C4V V6 W.I.P THE BEGINING!!
C4V V6 W.I.P THE BEGINING!!
I hav a W.I.P on other site and im sure some of you will hav already seen it but for those who havent here we go.
The project started when on the way to Alton towers in the old cav the right foot got a bit to heavy and i blew the engine(tut tut i know) so anyway i was on the look out for a engine, when a mint V6 came along 1owner from new full service history couldnt resist.
Anyway enough talk will start with few pix of the old cav RIP

Re: C4V V6 W.I.P THE BEGINING!!
Its a shame with the first Cav, i quite like the look of that. Interesting use of Veccy door mirrors

Re: C4V V6 W.I.P THE BEGINING!!

Re: C4V V6 W.I.P THE BEGINING!!
its a shame for the second cavy as well by the look of things
Re: C4V V6 W.I.P THE BEGINING!!
Peoples tastes are peoples tastes if we all liked the same modding would b very boring hey!! It is a V6 so wanted 6pipes so custom was the only way to go lol,but there is also more to the reason and choice of pipe all will come clear later in W.I.P

I do like the old cav, not sure why but it works well.
I do like a twin exit exhaust, as ive got one but mines just twin circle slash cut.

Re: C4V V6 W.I.P THE BEGINING!!
hiya mate,
really like the look of the blue one in the 1st lot of pikies it looks like the one i use to own, what make and where did you get the front and rear splitters from on the blue one?
shame you didnt put a bigger engine in the blue one because it looks like a cracking motor.
looks like you have got some nice one off mods going on ther, not keen on some of the mods but everyones preferances are diferent, keep up the good work

The front splitter was off of a seat toledo 1991-1998
as you can see not much of a splitter on them more just part of the bumper
As for the back it was a R&A diffuser never actually made for the gsi bumper but as with the front where there's a will there's a way
