Winter plans?

I don't know anything about senators, he implyed they were different so I stated I would prefer the gsi 3000 24v.

I was talking about the 3.0 v6 and for your information it has been done in mk3 and mk2 astras and also used in a rwd turbo'd cavalier, I can provide links to all of them if you wish. And there is only one way to find out information to be able to "know what the f*ck I am talking about" and that is to "do it", some times I wonder why I post on a "modifications" group where nearly everyone seems to own cars which arn't modified, and just talk s*it?

I thought he was refering to the 3.0 v6.

hey take that back! i have a momo wheel :)

any dropping the engine off the mounts for timing belt changes gen :)

had one a few years back lovely 5 door un great fun and quicker than my 8v astra gte i had at the time too :)

Yep. That's why they now have the 1.9 alfa / fiat engine instead - very very nippy.

Yeah, like Bollox my cars have never been modified. Estelle: Alloys, lower profile tyres, adjustable shocks, modified interior using Mountney, S-Racing, OMP, and Tim components and Celica front seats with rapid rears, uprated brake pads, bigger carb, K&N and Exhaust system. Favorit: Coilovers, air filter, wider tyres, Cobra buckets, CD player, custom kickpods and a stealth shelf with 7x10's, S-Racing X3 wheel and other accessories, Sebring Back box. Saab: Air filter, custom CAI, tweaked APC, adjustable shocks, CD payer and uprated speakers in the factory fit size, and the first and second generation CarPC. Celica: Simota cone filter, SARD dump valve, removed bonnet sound deadening to save weight and increase heat escape, removed engine undertray to allow more cooler air under the oil pan, have bought an IC form an FMIC install (just need to sort pipe work), assembling parts for the generation 3 CarPC, looking for a 3 pod gauge holder to put in a proper boost gauge, AF gauge, and oil pressure gauge. Will be decatting and replacing the system with a larger bore stainless one within the next year.

Them modified enough for you?

Yea well, i'm putting a twin supercharged 3.0 24v GSI 3000 engine into the back of my Nova. And its having 4wd. So there :p

Hmm, that would actually go quite well :D

This one's £255 -

Hmmmm, i wonder what i've been doing today then!

hehe I said "nearly", your car is sexy enough without any mods man :)

Who is sucking whose knob now? (c:

Douglas

I really don't know what you mean *wipes his mouth* :P

There arn't many cars, that people on this group own that I actually like. Vamps is one of the few.

I might as well join in here...

Oh, and there's a Capri cylinder head in the boot of the Mercedes which I'm going to start work on tomorrow..

Of course we don't modify stuff in here, we just talk about it...

Why modify when you can own a Daewoo with a set of alloys?

Times that by 4, and you'll be in the right ball park.

Should of stuck a "some of" infront of "you" :P

o_0 they do say we live in a consumer society!

I passed my test 16 years ago...

Aye, I'm in the 100+ club...

Your only 4?

I used to get very bored, very easily.

Now... I still like to window shop so to speak, but I'm quite happy with my Golf - it's pretty unbeatable as an allround package with sensible running costs... and I'm going to look at a Mk4 one tomorrow, with a view to keeping both.

Mentally, perhaps... ;-)
