Saw one several years ago parked up with wheels off just round the corner from me, but i didnt live hear then, somebody had been working on it so thought it safe to asume it lived there.

And on the way home last night I saw it, or another?, 2 mins from my house. Big beasty it is too.

A quick google reveals someone advertising spares in the Reading area, these are rare, cant be more than 1 that close by surely.

I guess he'll be an abs member, i suppose i should buck up and try to brake in to the abs forum again. Is it me or is access to abs a pita?

Omegatoy put it in a pre-facelift gls, went pritty quick by all accounts.

Specs suggest 0-60 in 5.1 seconds, and 377 bhp. Be just as capable as a V8.... (although a 6.0 Monaro engine would do nicely!)

Be cheaper in the end! :y
You'd need a gearbox and rear axle to go with the C3.6GET engine, plus management, wiring, blah blah......... plus a shedload of cash to keep it sweet, turbo prices, hard to find parts...............

I know of one guy in Reading with an Elsie - but I really don't think he's pulling it apart! Is there a very nice grey Senator B with Irmscher kit on the drive aswell?
Loving the Vectra C 2.2 diesel!

it was the password that was the stumbling block last time, do you still have to email admin for login details?

My e-mail came from "forum-manager@autobahnstormers.co.uk" ... don't know if that is a monitored address or not ... but worth an email ?? I'd quote your membership number at the same time .. :)

Yes, you would. I'll dispose of that nasty C36GET for you. I was getting bored with the four pot in my Westfield anyway.  :-*
