Woke up my cav today (caution pictures of cav neglect inside)

[Spudly]

After many months of neglect since ive had my nova on the road i thought it best to dig her out and fire her up, freshly charged batter last week and she fired first go, handbrake cable is sticking where it goes through the runner on the beam so after freeing off the rear wheels and got her rolling i decided i best bath her as she has been uncovered and under trees for months............


She still needs to go to my work and have a good steam clean but i got the thick (quite literally) of it off, and wouldnt mind seeing if i could sweet talk a certain person who drives a sexy black golf into giving her a mop pver for me too lol

Anyways enough drivel, shocking neglect pictures, some pictures of the abuse of my cav may be distressing so viewer caution is advised lol

She still needs some tlc, spoiler needs bonding back on and she needs a new alternator as the regulator on then new one fitted doesnt work, and she needs a bit of touch up tlc then its a trip to baxter to let him fiddle with my fuel and boost which i really cannot wait for:thumb:

[General Baxter]

sell it lol

[Spudly]

sell it lol


Not a chance sunbeam:p

[napalm_27]

i grabbed the headlight protectors off the cav before it went mate
but one has a slight crack in it :(

[Spudly]

Ahh, fecking typical, ive got some nova ones with a crack in one of them, its now turned into a seperate piece as it parted company so ive had to take em off:cry:

[General Baxter]

spud, sell it cheap, you seem to have a big hole in the roof

[Nick J]

Sell it...... you could then buy a certain Gte! lol

Revenge! :)

[Plug]

car covers FTW :thumb:

[napalm_27]

i think i can save it with abit of glue to stop it going any further :thumb:

[Nobby]

wanna swap for the belmont?

[Spudly]

Nick you nasty man, that gte aint for sale anymore lol


Besides id never get back how much ive sunk into the cav so its really not worth me selling, plus i dont think i could actually bring myself to do it in all fairness!

[General Baxter]

it might not have a roof if you bring it down here :p

[Spudly]

Im gonna park round the corner then snip the plugs off all your grinders before i bring the cav to yours nick so ner ner:p

[Brettski]

Not a chance sunbeam:p

you tell him dude derv cavs are for winners :thumb:

still looking sweet dude try not to neglect her to much thow even cavs need loveing too lol

[Spudly]

i might need one to fit the intercooler lol


Hmm good point, ill just keep a very wary eye on you then lol


Btw what else do i need, ive got a decent length of boost pipe with the intercooler so thats possibly one side sorted, bleed valve?

And boost guage and thats it aint it, unless there are any n/a 1.7 izuzu's in scrappy near you?


you tell him dude derv cavs are for winners :thumb:

still looking sweet dude try not to neglect her to much thow even cavs need loveing too lol

Well i figured i needed to pull my finger out after you posted those pornographic images of your cav the other day lol

[General Baxter]

if you set the intercooler up before you drive it down here, then i wont have to play with it lol

[Spudly]

Na ill just hoy it all in the boot and bring it with, ill just have to suprevise you with the grinder though, lol
Two pairs of hands are always better than one for removal and refitting of the bumper tbh!

i just dont want to srtat fitting it, and finding out we dont have enough pipes lol

[Spudly]

Thats why i asked you what else ill need on my shopping list you plum lol

[General Baxter]

PIPES loads of pipes and connectors,

boost gauge, T piece, bleed valve

[Spudly]

Something like this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-TURBO-INTERCOOLER-PIPE-PIPING-DIY-KIT-76MM-BLUE_W0QQitemZ350208660173QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Ca rsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item518a1012cd&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C 301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50) be good enough?

[General Baxter]

no there crap, they blow to bits over 1bar lol

[Spudly]

How much you planning on upping the boost to ya mad bugger, dont forget its gonna be my daily driver, also what kind of bleed valve do i need as there are loads of differing types two or three pipe jobbies and will any boost guage be sufficient or does it have to be a diesel specific one?

boost gauge 30psi one,
just go raid your scrappy for loads of intake pipes,
just a bypass bleed valve

[mikey14sr]

Bleed valve = t piece in vacumn hose with a carb jet (drilled to suit bleed required) attatched to the output.

Known people have 200sx's run double standard boost reliably for at least 2 years using that method.

[Martin]

spud how cud you...

[sulphur]

That cav is uber lush! :thumb:

[Sloth]

needs a cdti 1.9 888 astra lump....

[NOVA-KID-93]

Cavs looking mint mate, good job getting it clean again :thumb:

[dj_wudgey]

jesus mate you did neglect her eh!! looks good again spud but you know you need a let in there!!

[Spudly]

Yeah but i cba with the work that would be entailed to do it though, new chassis leg mount plus all fuel lines and wiring loom as i dont think a mechanical diesel loom would be the best to try and wire a let into, and she has a cat1 alarm id have to rip out and re-install if i swapped the looms over, rather keep her as cheapy derv and up the boost lol
