My Cav turbo's progress thread

[Gray16v]

Glad you are keeping her, you have put alot of time and effort in, it looks great

[TurboDan]

Well its the end of an era! Nearly 4 years of ownership, loads of mods done but now its gone.

I had a text this morning off a lad saying hes on his way to look at it which i wasnt expecting. So i gave it a quick wash and then they arrived. They had a right good look at it and a deal was done.

Its gone to a good home and the guys gonna carry on with it and make it even better. I did tell him to sign up to the site so hopefully he will.

I'll leave the thread open for anyone wanting to ask about any mods done.

Felt quite sad when it drove off but time for a change, New year New car!

[gsi pie]

bad times

always liked reading your build thread dan,

was one of my favorite cavs tbh

[TurboDan]

At least it didnt end up getting broken for bits. It will live on.

Hopefully the other bloke will make a new wip thread although i'm not sure he was into all that really.

What you having next ?

Sad times dan mate.

Seen the car myself on saturday. Was a fine example of a cavalier. Pictures dont do it justice at at all. Hopfully we will see the progress on the cav in the near future.

The time and effort you put into the cav was unreal mate. Some really great upgrades there.

I might copy the rear brake mod that you done as the standard setup is pretty poor to be fair.

Something(s) from the blog could be preserved in the How To Discussion forum for others to follow??

Alright dan just read your feature while at knockhill the day great read nice work mate. Didnt know you have sold it? Glad it didnt get broken like you said in mag

[TurboDan]

Yeah its gone, went to the owner of vauxsausage on facebook. He knows all about zlets and tuning etc.. think he has some plans for it to so hopefully will see it again one day.

Glad you liked the feature

I seen it in the flesh other day, so it's still about and apparantly its running phase 3 now as well .

[TurboDan]

Quite sad but i just read the whole thread again! Reminiscing and thinking of how i would of done little bits differant, haveing a "i miss my cav morning" lol.

Wonder where it is now..

I know the feeling, I still miss my old hatch and it's not even been that long.

[terkin]

i just had this feeling recently,looked it up not insured and sorned guess its a corsa now

[gsi pie]

I thought you bought it back then dan

[TurboDan]

No. Although i would be temped but then again i'm not sure i would want it back again after someone else has had it. You never know what they have done to it.

[martyturbo]

Cracking thread(yes i know its over a year old now) I'm looking to do a zlet conversion myself. Just wondered if you managed to get the cruise control working on the zlet ecu matey?
I see in the pics you fitted the earlier type cruise on your clet build.

[TurboDan]

Glad you liked it

I dont think it ever worked with the zlet no, it was something to do with the way i wired the astra clutch switch in. I never got round to finishing that before i sold it.

Oh and yeah when the c20let was in i was using the omega cruise control setup.

[TurboDan]

And go for it with the zlet as i'd like to see how someone else would do it differantly

[martyturbo]

agh that's a bummer, I was hoping you'd say the zlet cruise worked fine and was dead easy to wire in lol. Its only the wiring that concerns me about the conversion really, i cant be without cruise though so that will def be getting done one way or the other.

[vauxtillidie]

In theory the cruise control should work if wired correctly however no one has ever got cruise working on a Corsa z20let conversion so maybe there's more to it
