MANTAMAN Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 this is quality work, i am impressed by how neatly you have solved the engine mount / turbo position problem. I am right that is Monaco blue paint? anyway that shade of blue will really suit a MK 1 Cavalier and i like the retention of the chrome bumpers, it will be a bit of a 'sleeper' I would love to see the look on the face of young chav in his hot hatch when this Cavalier blows him into the weeds !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

®evo03 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Woo.... something new, fresh ideas. Excellent work there mate, top notch. Great thinking using 200sx setup. Did the xe flange need modding? To suit manifold. Any brake setups in mind, or lsd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooie811 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Cheers man not really the manifold went straight on to flange with a few tweaks to line it up im running a qauife atb lsd 4:6:1 final drive with a steel torque tube . The front brakes are calibra turbo setup with drilled and grooved discs and good ridge hoses. the rear are mk 4 Astra disc setup will get more pics of these up soon when they are all plumbed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
