Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

Well I've finally got my self a TD! !

Picked it up on Saturday, this will be my new daily drive, Some of you's may recognise it, after an hour with hair dryer I removed close on 30 stickers and decals, them t .cut and polished, then fitted my continental booted 15's, I've got some plans for it, got the CV joint to do and swap tim gmax spring's for either standard or eibch. Well hear she is.

Looks good, any pics of it with stickers on it?

I hope you don't bring me into this as those days are long gone....


Looks quite nice with the expression wheels on it.

I don't have any photos, but it's Lew893's old car, olds of photos of it on that,

For Turbodan

Think I'll subscribe to this to see how my ex car comes on!
Love this car still!

Ahh now I see the stickers, I thought it might have had like race car stickers on it or something like that.

I love the colour, And hopefully it would take too long to get this to the point state I want.

It looks good low, But will I be happy with Eibachs? Or should I go standard???

Personally without a bodykit, I'd go standard height. But that's just me. Finish clearing up the rest of the stickers and see how she looks .

I really like the preface lift SRi/Diplomat bumpers and skirts. Its just tring to find a set

I left the those stickers on as underneath those stickers need painting.

Ye I know what you mean about the early SRi bumpers, I also love the look of the black top and bottom and colour coded middle.

I still have my early bumpers here lol.

If you werent so far away I'd snap them up mate

Cant beat prefacelift Cavs, look mint

This could be a good one

EiBach springs now on the fronts will be done same time asCV joint, Also fitted new drop links this weekend. Should be picking up a spare Cesaro interior, parcel shelf and boot spoiler this week. I plan on doing the 3 belts, filters and water pump and change all tim fluids before the winter sets in,

Well I've been busy this week. Sony sound system and Bluetooth kit fitted. Cesaro seats and door cards in, new battery with cover, fitted a new headlight and indicator, tatty boot interior trim swapped, parcel shelf retrimmed, and facelift grill painted and fitted!

oh and swapped the dull/faded clear side repeaters for shiney old school orange one's!

I thought now its fixed,Insured, Taxed and now out side my house (3weeks of not being able to use it), I would take some photos








And I bit the bullet and started to modify the SRi spoiler



Any cooments good or bad more than welcome.

The camera on my phone is crap!

I couldn't handle any more looks from people so They had to be taken off



And can anyone tell what this switch is for?

playstion? sorry

lol, yeah fror times Where I get night shift jobs with time to kill

Well just had the major service done, and swaped the APex springs for Eibach.

I've got to say the car looks better being slighty higher and feels so much nicer to drive.

Tho on the sad side I've just had to pay £360 for work done at the gargae.

Major service, new front wheel bearings, water pump/ Cambelt kit. Fit front springs and swap steering wheel.

Since fitting the steering wheel the airbag light wont go off, do I have to disconect the battery for a bit?

Could be a few things, Either

A: The airbag on the new steering wheel isnt compatable, unlikely.

B: They haven't plugged the airbag in.

C: Whilst they were swapping wheels they turned the ignition on and so set the airbag light off and now it needs to be reset with a diagnostics machine.


Oh and disconnecting the battery wont do anything, the light will still be on.

I drove it about for a week with out the airbag in, So I need to get it reset then.
