Re: 1994 Saloon Cav

It did and it didn't... (Eye catch the power steering). I saw the powered rack still fitted with it's rigid pipework, but totally failed to notice the missing reservoir. Inside the glove-box? A popular place to move the ABS unit if it isn't totally deleted. A good meaty battery for the Cavalier - t...

Re: 1994 Saloon Cav

10/4/21 Update Now that the 17" Momo Arrows have their new tyres on, all that was needed was a set of fresh centre caps to finish them off. So got these put on earlier and slicked the tyres awaiting the cav which is getting a full stage polish by a mate at this moment. https://i.ibb.co/MMXXgmL/...

Hi all, Ive been doing a bit of reading on the C20NE and C20XE engines. The blocks are meant to be the same. For power would i be better off using my low mileage C20NE block and fitting a redtop head to it? Are the looms different? The ECUs will be different im sure. Then XE intake manifold. Gearbox...

Re: Cavalier saab conversation help needed

The B204 engine that comes with the saab box FM55-501 uses cable and would be a good strong box also easier to fit. Should all go strsight in cav from what ive read before.

Re: 1994 Saloon Cav

Thanks lads!
Ah im not sure what to do. The V6 lump is really good in my opinion. Really makes a cavalier shift AND its n/a :)

I would however want to keep the 4 studs. I shall see. If Ian wants to sell me his V6 hatch it would be a great swap indeed as all is there needed to do it.

Months went past anywa...
