Re: My 1993 SRi XE hatch Satin red
Mmmm, Vexorg seems familiar from the old days :) Yes it was difficult but I just don't have the time and energy and it needed lots of work, if I was 20 years younger I'd still have it but those days are gone.. My son has been driving Cavs for 30 years si its in good hands, still my car tho. I don't ...

Re: My 1993 SRi XE hatch Satin red
I bought another last summer, a 91 2.0 GL 60k miles also Satin Red. My son uses it.
The SRi with its XE is a different kettle of fish but at 148k miles it had hit the time when it needed serious work and I'm too old for that now. So off it went to someone who would make it theirs.

Re: My 1993 SRi XE hatch Satin red
An era in my life has ended. Having bought it on my birthday in 2006 it has now gone after 70k very satisfying miles.

My 1993 SRi XE hatch Satin red
Given the date I bought it in 2006 and the date I joined the forum this post might be regarded as a bit overdue. :lol: It had 78k miles and cost me a mind blowing £325 as it had a cracked (otherwise known incorrectly as porous) cylinder head. So I got down and investigated and decided I could do it ...

Re: Tyres and Availability
My Mk3 SRi on 15" slabs runs on Conti winters all year, my 'new' GLi has random summers again on Cesaros, whilst my Mk2 Cav CD with SEH etc runs on CrossClimate+ all year. With my collection of wheels I am moving towards all year tyres always on the back and then summer or winter as per season ...

Re: Installing Fuel lines
I've been using 8mm unflared microbore for it seems like forever and not had a problem yet using single decent petrol clips. Touch wood.
There is a 7.8mm I/D R9 hose which should fit easier.

Rave from the grave
Blast from the past here, first post in 10 years, must be some kind of record :) Still got a couple of Mk3s,an XE SRi and a CDi, as well as my Mk2 and Calibra. I'm the VBOA rep for Mk2 Cav so most of my effort goes in that direction. I can't put any ads up here as my post count is so low but, like a...

Is the 1.8MPi engine destined for this car?
