Same as what my brother in law did, ditched some 18" TSW's for brand new GSi Ph2 rims and it looked so much better TBH.

Revised suspension & brakes and some other shizzle, random bits of carbon badging on the dash and what not if my memory serves me right.

That ST is pure sex. Makes me miss my Vec GSi. :( God do I love the roar of that v6.
very nice vec bud. those yaris's (yari?) are very capable car, t sport turbo with a tein suspension kit ftw.

But you would rather have nova than an R8? But rather a Yaris than both?
Is an st not based on a gsi then?
No the GSi is based on the ST, the ST came out a year before the first GSi's.
very funny ben. i did my appernticeship at toyota. was there 5 years. still pick me nova tho ha ha! or my cav.
Morning and welcome very sexy looking veccy there bud, im gonna have to find this thread you got accused in though lol
Btw that lee guy is from grimsby, and ignore slothsport hes the village idiot and they dont let him out much :thumb:
oi! i was out last nite ta. took 3 weeks to get the right pass tho.....
anyway you buying my nova?;)
Err only if youre selling it for a quid, a half chewed chewy and a used glass eye lol
hmm tempting. call it 600 and its yours. ill even rebuild the motor. plans are moving differently. got a saab motor and manta box. you can see where this is going!
If i could i would really, bung it on here in for sale section bud maybe someone will buy it, refit a "dose" kit and restore it to its former glory!
Btw you got a wash leather i need to bath the cav but cant cos someones whipped mine:cry:
i havent got time to finish it mate job and my house come first. i jus looked cant find mine either, guess the purple monkeys have eaten em all

cheers fella
here enjoy lol. seems a few numpties seriously need to get there facts right. fookin internet warriors
starts on p25 but the whole thread is worth a read
http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=106406&page=25
dont worry mate there are some normal people one here. hope you enjoy ya stay, whats the 3.0 like on juice? and performance? what box you running?
petrol !!! dont mention that word lol luckily the vectra isnt my everyday car so dont have to worry to much about mpg but it does about 28ish normally 36ish on motorways but will drop to 17 if giving it some.
still running the normal v6 box fella, plenty of fluid changes and fingers crossed its ok yet
performance wise the figures on paper dont do it justice. the mid range grunt is unbelievable and never fails to make me smile
hmm. i've been planning to put one into a corsa c tbh. guess i need to do it then! ta bud
You want the 3.2 V6 for the Corsa C, much easier conversion.
I like the 3.0l Vectras its a very worthwhile conversion and agree totaly on the cheaper than a 2.5/2.6 replacement, the F23 is a pretty good box so chould be fine.
ben it should be running an f25 in the vec, as its an early one, 3.2 eh? youve thought bout this as well then. any pics of the cambelt mount etc? been planning this for 2years. corsa-c.co.uk is a bit......poo!
