compared to my white one this one is showroom condition... hopefully i won't have as much hassle with this one and can concentrate on modding her rather than shelling a load out just to get her roadworthy..
just out of curiosity do any of you know if thats a classic spoiler or whether its of a summit else ie. non scoobie
-
Looks not too bad mate. Nice wee project with a good heart!
the engines a good un so no worries there and for all the body needs.... not sure about that spoiler though lol.

I bought an irish car once and had to register it with the dvla. That went down as an import.
hopefully thats what it is, **** myself thinking i'd bought a wrong un
-
Has it got a rear wiper?
Gordy
lol it hasen't, forgot all about that
just find it unusual that it would be first registered in 2002 now

Hi guys i've just bought another classic as my current one is provisionally sold,
the question i have is that the car i've bought is coming back on a check from the dvla as being a 1995 which is correct as its an m reg but according to the dvla it was first registered in 2002??
would that make it an import???
the ad for the car states it as a turbo 2000 with an sti engine transplant running approx 300 bhp.
-
Or do what i do, just disconnect the speedo altogether. 2 advantages,
1: No limiter
2: No mileage increase
jobs a goodun, 7 years on and working great...

Vectra gsi came with 197bhp iirc. Nearly bought a super touring years back.

3 litre cams not give it extra 25 bhp???
was looking at a gsi just before i got my classic and it had the 3ltr cams and k&n air filter and after mapping was apparentlt 260+

oh i know mate but unfortunately no... its to do with the way there territory is split up... if he were to go theer and the guy who does that area found out then he could lose his franchise...
-
Agreed - big respect to the man for putting something so outrageous together!
hat off to him... guy must be mental to have thought of that conversion..

Dougie Borland

How to here mate

alright guys i've spoken to my uncle (autosmart guy) about possibly coming to a meet with his lorry and he is willing to come and obviously do some special offers/deals on there products,only problem is that because of the way his territory is split he can only go to certain areas (listed below).
he has said that due to past experiences with going to meets that there needs to be a decent amount of interest, he's talking 15+ cars/owners who are interested in buying some valeting/detailing products.
he can do meets in the following areas:-
Hillington
Anywhere in Lanark
East Kilbride
I was thinking along the lines of maybe the possibility of getting a few other groups together (clan japan etc). and having a mega meet .
if anyone is interested then let me know and we will take it from there

for the vectra your probably talking 200 - 240 bhp its basically vectra gsi spec (the gsi has the same engine as the v6 vectra) just with the 3 litre cams in it... the talk of msd this and that is partly right , due to the fact that the gsi's were tuned by msd who were building vauxhalls touring cars at the time. all the guy has done really has been switch the brain over and fit th cams from a 3litre omega... nothing to really write home about.
tbh i dont think it would beat a scoob.....
i don't know the scoobie in question i just noticed it on my usual scan of swapz.... looking for a car for the missus as she's got bored of her vectra sri... and she dont like driving the scoob cos apparently the exhaust gives her a sore head..? lol
-
same plugs i've had in my past 2 scoobs and can't fault em....

this one by any chance??? www.swapz.co.uk/swapz/1093424/subaru_impreza_sti_import_/
