z22_cariad Had a dream last night about buying a vxr and putting the engine in the back, even lipo from chop shop was in it. I wonder if its been done. It would be a lot of work I know, but wouldnt it be exciting. :-D
Matt Haven't seen one with the VXR engine in the back. Have seen a project where someone had a T8 coupe and was fitting the Z28NET engine from the Vectra VXR into the rear of it.
z22_cariad T8 coupe ??? With the traction at the back I think it would be great. Momentarily 2 wheel lift off.
Matt I'd look for the thread, but apparently using the search feature on AOC breaks times the site out, and now it's just hung :confused:

Matt jason thomson said: Just read up on it on piston heads. The mark 5g tho Yeah, that wasn't an "official" Vauxhall release though. It was a Thurlby reworked 1.9 CDTI with some nice breaks / suspension / seats. The MK4 T8 is a factory Vauxhall model.
z22_cariad Looks like a skyline spoiler. So when I see cars with btcc on them are they not factory made?
Matt jason thomson said: Looks like a skyline spoiler. So when I see cars with btcc on them are they not factory made? Well there was only 100 of these ever made, and they were built by the 888 racing team to celebrate the touring car win.
z22_cariad Yeah they r nice. Not much diff to the standad 2.0 turbo tho, 10bhp more I think. Having 888 on it prob puts extra £££££££'s on it

Matt I thought Scott had some pics in his thread, but apparently not: https://z22se.co.uk/threads/my-new-888.23734/ @[deleted] - Scott, pop a pic up of the seats!
Sjdickso Pretty rare now, I looked at one years ago but was a dog, I am sure you could only get true 888 parts if you showed a V5 document for that car.
