Negative on numpty, the 1.8 is a ridiculous excuse for an engine lol

Cavs FTW though. Especially saloons!

The more I look at Cavs, the more I likes them lol although a Mk2 hatch SRi would be cool as feck

mk3 cav ftw. leaving out 1.8 engine ftl.

seriously trying to get as much of the 90bhp out of the fecker as often as possible is just brilliant. slightly scary on the motorway mind...

[hendrix]

dont forget the 1.6...and the ever popular 1.4!

[Jack]

I don't think I've ever seen a 1.4 in a cav, did anyone actually buy them?! lol

Knowing how crap my ex's 1.8 Cesaro was - my 1.2 Nova would run rings round it - the 1.4 must have been as quick and economical as a dead badger

[Andy]

1400 cavs were absolutely gutless

[hendrix]

aren't they same as the 1.4 carb nova sr lump? I'm sure thats what they look like when I found one in the breakers

[brainsnova]

The 1400 cav was like driving with the hand brake on a few clicks lol

[scott.parker]

When i was 19 at college a mate had a 1.4 cav, he was obsessed with cav's he had 4-5 1.4's lol and my 1.1 giha fiesta use to piss all over it! lol lol

[ben doodar]

i had a 1.8 cav for a year, pretty slow but reliable. It was great, burgundy and rusty coloured! We used to go 5 up urbun exploring in it every weekend we all loved it the poor mans rolls royce lol! I sold it to my mates old man and he's been using it to go market drayton in every day since.
