The new car. (Vectra) :)

[NovaLad]

Went and got this the other day and i love it!

Since i sold the nova i've been driving my dads new Zafira passion wagon so i thought it would be time to get a new car of my own to ponder around in.

Came with the following...

Full tax/m.o.t
70k
Irmscher grill
All standard SRi interior and exterior. (Nice enough) Trip computer, cruise control etc...
Tints (Not chavvy ones)
Had a few new parts in bay... E.G.- belts.
SICK NURBURGRING sticker (which i'm keeping lol...call me a homo i don't care :p )

Bad points -
Usually motorway miles scratches and chips.
Needs new headlight because one has condensation inside.


Here's a few pics from today.

Loving this on a short trip over the motorway!

No plans as of yet other than to keep it clean and tidy and pretty much standard.

Surprisingly to me it gets alot of looks for a standard motor.

What you think.

P.S don't want haters commenting about the pumps or the bushes or the DMF etc...

YOU'VE TOLD ME! :thumb:

Good cars these :) get yourself some VXR body parts though :)

[Nova_Sean]

you probably get loads of looks cos people think its a copper! lol!

[Keif]

Nice, HUGE pics tho.

You don't need a new headlight, just dry the old one out.

Easy way. Get dome silica Gel packs and tape them to the inside of the bulb cover.

Better (but harder) way. Front bumper off headlight out (bulb covers off and bulbs out) then stuck it in the oven (about 70degs for 15mins)

[General Baxter]

ill give you £250 next month, lol

when the 'thingy' happens, and its worth scrap lol

[NOVA saloon]

I didn't notice how big i uploaded them at till after i had posted them and can't be a55ed to change them.

I tried to dry it out today with a hair dryer and it did naff all over than probably ruin the light casing even more lol.

If you want to come do it for me then their is a beer in it for you lol

Daul Mass Flywheel Spudders.

People say you might aswell scrap the car once the DMF goes, why I dont know as you can convert them to conventional fly for about £250 :S

[mk1nova_rich]

Looks a good purchase :)

[NovaLad]

Cheers for the positive replies Mike lol.

Anyone know of any cheap and cheerful mods for these?

Not O.T.T

Ahhhh cheers bud, not up on all this new fangled technology malarky lol




But whats the pumps and bushes, bearing in mind ive just bought the newest car ive ever owned which is an '03 reg:eek:

[Keif]

CAnyone know of any cheap and cheerful mods for these?

What styling? Performance? or OE+ mods.

There are a few cheap mods to fit options.

Traction Control button - you'll need to check the wiring is in place. then it may not work anyway.

Heated Washer Jets - God send in the winter, If you have a unused wiring connector next to your pollen filter, it's just plug and play.

Both mods are around £20 each.

There's plenty of others to go at, just depends what you want to do.

the one on the pug went spud remember,
they wanted nearly £900 to fit me a new one,
in the end i went for a soilid fly wheel conversion lol



and spud, just think vectra fuel pump problems, there all the same lol

[Jack]

But whats the pumps and bushes, bearing in mind ive just bought the newest car ive ever owned which is an '03 reg:eek:
Suspension bushes and fuel pump - modern common rail or direct injection diesels have very high pressure fuel pumps, which are a bit sensitive to any crud from the tank. If they bung up or break, they can be expensive to replace. Your asstra is a petrol isn't it? So no worries on that front.

was looking at these myself mate as i think they look pretty tidy
but so many people told me about the problems it knocked me of a little

so we went for a astra estate cdti but very underpowered compared to those veccys
