very nice

[TurboDan]

13.7 is a bloody quick, was that a full blown launch with the locked box? how did it handle?


I spotted the rear parking sensors, they look mint, any more pics of them?

Nice car

[Cavalier-C20LET]

cheers lads

didnt really launch it hard tbh , was worried id break somthing ive onlt done about 3000 miles in it since i built the engine

that time was with a proper portatree timing setup aswell

handled fine altho im sure i was hearing spinning wheels, nobody else did but the crowd was a fair distance away

last time i entered it three odd years ago i only got a high 14 so i was well pleased

EVO 5 here i come


oh and the parking sensors came fitted already but the in car bit was missing so currently only the sensors left the rest is in a drawer, looks good tho

there was a pile of history with it when i got the car from regal and courtney

i came across a picture of it from years before i owned it



changed allot since then.

[gsi pie]

love it dude

the lock boxes can take any launches lol you seen ads cav do it lol

[Cavalier-C20LET]

ah it wasn the TXB i was worried about , just everything else lol, i was ment to fit new cv joints ect but the day before the drag race i had the engine stripped to just a block ,g-box and TXB as my steering rack burst

so only finshed the car 1am on the day of the event

oh yeah she now sports a 2wd steering rack, which feels much better than the 4wd one plus gets rid of the fiddled with 4wd pipework.

[TurboDan]

Thats true if his can survive his power then i'm sure most others will be fine. Adams cav really is something else!

[gsi pie]

see i did think about fitting the 2wd rack when we coverted mine

but just had a pipe made in the end lol

[Cavalier-C20LET]

i did the same myself pie but the rack shat all its fluid out funilly enough the day after i fitted the rest of my roose matrix pipes was gutted lol

but yeah im very happy with the outcome, the 2wd and 4wd racks have slightly different lock

heres another wee pic

[gsi pie]

is tha plate real ^^^

how much of a lock is different dude?

i may fit a 2wd rack while the engine is out

[Cavalier-C20LET]

i cant remeber pie mate i think the 2wd has more lock , but dont quote me.

and yes the plates really there, its a pressed one, ive got plastic ones also

[gsi pie]

thats kool you got c20 LET as you plate

[Cavalier-C20LET]

yeah it came up at the right time, just when adam was selling the omex, i bought the plate then asked for the omex but i was beaten to it

stil tho theres plenty omex ecus out there...

the kinda plate you would use at a show ect and have to change it before leaving, i wouldnt

[gsi pie]

its sweet

i missied CAV G51 the other month

[Cavalier-C20LET]

aw nightmare that would have been perfect

a local lad up here just recently bought C20 XXE for his Cav SRI ,

[gsi pie]

ya was gutted was on regtransfer.com

ya ive seen a couple of xe plates around

[th0m45]

Looking good man! lucky sod getting that plate!!

[Cavalier-C20LET]

Was more a case of the right time right place. cheers tho bud

[Cavalier-C20LET]

not much of an update but a few pics with my fresh plates fitted and my new mongoose exhaust fitted,
the exhuast now doesnt look like it hanging off the arse end and this backbox has a much nicer note than the old one did, have nemisis to thank for the exhaust.

also recently fitted some bilstien rear shocks to match the fronts i fitted no pics of that tho







i plan on fitting these in the very near future also once i find some spare seat subframes




the cars came on alot since i bought it even tho from the outside not an awful lot looks changed




thats all for now,

[TurboDan]
