    Not quiet sure if thats sarcasm from the Skii corner there...
    Always liked the Mk3 Cav, had 2 GSi's and the turbo, subtley done like this one, delocked, de badged, P1 Vectra GSi wheels, swap over my brakes, injectors and FPR, its already lowered with Koni top adjustables and has a few other minor mods but its looked after by the same guy that looks after my Cally, seeing as I get to take the bits I want off the Cally n stick them on the Cav its a bit of a no brainer really seeing as I'm doing a straight swap....

    You do now

    I think in this instance I'd take 5lab's suggestion of a nice big fast Volvo over a Cavalier

    It ened up being the 4x4 ECU on mine, Mike is currently testing a home grown locked box, by all accounts the ones from VTS are crap and will break eventually where as Mikes ones should last longer, will find out when hes done.
    The 4x4 on the Cav works but I might get Mike to lock the box from the Calibra n then fit it to the Cav at a later date when hes happy with it.

    Or maybe I've slept since then, failing that it was how long ago now, do you really think I can remember anything from back then, other than being shown how to switch off my PC part way thru a bombing run that is....

    Sounds like you've already made ur mind up matey... tho personally I think the lad is just a teeny tiny excuse for chaning from the Cally - tho I know how much you love it!
    Unless the lad is a baby then a 3 door isnt usually a problem.

    The Cav looks very tasty indeed.... and a darn site better than what Ive just acquired as my run around - Pug 306 1.9TD.
    Just make sure that whatever you do get is something that you really want and like else you'll only end up regretting it.

    The Cav wont be as fast as the Cally, m8 of mines got a CavT in a higher state of tune that this one, and technically higher than my Cally on paper but he was still impressed with the Cally when he took it out.
    Might go and see Kenny and let him drive the Cally before it goes, seeing as he owned it when it was poorly, then joel had it, then I had it off him n its got about 100bhp more now
