Re: Mike and James' 1990 CD Auto

Mine looks the same James. Fitted a full new GM system on the expression around 2 years ago i think.. They still last a alot longer than non GM items, Sound and fit much better.

Re: Super89's 1992 Vauxhall Cavalier Expression 16SV

Thanks. Mine has a K&N filter on top of the carb. I did adjust the mixture on the machine at work and turned the idle down a little and it seems to have stopped it.

3 Weeks after the mot. My handbrake cable snapped. No bother got on to GPS got 2 new GM cables, Perfect.

Re: Rescued a One elderly Owner K plate Diplomat saloon

I was expecting to find the same rot on my Farmyard Cav. Shocked me how clean it was once the mug was removed.

Good luck with yours. Will keep my eyes on this :D

Re: Super89's 1991 Vauxhall Cavalier SRi 20SEH

Small update, Had the SRi re-tuned after fitting the Newman PH3 Camshaft & mildly modified cylinder head. She made 168.3 BHP at 7053 RPM. I do regret not doing more research on the Cylinder head, Although I do have a fully tuned head on the cards with larger valves and flow charts off the bloke ...

Re: SRi restoration project

Looking back at your photos on facebook of the work that was done.. It looks good, It would seem that the after care to stop the car rusting has been very poor and caused more rust.

Re: Lowrider Dave - 1992 Automatic

Seems the prices for everyday Cavaliers has dropped since the scrap price is so low. People want them for nothing as if £300 is not low enough
