blacksimus

Hi Everyone.

Thought I'd join back up again as I was a member on here about 5/6 years with my old sri 2.2

And now after a series of cars from scoobies to smart cars I am now back agan with a 2.2 coupe

Matt

Welcome back 🙂

HarleyPete

Welcome back nice looking car mate.

Dave_Gilbert

blacksimus

without a doubt bud. I can not believe how cheap these motors have become. This is an 02 model with 67k on the clock and I am the 2nd owner.

Dave_Gilbert

No I cant, I paid 2450 for my vectra c 4 years ago n now its worth about 700 if im lucky.

blacksimus

guessing with the demand for newer models and etc, a lot a people have forgotten how good these are.

Oh well in my opinion these are better and cheaper to maintain unlike the newer models.

Dave_Gilbert

Iv got to say that other than the 300quid road tax

and 24.9MPG I get I cant fault my vectra, its been great n just flown through its 4th mot with me so I love it. Im turbo charging mine soon aswell so will love it more soon. Get some pics of the interior up, should be mint at that mileage.

blacksimus

Will be getting some pics of the interior at the weekend once I give it a detail

evocarlos

vocky

blacksimus

Cheers guys.

First things to do are :
Debadged bonnet grille
gearshift play fix
vectra C intake mod
Clean up the body

Dave_Gilbert

Im doing the vectra c intake mod on my corsa, iv allready done it on the vectra😉

you should have a look at evocarlos build, he did some tricky stuff with his gear shift

blacksimus

Just searching the net now for the part numbers i need to do the intake mod.

Will be looking at evocarlos for some tips ;-)

HarleyPete

Not sure if this is what your looking for? Vectra C intake pipe.

blacksimus

Mate i owe you a pint. Think that is exactly what i'm looking for.
Isn't there another pipe from the airbox to throttle body or do I keep my standard one?

HarleyPete

There is but I only looked that bit up on Ebay, lol. Will have a look for the other bit.
Maybe this bit?
