5M1THY

vxr bumpers are the one but expensive

Dave_Gilbert

I think xpack 2 n vxr are the same on the rear

5M1THY

ah cool that's a nice bumper

Dave_Gilbert

Yeh id love 1 but there not cheap n then I would need the xpack skirts and then a facelift front end with xpack front bumper and vxr grill but then we are talking telephone numbers for all that.

Dave_Gilbert

got this lot being collected tomorrow, should get the loom on the car by saturday if all goes to plan, then I can play with the ecu (hopefull

Dave_Gilbert

Just had a look at the vectra, got it started(first time in about 3 weeks)

Fitted my new rear seats with cup holders.

n had a look in the engine bay trying to weigh everything up.

ignore the rust but look at all the room inbetween the rad and aircon, so theres room in all vectra c's for the intercooler, never knew.......

David_Dixon

looks like you getting everything you need dave, I'm keeping an eye on how its going.... it's an interesting one this ;-)

Dave_Gilbert

Just bought a intercooler to throttle body pipe off ebay, £18.50 fucking robbing bastards.

so im hopeing I only need gaskets and the new oil n water pipes that need modifications then its just bolt it all together n remap.

Its just a Standard SRi rear bumper with the two parts added. The VXR insert/diffuser just clips in instead of the stock SRi insert and is about £45-£50 new from the dealer and come in primer. (the ebay black ones are copys in fibreglass and work out more expensive) The expensive bit is the VXR/XP skirt, again that fits over the stock rear SRi bumper, its clipped in at the wheel arch but then bonded on (tiger seal) along the full length. The best and rarest upgrade is the 888 insert, it only came as standard on the btcc homologation cars which was actually a 2.0T z20net. Its similar to the VXR inset but has deaper fins and goes right under the car and sits flush with the spare wheel well. VXR's dont even come with this part.

Xpack 1 and 2 are the same at the rear, they have the skirt but have an SRi insert. Only the VXR has both insert and skirt.

888 insert

VXR insert

Dave_Gilbert

Uuuuuu giz that 888 all day. But would need the xpack/vxr splitter aswell?

Dave_Gilbert

First time iv looked at mine so im glad I can still use my aircon rad etc and I dont have to disconnect it so I dont have to regas that either..... happy days

You can fit the VXR insert without the skirt. I had one before the Irmscher Quads.

Not my car, just a google grab. I sprayed mine in satin black.

Dave_Gilbert

That looks really nice, I think a really high gloss black would look really nice but then I would need a new exhaust aswell.

Dave_Gilbert

Might look into the vxr insert but do abit of modification on it to make it single exit and paint gloss black and colour code the chrome strip on the boot and fit my new vxr rear spoiler on the boot would look sweeeeet

rushy

Re the rad pack, the Z20NET, CDTi and VXR all use the same rad pack (water rad, intercooler and air con rad) so you could just drop a rad pack in from any Turbo'd car into your Z22NET with no real probs.

Just to give you an idea of gloss black (this is the ebay copy one)

Dave_Gilbert

I have the rad pack out the net car but was gonna choose the best looking aircon rad n radiator and sandwich the intercooler. N its gonna be a Z22SET actually hahaha. N I will habe to think about the diffuser some more I like colour coded but gloss black lools nice, could do with 2 sat next to each other on cars.

PowR_Remap

The diffuser would look good in a light gunmetal colour I think, too much black will make it stand out like a sore thumb, subtle colours I think.

Dave_Gilbert

Yeh like a slightly darker silver or a lighter gunmetal than my wheels maybe
