Sim's Gsi
Right been on here a while now, so I thought I would start a wip thread. My cars a 1992 cavalier Gsi 2wd. The plans are to whack a turbo lump in and make it a fast road cav.

Went out for a spin with my mate, and my cam belt cover decided to loose its bolt . My mate had some tape in his astra so we had to do a quick fix till I got home

Re: Sim's Gsi
I totally understand that you would want to modify your gsi but would it not be cheaper just to buy a turbo? Could be cheaper to insure too. Declaring a different engine could be costly..
