Whats the difference between the saloon and hatch model,im asking because i saw stanlys new motor the blue cav for £115 quid (jealous much)lol and now im contomplating to get one

[L14MNP]

What exactly do you mean?

One's a saloon, so has a tiny boot and the rear glass is fixed - looks much better.
Other is a hatch and the rear glass lifts with the boot and you can actually put things in th eboot.

Saloon FTW (in almost every car)

[Bubba]

to be exact 2 1/2 inches in length.

that 2.5 inches makes all the difference :D

GSI2000 (89-93) came only in loon, Turbo (93-94 i think) came only in loon.

16v sri(+93) (xe) was more common in hatch although a few loons still knock about


*i think they are the dates

[Aragorn]

the GSi and turbo also had completely different rear suspension.

[Bubba]

irs not beam :)

some gsi's had a rear diff slapped in the rear setup as well :P

[vauxboi]

so what one is stans then, is there any visual differences

[Spudly]

Stans is a hatchback and you can clearly see the differences between the two bodystyles.................

i have personally found trying to find a saloon rather hard. unless its a turbo (expensive) or a gsi (still rather expensive)


i will find me nother one though :D

tiny boot


You could kill Baxter and stick him in the boot of one of those bastids, and still have room for all your rope, duct tape and shovels!

Really? Thats all? Yoiks. Looks a lot more.

At least with Novas, you get an extra 12" on the back in the saloon version.

I mean the aperture. My bad. No disputing that though. lol

[rednova]

ive got a saloon but would have either - only other difference is the headlining / roof is shorter on a saloon ( as i found out after struggling to fit my new headlining lol)

Noooo, dont do it, GSi bumpers on hatches are gheyer than fitting a GTE bumper to a nova saloon :tard:
