shawdreamer Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) Shame about the nissan lol.Is that a real GSi?My mate has a veccy B GSi and the recaro seats are beautiful its not as fast as i thought tho, and the bloody engines are a pig to work on arnt they same ere, except his engine was rebuilt by MSD just before he bought it and the previous owner said the difference was shocking speed wise. I picked it up for him from the same bloke I sold my Cav Turbo to a few weeks back and drove it back from Sandbach to ere........ put my old Astra Gsi to shame performance wise hi hear is a photo of my black vectra at the pv show 2009 and this is my green vectra gsi msd http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr356/phillipsri/Picture248.jpg thats crying out for the original alloys (which btw look smart black powder coated) Edited January 18, 2010 by shawdreamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevmo3691 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 few escorts then i always like the way the vectra B looked but having owned a 1.8, they go well in a straight line (perfect m-way cruisers) but suck round bends. really has a crap chasis that runs wide so easy. mine only had standard 15" alloys and was a CD spec but it still rode firmly and the seats were uncomfortable long distance. My dad used to have a 2.0 CDX cav which put the vectra to shame. also hate insurance on it - mums astra has same 125PS 1.8 ecotec engine and is group 8 insurance. vectra is group 12, but group 9 for the older less powerful 1.8 When i'm older i will be getting a mk2 mondeo ST200 which is better in every way, other than perhaps styling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
