Vectra B Mods

macerena

Hello to you all,
Just have car back on the road for a month now following front line duties and have been looking to see if i could find mods pertaining to the Vectra B model.
I have spent quite a few hours trawling through the index & other pages but am finding it a bit long winded. I was wondering if any of you fellow members had links or could point me towards links or stickies re modding the car or was there a ''By type'' index. What this would mean is particular Vectra B mods, eg air filter and intake mods as well as suspension, etc.
Also on strictly off topic point, my car runs on LPG and am averaging 34Mpg @ 72ppl 😃 at the mo & was wondering if the newer type wheels fitted to the ''Ecotec'' Vx's would increase my mpg. notsure.gif
Prob not what most of you are after with the Z22SE engine and the likes but thought i would ask,
Anyway hope someone can help point me in the right direction anyway,
many thanks,
Andy

Hi there Drakey,
Finally finished off the Front line draft last month so now playing catchup with things. Glad to get off as i would be single if it went on for much longer with the amount of time away from home. Definately is a novelty being back and knowing you can plan more than a month or so compared to when i was on. I'm getting to old for all the extra crap that you get and them always saying, "cheers for working hard there lads but you now need to work even harder next term as we are going to be away even more and working with less support, so remain flexible and ready to go away at very short notice" line. Everyone in the house dreaded it when i came home with an update of the way ahead so now a happy bunny as it has all finished and i can look forwards to quality time with family 😃 .
Trying to get most MPG now due to the mad price of fuel so thought i would see what the fine people on here had as a way forwards. Needing to do some more suspension work due to the car not really being driven properly for almost 2.5 years.
Back end is a tad loose and wallowy??? and knocking as well and the front is not to much better so looking for possibly the powerflex option very shortly. As you know the suspension has been lowered with the Gmax kit i got off you so it should stick to the road well enough instead of being very interesting at times on corners.
The wheels are still standard alloys for the CDX but again thinking that i may be able to squeeze a few more MPG out of her if i go down the eco wheels/tyres route although i do realise that most people on here are after power primarily, without the economy
Had thought about changing it when i got back but after looking at what was available for the price and what i would get in terms of MPG and depreciation the vectra looked the better option even with the work that will be needed in the short term.
Don't mind getting my hands dirty with cars as i then know what has been done to them.
Speak to you later and hope some other user's can advise me,
cheers,
Andy
