Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

yeah agreed noise has dropped dramatically the car is now more cavvy less chavvy after driving it for a about 500miles i have noticed that very low end torque has dropped and mid to high end torque has raised also after doing the cat and lambda i do about 35mpg average instead of the 25mpg average i...

when i bought the cav the guy before me had butchered it a little (dodgy air filter,decat etc) because of this i haven't been able to tell the difference between standard and modded to compare performance after fitting a cat to the car for the mot i must say DON'T DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE i have fit...

wow that brought back memories its amazing what you can remember at times

i still can't believe how long ago that was i was 10 my dad had a x reg mk2 cav sri then wasn't until 93 he got his h reg mexico red mk3 cav sri 8v

typical more beer tokens hopefully then my heater might work better on these cold as feck days lol

on the rover forum i was part of there was only about 5 people in the southwest section that posted but i knew for a fact that at least other 5 people only read what was going on the first time i attempted to arrange a meet in the local services will filled it so there must have been more than that ...

sorry to hyjack this thread but my redtop sri hatch only gets just above the blue on the way to work takes about 5-10 mins to get just above cold and stays there for the whole trip about 12miles (30/40/nation speed limit) unless i get stuck in traffic then it travels up abit but drops back down when...

i grew up watching cleland the bloke was a legend bit short tempered sometimes i remember watching a race at silverstone where him and some bmw driver fight it out in the end he ended up crashing into the bmw shortly after they were both out of the race EDIT looking again i think it might have been ...

na mate a HOT car is more likey to pass emissions not anything to doing with how long its been sat i know and trust the guy that done my mot (has a mk11 cav with 20xe and an astra gsi ) he said because the redtop engines take a lifetime to get HOT there a swine for emission tests

Well i ended up parting with more beer tokens and got a new lambda put for another test and it passed 0.18 co at 2550 and 0.14 co at idle hc was something like 195 and lambda 1.0098

still got alot of love for old_skool fords not enough of them on the road

i went to look at a spares or repair laser like yours when i had my mk2 escort wanted the engine, box, shocks wheels and a few other things but when i got there it was in 2 good a condition to break

extremely late reply from me but the 620ti's come with a water cooled gt25 as standard 197bhp and 182ftlb torque but the bit that makes it quite good is the torsen diff that was also standard and the huge brakes all that from a car that your granddad would be proud to own just a shame about the reli...

good i thought it might be as i have had an engine management light on since i have owned the car 2 faults the crack sensor and the lambda but i didn't want to post that so i didn't get the typical forum reply "Try that first" i was hoping for someone to say lambda before i spend out the b...

took the sri for a mot on the weekend and it fail on rear bearing and emissions i have today removed my knuckles trying to sort the problems and after fitting a cat and the rear bearings today took it for a retest and the emissions are still sky high co 4.30 max is meant to be .30 so something must ...

As some of you have seen this is how i bought my cavvy for £480 not in bad condition but needed a bit of work and a very quick removal of the stupid loud exhaust i had a problem with what i thought was an engine mount ended up being the diff self distructing due to the numpty before me using engine ...

yeah thought it was 26l for some reason when i had a look the first time i didn't see the left hand vin plate just saw the other plate

271/26L: Lagoon Blue Mica (93-96)

there holds the problem not sure wheres it is the plate under the bonnet just has loads of different codes and i can't find any other

i'm not sure to be honest i've been told its 26l but i'm not sure how to check
