Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

glad to have helped buddy :cheers Anywho i was thinking of spraying my intake manifolds like silver :) Dont want to paint many parts, but i want the bay to look a bit more tidy and shiny. I got a wire brush today, just need to get some paint and whatever else i need. Its becoming pretty much a littl...

i bet anything, now that the hose is clear, you may find a very small difference when you floor it. And when not flooring it, the fuel economy should be slightly better. Trouble with mine, no matter how i improve performance, underneath its still a 4-speed auto

thanks mate
my first painting project they do need another coat, as its a bit light in some places, but overall i'm happy, as at least it shares the main body colour

cool. fair play :) I told u that it might need looking at :lol: u'd be surprised how much it fills up. :shock: I think its worth checking at every service interval. Thats my plan anyways. To be honest, i think that on older engines, to keep them running well, its not always about fitting new parts o...

thanks mate :) Ye i've got a few more bits in mind. But i changed my mind about the door bump strips, because if i respray them, it would look odd when the front and rear bumpers still have a black section to them, as the bumpers are not fully colour matched. Still, door handles would look good in b...

Here we are ladies and gentlemen :cool Finally got the mirrors done and i must say, it came out much better than expected :D What does everyone think? :p The Offside - Offside mirror 1.JPG Offside mirror 2.JPG The Nearside - Nearside mirror 1.JPG there is another pic of the nearside, but it only all...

true true I really wanna get a strut brace, but cant find any anywhere that would really stand out.

Cool. ye thats fair play. Clean is better than not But as i say, the main block is better off with the oil coating left on there i think.

Ye, i was thinking that mate, to bring out the shine of the block, but in the long run, all the oil on the block does help prevent rust and corrosion, so i just left it be. I did see a tub of high temperature engine paint though in halfords, tempting :scratch But ye, i'd rather shine up everything e...

Hi mate welcome along, enjoy your stay.
glad to have another beasty Turbo member in the club

welcome along buddy, enjoy your stay here

providing its got a fair amount of road tax, i say a grand at least. The way its been looked after just tells you that its sound everywhere else.

same here I'm waiting for a polished cover to arrive

I have done the cam cover intake just got to do my hose Ye its real easy to do, just hold it up, streched out and look through it to make sure its clear inside. Like i said i used washing up liquid and a thin long soft wire brush. Certainly cleaned it out. And i'm defnitely sure that after the hose...

Hey all :wave Just thought i'd give a shout out. I was thinking of doing something random to my car today, and i thought why not check some hoses and pipes and that. Luckily i checked the crankcase breather hose, as it was almost full of what basically looked like a mix of sludge, oil, dirt and grim...

i will try I'll post some pics up when i've done it. Probably be nowhere near factory finish, but hey at least i can then say i've tried And actually, reading Gaz's feedback doesnt seem too complicated now. I have now woke up and had a cuppa, thats probably why

Ye, i understand all of it, its just putting it into practice lol. I've sprayed them well with some trim restorer spray earlier, so there will be a load of grease on the surface. I guess white spirit will do for that. To be honest i'm not after like showroom style finish, but i would just like to ha...

Should we think about arranging a trip up there? To be honest if i had the money i'd be more than happy to get a long trip going with a few club member buddies
Andrei

jesus that sounds complicated
i thought it was just a matter of spraying a primer and several coats of paints on it. Ok, thanks Gaz. i'll see if i can dig up some spray cans and primer.

Hey all
Just wondering, are there any auto gearboxes for the Cavalier that have more than 4 gears? I love my first gear reaching 40 and all, but i was hoping of reducing fuel consumption and having more torque. thanks.
Andrei.

anybody at all?

Here she is
Its nice to see some shiny stainless steel in place of the old corroded grimey box with a fat hole in it.

Hi all :wave Just wondering, i'm not too experienced in spraying, but i would like to ask, what do i have to buy to spray my door mirrors to match them to my Kings Blue body? I think i need a primer and a spray can with the right colour? I figure its well cheaper than getting body coloured mirrors. ...

Waaay :D Finally fitted the SRi box on. (Well had major help from a guy across the road as he had a rotary tool set with a cutting blade 8-) Lesson learnt - easiest way to remove a backbox is to cut along the pipe's outer sleeve right to the end of the middle section pipe, then simply shower it with...

You watch too much Traffic Cops
