I think it stands for Sports Refined

Many will probably disagree.
If you scroll back this has come up before, I can't remember who won......

and as far as i know

GSi : Grand Sports Injection
GTE : Grand Touring Edition

[Tazzy]

i was told that is was these!

GTE – Gran Turismo Einspritzung (Electronic Fuel Injection)
GSi – Group Sport injection
SRi – Sports Refined injection
SR – Sports Refined
SXi and CDX – a name Vauxhall uses to sell standard cars with a few extras

i was always told that SR meant sports rally :?:

[Tazzy]

whats that - '&#8211' ?

[Ben (lurk75)]

whats that - '&#8211' ?

If you mean that about my post, as i said i was always led to believe that SR stands for sports rally?

Dont understand how that was confusing?

[wisewood]

I think he means whats the little code thing for...


That happens sometimes when you copy and paste something...

[Alex]

if you mean the funny '&#8211' its probably becasue you copied and pasted it from somewhere?

[wisewood]

Alex you too slow i beat you to it :D

[Alex]

[Ben (lurk75)]

No they dont.

[dikharvey]

they got the same gearbox as my standard 1.2, not very sporty!

[Chris LR]

Not sporty? You thrash an SR, then try saying that.

[wisewood]

Correct me if i am wrong but the standard gear box is a wide ratio box and the SR is a closer ratio box...

This has all been discussed recently in Tech Forum somewhere.

[Chris LR]

I thought it was too, but it's not, apparently.

I've never checked

[Ben (lurk75)]

ask aragon!

[srbwoy]

if u knew anything about novas then u wud know that the 1.2 has a 4 speed box and the SR has a 5 speed box unless its a sxi an thers not many of them about :evil:

[Anton]

my flair was a 1.2 with a 5 speed mate

[srbwoy]

BY THE WAY THAT REPLY WOZ 2 DIKHARVEY WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT MOTORS THATS WHY HE HAS A STANDARD 1.2! :lol:

[srbwoy]

OBVIOUSLY FITTED THEN MATE

[Chris LR]

srbwoy, many 1.2's have 5 speeds, it shows that you are the one who knows very little.

Do u think that becase he drives a low powered car he knows fcuk all?

[Ben (lurk75)]

at least djkharvey never said SR stands for sports ratio :lol:

[dikharvey]

i was saying that the SR gearbox isnt any more sporty than the one in my 1.2 i think you might have missunderstood.

[dikharvey]

By the way you are also wrong about the 1.2s having a 4 speed box. The five speed was optional on most models. Oh and just incase you were wandering what that light on the keyboard was, it means that the Caps Lock button is on. Turn it off! It's the button on the left that says "Caps Lock" on, strange that aint it.

[Chris LR]

I did mis-understand, I thought you were talking about the whole car, not it's gearbox.

srbwoy, feel like sharing some more of your wisdom?
