after my red td saloon's chassis leg went i broke it up
told a fellow that bought a few parts that i'd def have another some day
lowan behold he was offered this, but as he has a redtop saloon sri, an a gsi, he had no call for a 3rd
so gave me the go ahead
owner never advertised it an was going to break if this fella didnt want it
anyway i bought it
needs a windscreen, he's keepin engine an wheels,
car is a 94 sri 8v ( seh )

Sounds good
Smaller wheels, better acceleration

The stealths will look good when on and for a bargin price to!!!
It depends what look you want/like me I'm going for an OEM+ look (when the modifying actually starts lol) at the moment mines on mk3 astra ls/cdx alloys an I don't like em think I'll got for proper SRi fanblades or cesaro 6 spokes eventually if not it will still be a vauxhall wheel I go for!

different? what a lowered cav on stealths with wind deflectors lol just like mine then
just allot of people opt for the gsi/turbo kits and there just thesame as any other tbh, its good to see a clean SRI these days

ive acctually sold it to my mate, took a downpayment about four weeks ago but hes not getting it till next week lol,
suits me anyway till the golfs ready,
done loads to the cdx too much while the poor cav turbo sat as a non runner hence the cdx sale
turbos running now with a new engine i built from scratch just a list of small jobs to do plud rear bushes then itll be painting time
keeping my stealths for the turbo also ,got speedline minstrals for it, amonst other wheels
needs tidied up but the shell is really clean needs two wee welds that ive seen so far but no rush as ive no plans of selling it

speedline minstral looks well painted white
im liking the vents to
Re: My new Cav
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2012 1:04 am
by Cavalier-C20LET
tbh im not keen on the vents id swap bonnets with the cdx if it was as clean but the turbo bonnet hasnt got aany rust on it where the cdx has some underneith it
also id much rather if the mistrals were silver but i got a pile of parts of a lad i know breaking an ST200 so i couldnt turn my nose up lol
