gear stick from vauxhall vectra b:

looks better than the lanos one, and feels more comfortable.

i did want to sell it... but there's a lack of interest in these cars, and i dont think anyone else would use the car like i do; it'll lose its character. lol

and as for the turbo... did you completely miss that whole phase? lol it was turbo'd, but i removed it again after 2 months.


more pictures coming soon.

why did u remove it? take me up to the speed mate

why did u remove it? take me up to the speed mate

it killed the clutch.
it was over-boosting, badly.
it used too much fuel, even when running lean.
turbo lag was a slight issue, as the turbo was too big for the 1.3 8v.

i'll do it again one day... on a bigger engine; big turbos on small engines might be fun and sinister, but its a lot of work and a pain to drive.
