What is yours Kano?
Yeah N16K it was a better red than I though it would be, the owner was even telling me on the phone it wasn't perfect!? lol Cheers
Won't be driving it for a while, have a Mini to sell here before I switch insurance so will decide on the suspension after driving it for a while. Think he said it was 60s on standard shocks, so may not be the best.

Very nice car that, quite jealous but I think my insurance would be a lot on one of them, was a nice SRI 8V around here for sale that was 100% standard on 57k, wanted it badly.
They are good cars overall anyway.

Sunz my insurance is wild dear on it due to loads of different things, but after buying the car for £900 I'm not too worried. Insurance will be at least double that.
Sorry Jamie, think the Cav is worth holding onto for a while lol
Thanks for comments!

Yeah a couple of people have said that Dav but I can't get to like it at all. Have the standard backbox there and can't wait to get it on.
One of the previous owners who I know actually replaced the whole exhaust including manifold about 2 or 3 years ago, which I thought was a good selling point. Got up and the guy had cut the cat out with a grinder and stuck that backbox on!!!
Cheers folks!

Cheers for that mate, its only confused me more though sadly. Will have to a bit more searching.
Mines a K reg redtop that i saved from the scrappies. Needs a fair bit of work but not in any rush. Lowered it the other day but the fronts ridiculously low so having a bit of a head scratching. Need to find out what way the small strut top bearing sits to be sure I've put it together right.

Was about to say this myself. My cousins bloke swapped his Cavalier Turbo for an Astra 888 not long ago.
Cav Turbo's must be pretty rare now.

Jesus wept, that's bloody lovely. PLEASE keep it standard, it's way too nice to be pissed about with.
I'm genuinely very jealous of you owning that car.

This Cavalier Turbo has caused a bit of a stir over on Migweb......
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-CAVALIER-TURBO-4X4-C20LET-55K-GENUINE-MILES-11-MONTH-MOT-VERY-RARE-/170835103098?clk_rvr_id=344541807208#ht_1750wt_1154
Was relisted, but never sold, but a deposit has been taken apparently. Not sure how much it is being sold for mind you.
Oh and to the OP, nice cavvy, keep the dtm, looks good with it. Old 4 doors like this suit it.
