End of an era :-(

Well the blak(ish) SRi has finally given up on me :cry:. All still runs fine but its the chassis which has let it down, the passenger side inner wing has collapsed and the suspension turret seam has all split. Just been to get a 1.2SXi as a run around, its pretty good actually full GSi kit, lowered 60mm, smooth boot, SRi intereior but its soooo slow! Seems to take about ten mins to reach 70! Anyway i had to laugh when i looked under the bonnet to find a corsa airbox on it with a....wait for it.... MAX POWER induction kit :lol:
Im already missing my black one, everyone sed it was s**t and i know it was but i had grown attached to it lol. Thats 3 now that are at me grans, she getting very annoyed.
Pics...eventually

no chance of welding it up?

Surely you can get a new panel or two - shouldnt be that expensive.

Might the SRi engine not just happen to fall into the SXi? :wink:

[hendrix]

ade i think its beyond repair, ill try get some pics up later. its annoying cuz i still got a months tax (too late to cash in) and 6months mot on it :roll: . i dont think ill bother repairing it cuz the paint work is shabby
razorjack i think somehow the SRi engine will just happen to somehow be in the SXi soon :wink:

come on andy get your bottom into gear now and get engine , tank and full loom from the black on and put it into the sxi a weekenf job for you there mate :lol:

[hendrix]

To be honest i havent got the time or energy to even be bothered to do it. Everything is on offer now in forsale section.
just been gettin moaned at by mum and gran about havin too much stuff now so i need shot asap. I wanna put the engine and everything in the SXi but not got no gear to do it, if some1 can do it cheap for me i may be interested.
Fancy comin over one weekend riggy :wink:

[Riggy]

get them both up here and i will do it :lol:

[hendrix]

ill have to see mate but that seems like a plan to me, if theyve not sold in a couple of weeks ill bring them both across or something
cheers mate

[Barn]

shame your so far away, would have had both of em off ya

[Aragorn]

dont bother changing the tank - thats a whole extra lot of ballache u dont need

fit an MPI intank pump from a mpi astra or corsa or cav to the 1.2i tank, will cost u a tenner and will drop streight in

[epo]

you fucking lazy student bum lol

[hendrix]

shut it phillip!
Been thinking about what aragon said about the mpi fuel pump out an astra etc but was wondering about a swirl pot?? is it necessary or anything and are the fuel lines up to delivering the pressure needed? Anyway basically i think im gonna take the engine out the black one and then eventually transplant (with some help :wink: ) into the SXi possibly even put in the GTE engine i have. Would it be easier just to put the engine on to the box thats in the SXi or would i have poo performance out of the SRi engine
Missing the black one even more now, the SXi is soooo slow and uses more fuel than the SRi cuz i keep having to boot it everywhere to compensate for the slowness!
