Hope you don't have 'hump in the middle' speed bumps round you.

[stevemc]

most roads in the area have them ,my cabby hits a few of them  ,and that's only on 40mm without the intercooler  ;D

[Biz]

Looks really good on those wheels, nice stance too

[lau666]

thanks guys this pick was is a little outdated now the intercooler is now just below the number plate an and I've removed the lower splitter which will be on ebay in the next few hours along with the original wheels it had on it

I've painted the section below the bumper a gloss black looks a lot more purposeful now

I've also just ordered some gaz adjustable shocks and custom springs to go on her so she should handle like she's on rails

just gotta wait now

ill get some more pics up as soon as I've finished detailing  ;D

yeah I've searched the whole forum and read up on the cars history tbh i bought the car knowing that the last owner abused it abit my main intention is to get it to a good spec and make it a fast well looked after motor that different to the usual things you see on the road

Welcome to the site. Nice to know there's another MK2 Cavalier local.

[Jonny]

I know the feeling fella its nice to put your own stamp on a car,

Out of interest where did you order you custom springs from?

[lau666]

ive ordered custom shocks and springs from gaz shocks in basildon they take about 3 weeks to make

Welcome to the site. Nice to know there's another MK2 Cavalier local.

never realized you was local ,always thought it was just me,newbody,storming

[Glenn-130]

Nice to see that Cav is still about and getting some TLC. It used to be fairly local to me (Fife) and I saw it out and about only a few weeks ago when the previous owner still had it.

Sadly, the lad who owned it, Adam, passed away a couple of weeks ago after a serious accident in his Nova.

[lau666]

yeah I feel really bad about adam such a shame was a good lad I found out about what happened a few days later

[lau666]

couple of up to date pics of the car

hope you like it

Born and bred East End!

I'm the only one around here with a Calibre as far as I'm aware.

Back on topic. What do the Mk2 cavalier handle like with  a LET?
