[blue_peg_16v]

thought the old ones were just 1.4 or 1.6 ecos

[Spudly]

No we didnt think to get pics of it and the bay was empty but it was definately wearing a diesel filter on the n/s chassis leg and had 6k clocks in it too!

[blue_peg_16v]

[Southie]

Shame you didn't get the reg as you could have put into the dvla tax thingamibob.

[Rob]

na tigras Didnt come with any sort of Diesel engines in as standards as said they where all eco's

[Saloony]

The new coupe/cabrio one yeah. Not sure on the old one. Like the astra coupe they did a 2.0DTi version, we didnt swing for it but look on german ebay there is a fair few.

Then why did it have a diesel filter plumbed in and bolted to the chassis leg and low revving rev countered clocks lol

[General Baxter]

[scott.parker]

[General Baxter]

[Adam]

As said, all the old tigra's are either 1400 16v or 1600 16v's....

Perhaps its some aftermarket conversion or something :confused:

Negatory?

[Southie]

It could have been a transplant from a combo van :roll:

[General Baxter]

we know what we seen lol

nar it was a proper conversion, they must of replaced the entire front leg as there was no welds or anything, but it would of have to come from another diesel one lol

[Spudly]

i know what we seen lol



Seconded:thumb:

[Novasport]

No Tigra bodyshell listed for any diesel engines on EPC. Someone prob modded it themselves, I know Rob Smith built a Calibra diesel after he took the LET out of it.

[General Baxter]

well ill go and get photos tommorow, and tell them not to crush it just yet, it might be special lol

[mowgli]

where is the scrappy???

as we well know, prototypes do pop up occasionally, or a very good bodyshop might have done it.

[General Baxter]

rowleys

[Southie]

It was a one of a kind woe spooky

[sparkie1401]

Defo a conversion

Tigra is still a Corsa B which came with diesels in and everything you need to ake it work so it wouldnt be that hard to do really

i worked in a salvage yard nearly 7 years and i only ever saw 14 an 1600 petrol ecotecs
