Thinking about a re-spray with all the trim smoothed down and sprayed black?


Ive got 288mm vectra v6 brakes fitted

That is a lovely clean example, I love seeing another clean SEH. how long have you had her? what wheels are those? never seen those ones before. keep her going mate.

[Rich P]

Ive had her for about 2 years now and the wheels are off a mk4 astra,sport i think but they are 15's and would rather have 17's,either black or white or just silver?

[Cavyman_130]

keep the 15's on her mate, they look more at home. clean example.

[cavyman]

oh that is pretty nice like. l wish mines was a hatch reminds me of my old one. l would be keepin that
as it is but if your going change the wheels get cesaros painted white
btw what exhaust and filter you running on the car??

[Cavyman_130]

looks like a peco or janspeed back box?? or it could well be a remus jobbie?

[Rich P]

it has a supersprint manifold and a sebring full system.KnN filter but being replaced by an airbox

wow thats a nice one.. wish mine was that clean ! how many miles ??

[Rich P]

[dazzlersri]

[dazzlersri]

oops ! just read your previous replies... sorry, too busy looking at the pics !

im planning on a stage 3 head should be good for another 30hp,also planning on a lightened flywheel

[FoxyCav]

Thats one of the nicest Early Cav's ive seen. i love it

[cunningham]

i really realy like that looks good

i actually think those wheels look really good on it

[cavyman]

im planning on a stage 3 head should be good for another 30hp,also planning on a lightened flywheel

hmm no 8-10bhp is a more spot on

[Cavyman_130]

got to agree mate, you wont get gains of 30 horses on headwork, will prob be somewhere around 8-10hp

[Rich P]

stage 3 head will include 270 profile cam,vernier pully,uprated belt and head gasket

[cavyman]

stage 3 head will include 270 profile cam,vernier pully,uprated belt and head gasket

whats getting done to the head/? a 270 cam is spot on but its the torque graph that will gain you can go to a 276 for a few extra bhp at top but idle control valve will suffer. vernier pully will make it lighter and easliy to rev and a stronger belt will just mean less chance of snappin.

[Rich P]

not sure about all the things they do for a stage 3 head,includes larger valves i remember that.dont want to go too over the top so im sticking with 270 cam.i think they time the cam in with the pulley to get best torque curve

like it ...very clean example of an early sri

[FoxyCav]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!! i Love it. makes me hanker after an early Cav, would mean me selling the present one though and ive sunk too much money etc into it. Lovely Cav mate
