Re: Keke's Cavalier Turbo

Re: Keke's Cavalier Turbo
this cav has been on ebay a few times, it seems as though owners dont keep it very long, i can appreiciate the ammount of effort and cash that has gone into this cav, and i have seen it in the metal, but its not my cup of tea, but each to there own, also its a pet hate of mine when people call there cars cavalier turbos, when they are not original cav turbos, bt cavs with turbo engines.

Re: Keke's Cavalier Turbo
im not trying to knock your cav or anything, its just a pet hate of mine, before i got my turbo 4x4 i had a cav sri with a turbo engine transplant, i used to call it the sri/turbo, but i suppose thats just me.keke wrote:thanks for the comment but it might not be an original cav turbo, but as its a cav and it is a turbo, then that = to me that its a cav turbo!turboads wrote:this cav has been on ebay a few times, it seems as though owners dont keep it very long, i can appreiciate the ammount of effort and cash that has gone into this cav, and i have seen it in the metal, but its not my cup of tea, but each to there own, also its a pet hate of mine when people call there cars cavalier turbos, when they are not original cav turbos, bt cavs with turbo engines.

Re: Keke's Cavalier Turbo
Ive said this before everyone knows im NOT a fan of kitted up cavaliers, but i do LIKE this alot. A hell of a lot of time, money and effort has gone into it and i think it looks bloody amazing
Re: Keke's Cavalier Turbo
Cheers mate, yer i know what you mean about kitted cavs but this does suit unlike most.FoxyCav wrote:Ive said this before everyone knows im NOT a fan of kitted up cavaliers, but i do LIKE this alot. A hell of a lot of time, money and effort has gone into it and i think it looks bloody amazing
Re: Keke's Cavalier Turbo
The front bumper is a mod'd Irmscher Item. It was on the original Max'd motors cav, which was a nitros c20xe I think, then He rebuilt the car using a C20let and a V6 body. Still have the Total vauxhall feature of the original and the Max power article showing it as it is now, with colour coded fuel tank and rollbars etc. It is an impressive car. If the colour codeing was red and had a standard bonnet then the car would be stunning. the lime green in my eyes is too much. As for what to call it. Cavalier Turbo does really mean the IRS 4x4 version. Its like some one calling a Hatch back with C20let in it a turbo Cavalier.
But then Not everyone knows what a Real Cavalier Turbo is.
Are you planning any mods your self?

Re: Keke's Cavalier Turbo
I'd love a look around it. Its got so much detail! the photos of the underneath in the Maxpower feature are very impressive. I'll take it down Pod and the Total vauxhall mag so you can read the history of your car!
