TurboDan's Z20LET-powered Cavalier Turbo in Total Vauxhall

Post by humbucker »

I wrote about TurboDan's Z20LET-powered Cavalier Turbo 4x4 for the March 2013 edition of Total Vauxhall (issue 146). No, really, I did! Here's the proof:

"New engines aren't designed to work with older cars, but nobody told the owner of this stunning Z20LET-powered Cavalier."

Last I heard off the guy that has it was that the oil pump had failed and so needed some engine work doing.

One thing that is quite annoying is the price of them these days. I sold that one for £3500 and I reckon it was easily one of the better ones left out there. But now there is some very rough ones appearing for £4500+

Feel like I was robbed really

Yeah well 6k I think is a bit optimistic but I reckon maybe £4500.

Never mind its done now. I didn't loose any money on it even after all the work that was done so I was happy
