Re: my matt black toy
agree about the ice cav speakers do seem to lack abit of depth to the sound the make lol
thats gonna be about it for the mods to the blue one it just inherited a few odds and ends that were used on the black one in the past.

Re: my matt black toy
wanted a change had the v6 sitting around out of a vectra i had just broke for bits,plus selling the carbs and redtop frees up some money for other things,have taken the big spots off now and put a early grill on it got most the wiring done just need to figer out what wires what on the round plug next to where the battery was on the cavs loom.

Re: my matt black toy
finally got the v6 wiring done and the exhaust made on the black one ,taken a lot of time due to health problems am in 2 minds at the moment about if i should either sell it or brake it or carry on slowly when i can but this is how it stands for the moment:



also managed to put a hole in the gearbox sump on the blue one going over one of them metal flick up flaps coming out of a car park:

Re: my matt black toy
it runs great,its much better in this with the smaller fly wheel and the f20,it goes like a rocket compared to when it used to be in the vectra surprised me how much more it pulls over the old carbed redtop that i used to have in it

Re: my matt black toy
Yeah it seems to rev much more freely ,and the f20 box being closer ratio helps a lot ,I think I would hit the rev limiter in 5th easly because there still seems to be a lot of pull when your in 5th
