Post by tattoodevil »

I've been offered a back box off a GSi, will it fit my 1.8?

I've got a reducer somewhere in the shed which I reckon would adapt the bore, just need to know it the hangers are in the same place?

Thinking about it probably not as the gsi is independent rear suspension not like the normal cavalier one, it may do but i wouldn't bother

A Gsi box will fit a calibra but not a beam type cavalier
