My SRi

Post by SRi_stu »

Spent the afternoon cleaning the cav, after leaving it sat under a tree for 2 weeks it was looking a bit manky. Thought i'd get some more pics at the same time, unfortunately its a bit dark, and i dont know how to turn the flash on on my camera :scratch

This was when i got it home 2 weeks ago....

Cortina? My dad had one of those... he used to love it and I've always wanted to have a go to find out why.

Got my backbox done at last, picked the first one up, from a 2.2 astra and realised straight away it wasn't gonna fit, so i found a vectra one on ebay just a few minutes up the road.
anyway a quick trip to viper exhausts in basildon and .......

I've only just noticed the reply to this :lol:
Sounds the same as the standard back box, with a nice little rumble under load. Not noisy at all and cant really tell its there unless your looking at it.
But the reason i wanted it was for show not noise, the cavalier is staying sensible for now. I'm going to decat it when the baby's is old enough for me to lower it :D
