A Few More Pics Of My Lovely Cav

Now With Heated Leather Interior

looks good, nice nick. not so sure about the zombie look on that dude in your car though!

very clean, nice colour too and looks good on the cdx wheels. get some liquid leather on that bolster and the wear will disappear.

sweet cav ,, scary passenger

Was fixing red eye on my mate and it went green lol. The cdx wheels came with the car 8 years ago when purchased by my dad for the amazing price of £350 T&T Got some 17" 8 Spoke White TSW alloys waiting for me to get money for the rubber lol. April this year i parked it into the back of a tipper van and had to replace the headlights indicators grill bonnet and drivers side wing being why the stripe is missing from it the repaired it all for the price of £70 and was sold the car a bout a month ago fo £75 Bargin although mot is due in 3 weeks but nothing i know of is wrong

Great garage just rang me and there is a two page fail list for my mot. Needing 1xDrivers Headlight/ Lens £10/15 Scrapper, One Needing adjustment, Number Plate £8.99, 1x195/65/15 Tyre £24 (part worn) so far easy fix for me then. Front brakes unbalanced, Front to rear brake pipe corroded, Rear Pass Susspention Mount Corroded, Rear Pass Handbrake little or no effort (yet had both cylinders changed and handbrake cable but for some reason only one pair of shoes? ) , pass track rodd end play(expensive maybe?), both wishbone rubbers and others i cnt remember will be getting quote for work @ 5 will be posting again

Well possiblly will be saying good bye to my old faithful Cav 1.6ls as is going to cost me way too much to fix but on the upside, maybe replaced with 2.0 Ecotec Cav

Was this a good buy, Can anybody tell me???????????

If looks like a good car in the ad, for the cash it went for.

I dont really know much about the ecotec engine. anyone got any ideas is this a good engine,

erm... that question could start a major debate.
Consisely put; Yes... but not as good as the XE (obviously) or IMO the 2.0 8v. That aside they pull well and as per any engine perform reliably if looked after well. Not the engine I would recommend for tuning, but good and cheap as a daily driver.

So what engine is this in engine number terms, But looks like a good car?

x20xev its a good engine, plenty of low down pull, its just not the fastest 2.0 its a great all rounder and if your used to a 1.6 it will be a hell of a lot quicker.

As for squig he just loves v6s and 8vs when he went in mine he asked if id fitted my c20xe (i hadn't)

yup for me 8v or 24v either single or quad-cam but as Gaz and I said they're good lumps

quicky idea... x20xe on the 1.6 gearbox, aren't they pretty short?

Would be even worse, it would be all bottom end, all the fun would end at 60

O dear what have i started now
