Thats awesome bud and loon cavs are getting rarer apparently, especially tidy ones like that so if you can then save the old girl please, btw what was it lowered by at the rear and are they TSW warriors??

Dergnova
23-01-09, 01:09 PM
Almost sure it was 60mil corsa springs spud or it might been 60mil corsa springs wit coil cut off....tho had corsa gas rear shocks also so spring didnt fall out when full jacked up :).... the wheels are Khan RSV,v.hard to get and useualy quite dear ... you got a cav mate..... tempted to rescue it but have 3/4 projects going atm :(

Thats an interesting one, do corsa dampers fit right on then might have to look into doing that if so, aye ive got a flame red loon, 1.7 izuzu TD........:tard:


Wheels are very nice mine look quite similar tbh mine are 17" TSW warriors iirc.



Heres mine....

Spudly
23-01-09, 05:01 PM

Lovely lookin cav Dergnova, love the colour. Yours is damn sweet lookin too Spudly. I love cavs. I might have to get rid of the nova and buy a cav. Always fancied a GSi2000 :D

Spudly
23-01-09, 05:08 PM
Wouldnt think she was a dirty derv oil burner would ya lol


I keep looking back at dergs, and im getting slightly moist tbh very nice cav i vote save it bud you know you want to:thumb:

Aye sulphur cavs rock, they shouldnt be raped for their engines........


Thats why vauxhall cleverly made the calibra muhahahaha(evil laugh)

sulphur
23-01-09, 05:15 PM
Calibra's are bloody ugly, all they're good for is the engine and the interior. Would've mistaken yours for a Sri Spudly, very tidy wagon you have:)

Spudly
23-01-09, 05:29 PM
Exactly so noone feels bad pillaging a cally for its heart for a nova or corsa hehe, cheers dude (even though its a GSi kit) youve obviously spotted that they did flame red SRi`s but never a flame red GSi:thumb:

Dod
23-01-09, 05:34 PM
GSi's are over rated. Just buy an SRi and fit the GSi Kit.

Dergnova
23-01-09, 06:37 PM
Yeah i see dod on my local forum hogging every vauxhall that comes up LOL...any novas cheap dod :D lol! Cheers guys,yeah lagoon blues a lovely colour clean and in person...tempted by another myself but dunno! Thats a nice td too lad

sulphur
23-01-09, 06:51 PM
Ahah @ me failing on the GSi kit. Sorry Spudly:( Lovely motor though. :thumb:

*Goes looking for Dods collection*

Spudly
23-01-09, 07:15 PM
Yeah but you couldve also used that to make us think you are a knower of cav knowledge in that they never did a flame red GSi/turbo lol

Cheers though tis always good to get credit for my hard work:thumb:

sulphur
23-01-09, 07:16 PM
I already knew they never done a flame red GSi, I just never even noticed yours had the GSi kit on. Tidy and decieving for a dirty derv though lol

Sloth
23-01-09, 07:22 PM
needs a 1.9 cdti spud.....

Spudly
23-01-09, 07:27 PM

Cheers bud, youre gonna make me blush with all these compliments.


I get some mint reactions with her tbh, i had one lad tell me how much he loved cav GSis and how he knew pretty much everything there was to know about them....

The look on his face when i laughed and said "its not a cav GSi" was class lmfao, and teh other night at a set of lights a few guys outside a pub i heard one guy say "fook me that cav GSi is a diesel" lol

Btw rob if its doable then im up for it....................
