Unlucky with the first one, I like cavs too but I'd rather spruce up something lighter, silver/grey one I like alot suits the wheels just not too sure about the sun strip thing :thumb:

You like your boats then
@Ryan: Aye, the sun strip and chavtastic Stickers have to go.
@Phil: Yup, they're nos 4 and 5 of the current collection, but TBH they Handle beautifully. Very predicatbale and still pretty sharp. Also, they're as comfortable as fook.

oh what happened to the rear springs in the silver one? are they missing. i am so sorry to read about your clutch, i hope it ends well!!
The springs are still there, just lodged between the irs and the boot floor. :lol:

I'm guessing thats ones with modded suspension? My ex's (standard) cav was a right meal to drive - fine on the straight and flat, but anything slightly curved and it was like trying to direct the titanic down an iceberg infested water flume. Understeer FTL, although I'm thinking thats just a Vauxhall thing lol

Yeah, they can handle well when tweeked. I got the Konis from an Astra and they're st around 1/2 way and it makes the drive firm and very comfortable. If i wanted to go balls out handling I could firm them right up but its nice the way it is. Also, the Black one isnt a GSi (But has all the best bits of a GSi on it) so it hasnt got the IRS to make a balls of itself!!
My god what drop are the rear springs on the GSi, i sooo want lol

there awesome, cant beat a nice cav imo, love the 2nd one.. but as said before, sunstrip is a wee bit dodgy! lol
very nice mr!
Is there a good owners club site? i want to see some more....
Theres a few, www.cavaliercrazy.co.uk (http://www.cavaliercrazy.co.uk) www.ctor.co.uk (http://www.ctor.co.uk) not too sure on others though!
lose the badboy bonnet on the black one, i love cav loons - was supposed to be getting one given to me that acquaintance was scrapping but it never came to me :mad:
The Black one is going back to standard including the Bumper tops and the colour coded Handles. Also, its not actually a Cav. Its an Opel Vectra A. Cool **** eh?
As for the grey one, its a breaker. Its rotten and has a twist in the chassis which is a pity cuz its a flyer. Oh well, its an engine for another of the fleet!!
As for the sites, try www.totalopel.com (http://www.totalopel.com) Its an Irish based site which should be up and running in the next day or so. We're big fans of them on there!! :D

LOL, what, 3 years before you have? lol
Cavs are a great choice of car. That said, I still have 6 Novas and only 5 Cavs. lol
