I like your confidence in my ability at my age, Gary. I am pretty good at learning new stuff, so hopefully it will all be fine. Just a matter of migrating a lot of my XP stuff to run on 10..... And halting any unwanted driver updates, such as FTDI 2.12 etc... I had problems going from XP to Windows...

I forgot to mention that the turbocharger's old/discarded components were packaged up and sent back to me by Turbo Dynamics.

I have to say, my overall experience with Windows 10 leads me to conclude that it is better than Windows 7 in many ways. Interesting to see that the platform's context menus are sharp, right-angled affairs not too dissimilar from those found on Windows 95 et al.

So far, so good...

Black faces with orange needles. OEM+! Are they mechanical or electric gauges? I have mechanical Graham Goode Cossie gauges to go in my car. Not quite sure how I'm gonna plumb 'em in yet...

A complete contrast to your earlier pictures!

My suggestion would be to rip the air conditioning system out of a Calibra or Cavalier donor/scrap car. Job done.

Failing that, speak to someone like Pirtek. They'll probably be able to help, or at least point you in the direction of a firm that can.

Those were personalised plates? The pics are a few years old, I wouldn't assume that the car is in the same condition now. I believe Martyn sold up in 2007. These photos were taken before or around that time. If you want to get in touch with him in a bid to trace the car to its current owner, then y...

I have just discovered that Windows Media Centre is missing from Windows 10, meaning that DVDs no longer play natively. This is ridiculous. Downloading Media Player Classic Home Cinema (for free) from CNET enables DVD playback - there may be a more elegant solution - else trying to launch a DVD take...

Nice. Those hub caps are so distinctive. Classic Cavalier kit!

The car was featured in Total Vauxhall magazine shortly before Martyn joined the Audi fraternity. I'm guessing this was sometime during 2006 or 2007 (Martyn sold the car around that time): http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r83/martynwebster/cavturbo/shoot1.jpg http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r83...

Yes, further investigation reveals that this is/was your car. Distorted plates are even clearer in these pics: http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r83/martynwebster/cavturbo/tv5.jpg http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r83/martynwebster/cavturbo/tv10.jpg http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r83/martynweb...

Does anyone here know of its whereabouts or if its here would love to see a pic of it now and i would love to get another one Hello, and welcome to the Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club! Nice to see another Turbo 4x4 owner joining the fold :) A couple of quick questions: did you equip your car with an enlar...

I've been playing with Windows 10 today, and I'm impressed. As mentioned in this thread (and elsewhere online) the default settings during installation are a 'breach of personal data' nightmare. I found myself turning off all but one of the box-fresh preferences. I already had Windows 10 installed o...

I have just taken advantage of the 'free OS' offer from Microsoft and upgraded my licensed copy of Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10. Windows 7 has been excellent. It's so solid and a real game changer in the Mac vs PC 'platform stability' wars. I was reluctant to switch from W7 (if it ain't broke...), pr...

Supercharger, twin turbos etc.

Hopefully, driving it will make you miss Cavalier enough to see your project thread(s) resurrected, hehe!

CDXtastic!

Unique part and serial numbers applied to the turbo:

*this claim may not be entirely accurate

So in other words, shit bounces off it. I must have skipped the post in your project thread where you talked about coating the underside of the car in the stuff. Interesting.

What's the blue 'loon in the background? Belmont?

Some amount of work gone in to that turbo. I'm sure it will put a huge smile on your face once one bolted on to your engine. Greig Yeah, here's hoping! A long way off yet, mind. As you've probably already gathered, I'm engaged in a process of stockpiling and building parts ready to throw at the car...

It doesn't help that the same colour has been known by different names over the years. I'm sure it's fine to use.

Good progress there. What's the latest?

Great to see so many low mileage Mk3s turning up on the forum. Amazing to think how many keep emerging from hibernation, especially when viewed against the number of Sierras/Sapphires from the same era. Is that an Acclaim parked next to you? Complete with Weekend at Bernie's dead driver? http://i882...
