robah Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 When I had my Cav Coupe, I followed the build of this in the Max Power Magazine? of the late 80s. I so wanted my car to be like this but could never afford it at the time. I still like the look of it, and wonder if it is still around. I probably still couldn't afford it, and definitely don't have the space for another car.

®evo03 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Worth pulling the plate off axle, to check diff / LSD. To see whats fitted. A open diff can get sticky anf bind, along with a LSD not gripping. A word of warning, a insurance company questioned a car i own, it is declared as a c20xe, they got mixed up with the engine code within their internal systems, and thought it was a turbo engine. Why! C20 let They went on to explain, they could not and would not insure a production car that was not turbocharged as per released from manufactured. Ie a manta was never manufactured by opel with a turbo. But i did see somewhere the manta a was the first production car to be turbo. < dont know if its try or false! Good job on original wheels! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positives for moving, but I don't envy having to move, what a nightmare 😬 Going to be re-roofing my storage until this year and looks like I will need to buy a curtain wider to temp store everything, looking forwards to moving everything 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
