hi all
i can get a 3.2 veccy elite for a stupidly small amount of cash (right place right time) ;) has sat nav , full leather etc etc, what i am wondering is the cambelt changing intervals, is it the same as the mig 40k or 4 years or are the veccys different???
TIA

You'll soon what to sell it - the first time you present those 3.2GSi's a corner when the roads aren't bone dry....
The chassis is pretty awful.
Quicker than an Omega in a striaght line, once you have the bugger moving :y

enjoying it ;)

and a few things i want to do ie , cambelt, camcover gaskets (for piece of mind)
new shocks (probally bilstien)
but other than that a good car and errr fast isnt the word :D :D and still getting an average of approx 29mpg (better than my migs) and thats with me still playing with the accelerator ::) ::) ::)
-
They have quite an appetite in front tyres!
-
yup and wierd size, 215/50/17 not many places have them in stock, (wonders what others he can put on) ??
-
Would have been a stonking car if it had been RWD. Must be considerably lighter than an Omega. ;)
-
Go on, let me have her! You've had her long enough now :)

Correct, gross weights taken from Autotrader... :y
-
Not much in it (fully laden) then. :-\
-
Would be worth breaking.
Engine with proper intake on it would be usefull for a real car, body must be worth £200 or so.

Spares
I am sure one of the failed cambelt cars would want the engine.
Or someone wanting to upgrade a 2.5 or 2.6

Yuck, an auto :o
The Vectra 3.2 only works with a manual box. Its not a bad gearbox either (little notchy, but not bad).
-
its also a semi-auto box (dont know what it is called) knock the gearshift to the left and you can go through the gears like a manual ;)
but it is one thing i will be looking into changing to a manual box, i do like manual's ;)
but for the money i paid for it couldnt really turn round and say "ermm sorry its got an auto box" ::)
-
Sequential ;)
But still auto, unlike, for eg, DSG

Not a proper sequential either. ;)
It's an auto box through and through. and they are best left to change gear themselves IMHO. Overriding the changes only highlights the frustration of losing 2000+ RPM between each gear... IMHO ;)
-
Like the saloon, a bit rarer/better looking than the hatch imo. :y Fitting a manual box is probably cheaper/easier than replacing the slush box when the oil cooler fails. :-\ It may be 2011, but pink mayonaise is never fashionable ::) Crap in snow too, won't let you start in a gear higher than third. :-\

Whatever still wrong wheel drive with too much weight and power.
That engine should have stayed where it belonged

No an Omega - it is the Omega engine with different intake stuff

Depends on your teacher. ;) First application of the 54deg V6 was in the Chavalier / Vectra / Calibra, surely? Only later did it get fitted to the RWD cars when the C26/C30 engines were dropped, so one could argue where it truly belongs. ;D

Who actually cares, anything which lowers the number of WWD cars is a good thing.

I bet the rear cam-cover is a bugger to change..... :-\
