How do the Vectra's drive?  Never had one before but thought about it a few times, might make a good daily alongside the Cavalier and Nova. 

 

The GSI's where like they where on rails, handled superb, also had a Supertouring V6 great motors, when I went to Vectra C I was doing lots of miles for work so went diesel, 2.2dti Sri C was great, the 1.9CDTI was a peice of Sh*t, 3.0CDTi was excellent had a gang of BMW's after that and an Audi

Wow,  swirl, welcome back fella, how the hell are you?

Hi Chris how you doing Pal, many years riding bikes, had a big smash a few years ago, thinking of moving a couple of bike projects on and my Chevy Astro van, maybe get back in a Cav. A Calibre would be my goal but understandably they are few and far between having scrapped 2 myself, so a 130 saloon project maybe a consideration, E21YND had a LET conversion, I think throwing a V6 in one maybe nice, so a saloon of any sort could do.

Well been away from the fold for a long time, previously had a couple of Calibres E21YND and E150YNB both long gone, a few 130's a couple of SRI's a Convertible C800BJT more Mk3's than I can recall, 20+ Vectra's, just reminiscing and wondering how much it would cost me to get my portly backside back in a Mk2, Calibre/130/SRI/Saloon. Wonder who is here I remember. Tahir? Rabbit?

Some off my old motors below, all long gone.

Wasnt there a rotted out club on a drive way was it cornwall the picture was old thou if i remember 

Have you tried the resident calibre guru Tahir he maybe able to help, what the reg numbers of your 3 calibres see if anyone has any history

Dave ive a 04 plate Ssangyong Rexton 290, same engine as the musso, slow but will pull 3.5t great to drive 28mpg and if ye want to will run on straight veg oil, i pull me 1900kg hobby 650 with it does the job perfect, leather climate control all that lark, you can pick them up quite reasonable now, would recommend one to anyone, not the later 2.7 thou to many electrical gremilins, 2.9 7 seat veg bus allday 

check this out i love ascona b's, if i had the space i'd have this
