thats soo true.. one of my mates when he was doing his car up he said the same thing..
and even with my first project i took pics but not as many..
its like now when i look back at my pics it not only reminds me of how i done it to also help others... but the day i went thru LOL and the stupidness that may have happened.. which is alooott.. when it comes to me..

FLIPIN BEING BROKE SUCKS! lol

this is dirt cheap omd!!

btw does anyonw know if that would even fit in the kalos.. i only have a 1.4 auto.. and obv ima do the manul conversion...

omd i get butterflyz evrytime i read that...

V6 2.8 LTR TURBO VXR ENGINE!! OO MMYYY



HHUUHH!!
I JUS READ ON PARKERS.!! the 0-60 is only like 6.5!!
THATS CRAP!!! 2.8 ltr TURBO v6 only giving that!! what the hell!!!

i was xpecting something more like 5 maybe 5.5
thats put me off now..!
but then again the vectra isss a tad bit bigger and heavier

kalos 1035 kg (and mine will be lighter after removing a few things..)
vectra 1561 kg

still alot faster than a 14 second 0-60 but.. loll i want something around the 5 second mark

maybe with the weight diff it may come to around 6 maybe less.. who knows..

main question tho.. will that v6 lump fit in my engine bay!! :\

[serega12]

Like you said, your car is a lot lighter... and with a little bit of tuning I think you'd be easily able to do 0-60 in 5... And the 6-speed gearbox sounds good too. Every time I'm on a freeway I wish I could shift it one more time to bring the RPM down...

just do a cobalt ss swap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[M33EVL]

i dont have access to cobalts here in england... like you guys have issues with vauxhall engine swaps i have the issue with the cobalt swap lol..
id prefer the vauxhall vxr swap personally to be honest.. and plus i think theres more parts if im not mistaken for the vxr's as theres soooo many young lads buying them tuning them up..

but ye.. does anyone know if the V6 from the vxr would fit the kalos engine bay??

[M33EVL]

SOD IT!!
from next week im stripping my engine down!
that way i can sell parts of the engine and also get it out my engine bay and have it ready for the vxr engine when i get it! mwahaha mwahahah!!
umm where do i start LOOL!!!

im not to experienced in this field..
so um would it be better to sell my engine part by part?
or as the entire lump?

please help...

there is a thread about this, one of the v6 engines will "work" but i am not sure which.

the one you posted looks longitudinally mounted? maybe its just my iphone picture size?
