My new car

[ins0mn1ac]

Going into this from what i am used to driving, it feels awesome.!
Both my old cars slammed to the ground on coilovers, one a 1998 saxo with 111k eekon the clock, and my corsa with the head gasket, engine mounts, driveshafts and piston rings needing done

Bet you've already priced up an Irmscher grille?

Enjoy

My Vectra Estate just had 3 new tyres today and drives quite well now!!

One thing I hate about mine is the headlights, seem so dim when driving at night, think I may invest in some new bulbs.

And i'd get another tyre if I were you.

Bargain! Although I think you should have got one in black so people think you're the police

 

[Fr0dders]

3 tyres?

 

[Janesy B]

Why would you buy three new tyres? What an utterly bizarre thing to do.

Yes, backbox, alloys, go-faster stripes, spoiler and a massive sub for the boot. lol

Those days are long gone

He did buy a Vectra.

Car snobbery from a Civic owner. Just, lol.

I can't be bothered spending the rest of my life trying to make people care about cars, it's boring. He's got a Vectra and we'll have to deal with that. The fact he bought 3 new tyres however annoys me a lot more

3 only needed replacing, (both fronts and one rear) one still had plenty of of tread.

Which means for the past x months you've been running one new tyre and three worn ones .

I'm wondering how only one rear tyre needed replacing when they were both changed early last year (2mm & 5mm tread depth)

Must be those hanbrake turns

But but but. Never mind.

Happy motoring.

You defo sure its an SRi?

Doesnt look like an SRi.

Doesnt have dark headlights, looks to have wrong wheels and has the incorrect sideskirts for an SRi.

Do you have any better photos?

 

[[TW]Fox]

It's not an SRi, it's an Exclusiv. This was the base model wasn't it? I guess that explains why it was £5k.

Another vectra owner there are two of us now....

 

[Rizo-UK]

Cheers guys.
Its the 1.8 SRI 120BHP.

FAIL!

I owned one for 4 years before i got my Astra SRi Turbo, they are very good cars and stand up well with a 40ton rear impact

It is IMPOSSIBLE to have more win......IMPOSSIBLE!

The Exclusive was the next one up from the Life model, my estate is the Exclusive.

Got the brochure in frnt of my now.
Come with a few extras like body colored handles, interior map reading lights and chrome surround on the windows.

 

[MOOGLEYS]

I,m wrong it looks like there are 3 of us..

The cambelt on these is every 60k or 6 years. Vauxhall ammended the interval after a few early breakages...

From my TIS...

Every 60,000 miles, or 6 years whichever comes soonest for the Z18XE engine.
