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.

Ha! I thought you might approve! Was this the best Cavalier/Turbo you've owned to date?

Yeah definatly. Infact I had it for about 4 years which is the longest I've ever owned a car for.

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
