Re: Cavalier SRI
Hello and welcome to the forum
I like the Cavalier project. Not a fan of the 5 spoke alloys though, I like the fanblades Not a fan of the van either, but each to their own at the end of the day
I've got a V6 myself at the moment, great engines. A couple of other members here are converting theirs to 3 liter lumps as well I believe.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Re: Cavalier SRI
I loved the mims to be honest old school rim but wanted to run omega elites so 5 stud made sense
Van is just build for a bit of fun yeah was thinking bout 3.0 but with the mods I have done the 2.5 should be enough especially with me running xe flywheel and f18 gearbox

Re: Cavalier SRI
That's the first thing they said to me here when I got my V6, get a light flywheel and F28, but I thought sod that, I like it how it is. Way I see it, is if the traction control has a stroke when I boot it in second on a wet road with the standard box and flywheel, then what the hell is it going to be like modded? No thanks, I like it how it is!

Re: Cavalier SRI
To be honest was thinking about selling it so took let out as its high spec and lot of money tied up in engine but fell across the v6 and got interest back into it again think it will make a nice daily driver

Re: Cavalier SRI
Nice looking cav best colour for a sri like mine
Re: Cavalier SRI
Loving the look of this, have to admit it looks the nuts on the MIM Raffinos....
Really do suit the Cavalier but hey the rims you going to fit look awesome on the Cavs too..

Free Parking is a bonus, leaving my Cav in a carbon dust filled carpark is not.....
