Unfortunately im having to sell my tigra so here goes, was originally a 1.4 16v (and still is on the logbook) and i fitted a dispak C20XE to it a few months ago.
Engine had a snapped cambelt when i got hold of it so it was stripped apart, 16 new valves fitted, skimmed and pressure tested, all valves lapped in perfectly and then all built back up with all new gaskets, new lifters, timing belt kit and waterpump. Its got an ecotec pipe and the air filters mounted down in the bumper, an aftermarket exhaust manifold and sytem which is all one piece back to the rear beam, with two centre silencers and just a straight pipe made to the rear of the car, which sounds very nice and isnt too loud. Engine pulls very well and other than one one tappy lifter its faultless.
Gearbox is an F20 but it crunches slightly into 3rd and 4th is a bit hard to find, new gearlinkage bushes and plastic rod from vauxhall.
Brakes are 288mm on the front, braided lines all round, completely new rear brakes, drums shoes and cylinders.
Suspension is gmaxx yellow shocks all round on standard springs atm but ive got a set of 40mm spax springs which i havent had time to fit, and also tca and tie bar poly bushes which i havent got round to fitting.
Inside it has astra GTE seats in very good conditon, richbrook removable steering wheel, vibe front speakers and tweeters and some FLI rear speakers. Also has remote central locking.
Wheels are two gloss black cesaros on the front and tigra pentalines on the rear all with good tyres and the car also comes with the other two pentalines in good condition with knackered tyres.
Bad points are the bodywork needs quite a bit of attention, for some reason the engines got one lifter which taps constantly, i was hoping this would clear but it hasnt, and the gearbox.
