Hope Mikes Gsi repilica's reg is a bit less offensive.
We have to do this in August! cos then we'd get a 1.8 on carbs! Thats got to be a first! And plus it will give everyone ample time to save up and get there cars sorted and running properly. and hopefully people wont drop out and or sell there car with in days of the meet! Gutted I didn't see that Lagoon blue hatch
yer, Mikes cav is a 1990 H-reg cavalier 1.8 GL, with a webber carb on it, and i ported + polished the head and inlet manifold on it. my god that thing flew when i had her still. miss that old tank. i only sold her coz i had put 3 sodding pierburg carbs on her, and the chokes packed up on all of them, so she was a nightmare to start when the engine had warmed up, and because i was doing a lot of travelling, i had to get a more reliable car. i spent 3 months trying to find a webber carb for it, and 2 weeks after i sold it to Mike, 4 of the damm things were on ebay, all brand new, all for 1.8 cavs, and all for around £30. sods law as they call it. so Mike bought one, and fitted it, and now she runs sweet as a nut and starts first time very quickly.
heres some pics of Mikes cav when i used to have her:
and then i fitted a GSI bodykit to her:
sadly she's in abit of sorry state atm, mainly due to some local ******'s breaking in her, and trying to her, then bent the crap out both of the drivers side doors, and snapped the steering wheel off!.
