. First time out in that, as a passe...

Finally my pistons arrived today after 12 weeks. http://www.vauxhallcavalier.com/forum/download/file.php?id=3468 yes all of £539pound. think of all the biscuits i could of bought. Sh*t the bed! I was looking at Wossner for my XE rebuild, but at £539 for pistons never mind another £390+ for conrods!...

Autoglym (or other brand) interior shampoo, and gentle scrubbing.
Then a wet vac to pull out the loose grit and grime.
You may have to repeamore than once.

Or get the entire car valleted and get the valleter / detailer to clean the matts too.

Adam

Repaired a while ago.
Been at various auto-shows since then.

Looks straight mate.
Assuming it was armed response, does it have the long stroke engine.
That some of the police forces opted for, for some of the RRVs?

Now...... More pics
