Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

looks like a nice we day out good cav turnout, shame no turbos tho :( dave shift ass with yours :wave Benny would have been there with his but he's lounging by the pool just now but aside for that, there aren't any Turbo's in Scotland the are in any fit state to make a trip like that just now! We'r...

A small selection from the extensive collection there Deeky son? You were like a Japanese tourist all weekend...

Indeed, epic weekend. According to James (Astra VXR) there were countless folk doing a double take as four old Cavaliers rocked on past. As far as the route goes, the road to Applecross is pretty mental but I'd say the roads back from Inverness over the Lecht and so on were as good, if not better. I...

Sound like the good auld days in the GSi up the racers car park...

great read i was thinkin of just skipping the reading an lookin at pics but nah had to read lol the cav hasnt really let you down, what i would do is if its not takin up any room in the garage, i'd leave it there until its needed, never know the volvo might lay down soon an the trusty cav can come ...

The Turbo's are absent as they have their own story and it's just too big to even bother. My original one has always been there, it's a story in it's own right then alongside it I've always bought random cars when I get fed up, bored and disillusioned. Most of which rarely last longer than 6 months ...

2mm is noithing really like fitting fait wheels on a vaux fiat......4x98 vaux .....4x100 straight on I dunno... The bolt hole is angled as are the bolts, so therefore when you tighten them down fully the bolts are seated in the bolt holes with equal pressure/force/whatever all the way round. If you...

Figured I don't have a build diary for either of the cars on here but given the Turbo progress thread spans 10 years and about a billion Meg of bandwidth, I'll opt for the easier/shorter or the two and go with that instead. So... Since the dawn of time, I've always seemed to have more cars than stri...

C70, S70R or V70R and yes, 5 x 108 so not sure how he got away with using standard bolts give the Turbo is 5 x 110?

RAF Engineering?

Rather an elitist list. If you want rare how about : a mk2 cav 2 door 1.3 auto ? I saw one for sale once, and still wish I'd bought it Well, with respect it is "Total Vauxhall - The Performance Vauxhall Magazine" so the clue is in the title and yes we are aware that a 1.0 Y plate Nova is ...

Afternoon folks I've been set the slightly daunting task of trying to secure as many endangered and rare Vauxhalls as possible for a special display at TV Live on the 7th of August at Castle Combe. So far I've come up with a short (?) list of cars that we'd like, now begins the task of actually find...

TOTAL VAUXHALL RETURN TO SCOTLAND - MAY 9th @ CRAIL RACEWAY Once again we're back at Crail Raceway in Fife for our annual event, with this year promising to be bigger and better than ever. The action begins at 0900hrs with quarter mile, drifting and club stands in attendance. Admission is a very re...

Under the 'RULES' of the Breakdown organisation I'm currently with, would having a locked transfer box be costly should I break down ? Unless Vauxhall state that in all cases the Turbo must be put on a low loader ? Standard box: AA believe it can be spec lifted or flat towed upto a maximum of 30mph...

15 years later and still the debate rages!

My Cavalier turbo has been more reliable over 6 years / 70,000 miles than my Mk4 GSi turbo has been over 4 months and 14,000 miles plus it's a damn sight more economical too.

This more myths from those who haven't owned one?

as for transfer boxes ...well ..... theres a 500 page hardback book coming out shortly detailing the safe operation of said item :lol: Oooooh, I beg to differ my friend. I can reduce that 500 hardback to one sentence... "Transfer boxes are heavy, to avoid crushing injuries, always wear steel t...

Ahhh, but see if you'd bought a Cavalier turbo the process is as follows: 1. Select victim, punching above your weight is well worth a try... you never know. 2. Select first, keep clutch depressed 3. Hold revs at 4,500rpm 4. Side step clutch 5. Hold on and remember to change into second... then thir...

Big arsed country dude... any ideas of where roughly?

May as well kick this back up... be interesting to see how may peopel up here use the forum (3?) but a wee winter meet could be a laugh, personally I say we wait untill it snows for best effect. Then sit back and wait for the excuses...

Mind he said 5 stud.... fire a set of ST200 rims on, but good luck finding a set

Correct, any lowering kit makes a Cavalier sits nose heavy... but a TD with need heavier front springs. I could never get any of mine to sit right. My GSi sat nose down so it ended up with 60mm front springs and 80mm rears and my SRi was on a 60mm kit with 10mm spacers on the front so in effect, dow...

Got to question the use of oil flushes, they're not advised in older/high mileage engines as they as so agressive they strip out all the carbon etc, older cars need this layer of shite otherwise they can start to knock or at the leats, piss oil out every seal. Best bet is do it right and do it once,...

Aye... saw it the other day and it looks a clean one, front bumper is a crime however! As for the turbo lights, fook knows where they are, I suspect in the back of the Corsa so next time I see it/my sister I'l have a rake about for them.

If yours is a 1992 then it's pre facelift, so just get a cavalier GSi grille and jobs a good un. I've got one here, collect it and it's yours...

A mate of mine bought one of those data thingys that work on the g-forces... you stick in the weight of the car and such like then basically launch the fooker, it then calculates 0-60 and stuff. Seemed fairly accurate, the quarter miles times for his (Ibiza Cupra) and mine were on par with what we w...

Not sure what the DVLA would make of you reregisterring it... Doors = 5 Edit... Doors = 2. Might raise a few eyebrows down in Swansea. However it's doable in the UK as Ecosse did similar with a 306 sedan, they removed the four doors and pieced in the doors and rear quarters from 3 door instead. It l...
