My GSI'S replacement,replacement
the clutch in me octavia has started to slip big time,and its burning oil faster petrol so thought id take it off road now tax is up and strip it to bits
picked this up today to use while the octy gets a make over.
loads of T&T left,new cambelt.new clutch,new tyres,new brakes,mint inside,nearly mint outside,half tank of jooce, all for 600quid!!
150mile trip home with no probs,doesnt like locking though without setting off alarm, ripped out the central locking box for now lol
the only thing i need to sort body wise is these bits

for the money spot on, good being back in vaux to,was looking for a cavvy but vectras are a much better buy tbh
Re: My GSI'S replacement,replacement
Good to see you bought another Vauxhall mate
Wonder how long it will be though until you fall in love with it and ditch the skoda, modded Sri140 Vectra would be good..

Free Parking is a bonus, leaving my Cav in a carbon dust filled carpark is not.....
Re: My GSI'S replacement,replacement
yeah is nice although miss the short shift in my skoda, vectra feels like changing gear with a broom. vectra handles much better though

Re: My GSI'S replacement,replacement
If the Dent is on the side of the silencer then its meant to be there. Allot of people sell the irmscher backboxes as damaged because of this dent, not realising that it should be there, its so it doesnt catch the spare wheel well.

Na that's ok i don't mind you having it my nieghbour wanted it but wanted to pay £30 for it i told him no and he then paid £60 lol from another of his friends.
It's just in the way i was given it by a friend to see if it would fit the cavalier but i really like my old calibra v6 box got a nice note to it gonna be even louder if i get my other bit to my system making it straight through lol .

hate plastic bits so much
couldn't resist a peak of my new upgrade
