My '93 Cav Gsi Rep

[Peanut_119]

after the large amount of interest and the rep i received after asking for a photoshop, i've decided to do a wip on the cav

first off i saw her sat on a drive in 2009 looking sorry for herself :(

tbh id ling a gsi spoiler on it. and colour code the mirros...other than that i call that perfection :p

[Peanut_119]

thanks :D
i need to colour code the mirrors, fit the headlight wipers, find actual gsi rear lights, and a big brake upgrade is needed.

theres a few other things i want to do aswell but there just being picky lol

[pie]

love it :)

shame they never made a red gsi as it looks sweet :)

[gary_126]

Really nice!! What colour did you choose for the wheels in the end? Silver or anthracite/grey gets my vote.

[Peanut_119]

i aint done them yet, there still silver, the black set on the earlier pictures are another set that i have got

[gazz]

done well bud.:thumb:

as said above gsi rear spoiler would set off well.
but other than that good job.
i miss my gsi.. :cry:

[Peanut_119]

can any1 tell me what the spoiler is that ive got on now?? some people say its irmscher and other say its a optional extra on the turbo's.

[pie]

its turbo spoiler optional extra as you says as the lower turbo boot spoiler will have cut outs for the legs on you spoiler

[Peanut_119]

yea it has 3 cut outs and comes off in two separate parts. thanks pie atleast i no now :D

[Nobby]

looks good mate

[dc1984]

[rednova]

can any1 tell me what the spoiler is that ive got on now?? some people say its irmscher and other say its a optional extra on the turbo's.


its an optional irmscher 2 piece spoiler bud I had one on mine, sometimes you see them without the lower section fitted too.

hth Phil

[Peanut_119]

thanks :D

small update, ive fitted cup holders and headlight washers this week i will upload pictures later

[NOV4_SPORT]

That cav is well smart buddy, keep up the good work, its quite rare to see phase1 vectra gsi wheels, made by "ats" in four stud, they really suit the car mate.

[Peanut_119]

thanks, i just need to sort out all the little problems on it, she aint perfect but i'm aim'in to get her as good/clean as i possibly can.

i service the engine every 2.5k miles aswell just need to get the bodywork sorted :D

[rednova]

have you fitted a vec b armrest? - one of the best mods I did.

[Peanut_119]

thats next on my to-do list :D

[rednova]

if you need any little bits ive still got some stuff left from when I had mine, oil/volt guages and matching clocks etc ;) oh the ebay gaitors are actually spot on for the price and clean the interior up no end too if yours are worn!

[Peanut_119]

its little stupid stuff i need like a o.s.r central locking ram/motor/solenoid (whatever you call it) lol. i was goin to fit the rear electric windows but its too much hassle for so little gain

[pie]

get some pics dude

what cupholders did you fit? the rear bench one like turbo dan?

[Peanut_119]

the vectra b cupholders that are in the dash, i fitting them were the vault gauges should go,

i have a picture but there not finished yet

http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv237/Peanut_119/230220121546.jpg

and now it looks like this...
http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv237/Peanut_119/260220121561.jpg

i have also fitted new angel eyes, hid's and made the wipers fit properly :D (pictures later)

[Jack]

Angel eyes as in the proper projector lenses?

[Peanut_119]

yea, its so the HID's comply with new MOT rules

[Jack]

How does that make them comply? lol as long as the beam pattern is OK (and your wipers work!) you'll be fine.

Be interesting to see the beam pattern though, as I considered a set of the projectors for a while...

[Peanut_119]

the beam pattern is alot better with the projectors, i fitted them to the morretes and the beam was ok but with the projectors its as it should be.

i will upload pictures of the lights and beam pattern if you want me to

lol

[Peanut_119]

No pictures but I've now fitted the vec armrest, door lights and the omega variable wiper stalk.

Next on the to do list is,
find standard sfi box and air box,
i would like v6 brakes
And maybe fit freeview tv into it.
