Well I had a quote of £250 which included sorting out some welding behind the rear bumper, so may go ahead with it.

Thanks bud

I can average 37mpg on a run but only 26mpg town driving, mainly stop starting, does this sound about right? The car has been chipped, power cap and decatted exhaust.


Thanks

Well I have changed the cts and hasnt made much difference, the only difference its made is leaving a nice blister on the end of my thumb (stupid manifold) next thing to try is plugs.

Ive had a price of £450 - £500 to cut out arch and rust behind rear bumper, plate all corroded areas and seal, prep and paint, does this sound about right? Ive also had a quote of £900 just to sort out the arch from a bodyshop but thats way too expensive.

cant forget my 535d m sport 350bhp, diddnt really like this car

skyline gtst


Ive missed a few out but thought id share, I do have the oppatunity of having the gte back but am unsure

Supercharged 250bhp st250 replica

so it wernt 2k mint like the ad read :lol: NOOOO!!!! I was very dissapointed to be honest with you, I diddnt mind spending 2k on a minter as it would have been cheaper in the long run, I wanted something that diddnt need anything doing to it, he wanted 2.2k but knocked him down to 1.5k which was st...

that looks in real good order. good luck with it. friend bought one in silver the other week to restore took off the side skirts to find rot like i have never seen. dont no how the side skirts stayed on. Once I have sorted the rear arch and the 2x holes behind the rear bumper, I will take off all t...

Looks good. Is it the one which was on the bay for 22 ish and advertised as mint? Yes, I knocked him down quite a lot, I travelled 200 miles but noticed that one arch had been replaced and the other had just been filled (just bought new arch) also 2x holes under rear bumper where it meets the arch ...

take it she got aircon

and its got turbo clear fog lights fitted

Yep shes got air con but doesnt work, lots of work in progress

Here is my new car, had it for a few weeks now, very nice car, got lots of plans for it, most of it is body work, although not that much, probably refurbish original wheels and stick them on and lower it 40mm, get rid of all rust and underseal, angel eyes, front splitter. http://i591.photobucket.com...

Is there a lotus carlton replica alloy wheel that would fit onto a cavalier? Can anyone photoshop some onto a cav gsi?

Is this part available for sale? (metal on show as you open the rear door)looks like mine has a lot of filler? Does a rear arch cover this?


Thanks
Leigh

Thanks mate, where is the diagnostic port on a 92 gsi?

Gaz wrote:id change the cts first.

Sorry to sound dull but what is cts?

When I turn the key to start the car, I need to keep the key turned for a couple of seconds before the engine bursts into life, it then nearly dies but just before it does it idles normaly, the car was stood for about 3 months before I bought it, its been chipped and has a cortney power cap and full...

Had the clutch cable adjusted and is now much better, thanks.
