The Vectra
Posted: Sun Aug 08, 2010 2:49 amAs requested in the Intro thread, here is some pictures of my Vauxhall Vectra track day/fun car from the beginning to how it sits now.
As I bought it for a total of £100
During the Respray
After the respray
Then after it had passed the MOT we set about stripping out the interior
We then set about spending money (my least favorite bit
)
We ran it like this for a while before taking it off the road for some more major work.
Roll cage was fabricated from a MK2 escort one
Roll cage finished off and 4 point harness's fitted
Rubbing strip indents filled with metal
as it sits now
So far it looks like the plans for the engine may change to fitting a C20LET turbo engine which should give us around 200hp with potential for 300hp+ which in a car which doesnt weigh much should be fairly rapid. Hopefully 4 pot brakes should be up front with some bigger disc's and more weight loss which is becoming more difficult to find dead weight.
And just because I can heres a picture of my everyday car
