V6 Cav - Work In progress

[gsi pie]

sound good fella

iirc gaz fitted the vectra gsi recaro's into his cav, could be worth checking his build thread

[Stoater85]

Yea i seen that mate but im sure its a different set up on the recaros. . . Although i assume the same principle. I will be taking a trip to u pull it on Sunday see what seats they got!

[HAIRIBO]

Vectra Half leather looks really good in a cav. Just depends how much fannying about you want to do to make it fit. You need a angle grinder and welder to fit Vecy stuff.
I wants to fit a red leather set up from a Astra coupe. but again too much hassel. And buy the time I'd paid someone to make it fit I might as well have paid someone to retrim in fresh leather.

[Deeksin]

Wouldn't bother with upull it they bugger all in the now unless they got more cars in this week right enough vec recaros look awsome cracking seat no fancy some cav gsi seats?

[Stoater85]

Yea id put any sport seat in but cav stuff is rare to find and in good nick. Are gsi same as turbo like? U pull it rotate every day mate. I just like a nose sometime!

[TurboSteven77]

vectra half leather back bench needs welded in as braket diffrent BUT if you deff want set i know where there is 3 vectra sri with near mint condtion half leathers is BUT you will need to travel to ayrshire to get them

[gsi pie]

turbo seats are the same as gsi seats just in lether iirc dude

[TurboSteven77]

turbo seats are the same as gsi seats just in lether iirc dude

if he cab get cheap cavalier gsi seats see about getting them retrime in leather just idea few places in fife prob do it

[Stoater85]

Cheers guys! Yea Steve i thought about re trim but its a very expensive trade. I hear of people paying 500 plus just to re trim two front seats. I know its a skilled job etc but i couldn't justify that as i can't just splash that kinda cash. Transcal do it in livingston but expensive.

[V6power]

a lad from scotvoc got his corsa seats done in leather by a place in Edinburgh, £60 per seat, looks like they done a cracking job of it aswell.

[TurboSteven77]

there few place that do it there was a thread on vxdc as well sumeone was looking to get it done
seen few place that do it for good price , or if you ask sumeone with a sweing machine see if the would sew your old leather over cloth seats worth a go or as pie said try get cloth gsi seats thats what i had in my old v6 turbo look a like they are very cumfy
infact they mibby still in it as guy ript engine out and got rid of shell sumewhere up fife way

[Stoater85]

Really! I will need to try find out where that was!

[HAIRIBO]

Sri seats are the same. Just think the GSi's have lumbar surrport not sure about the Sri's

My Cesaro's aare the same style as Gsi, but no lumber surrport.

[gsi pie]

re trims aint that much tbh dude

all depends what you want done up here its £100 for to seats in a solid colour

like all black leather etc with out the fancy colour stitching etc

[TurboSteven77]

Really! I will need to try find out where that was!

snap as shell was mint and had full gsi kit on it

[Stoater85]

Ok so i could just re trim a pair for 100 quid. Would that generally mean you would loose the stitching lines that run up the seats or just mean you get that but basic black threading.?

[HAIRIBO]

If you retrim Gsi seats it'll get cold in winter with out havin the heater element

[Stoater85]

Mate if its only around 100 quid i would re trim yours if you still had them.

Yeah mine are still here.

Dave944 or Dave955 the guy with the slammed black turbo on BBS reps is busy having his seats retrimed in red leather. He said that the old lether covers off his seats will be up for grabs. so the its just a case of getting the panels need stitched in.

I'm after one bolster from him.

Let me know if you want the seats as There is someonne that is also intrested on MIG, but he keeps puttin the date back of when he wants to come for them, so not sure if he's geniune. I need rid of the them ASAP as they are taking up engine and gear box space in my garage and dont really want to pile them on top of my gf's car to make space.

[Stoater85]

Very nice figures. Bet its a quick car.

cheers guys - yes it goes well, very quick further up the range, not as great 0-60 if you know what i mean. still handy in that region though, but its in its element at the higher end.

[Deeksin]
