Stage 2 Comp cams now? These will be quite hefty in a 2.0, but with the springs it will rev...

 

8-bolt flywheel? (use something aroud 5.5-6kg) And balancer delete?

[fezzasus]

oh yeah, those too. I'm on the group buy list for the flywheel, but i've also got a backup m-tech supply. 

 

As for the cams, as Vocky said - why do something twice when you can do it properly once.

 

(not the cheapest approach though!)

We just fitted some ZZP Stage1 cams in a 2.0. (They did not want to go to hot to with cams to remain good road worthyness. Stage 2 is said to raise max power by 700-1000rpm)) 

It needs some adjustments for idle quality etc, but low end driving is not that much different from stock LSJ cams. Top end seems a little better, but with a Harrop bolted on that is diffficult to notice. It does hit the 7.7K rev limiter quite fast though with 2 persons...

 

For B207 flywheel, searh for a pot-type c20let or c20xe flywheel. Plenty of them around.

 

I myself have the balancers still in, but only rev to 7200 due to stock springs. Need to start working on my engine.

How much did all the rubber seals add up to?

[fezzasus]

£200 without the front one (already had it), close to £300 with.

[fezzasus]

New badges on (finally) Love the colour it goes when the sun gets low.

 

[Graeme Lambert]

Looks sweet tom. Need to see it in the flesh though

[TazN]

Your not wrong on that colour! Looks gorgeous in the low sun.

 

New badges from autovaux?

[fezzasus]

Badges are from Vauxhall Parts World, slow delivery but I suspect that's Vauxhall rather than the company, as the vectra part i ordered recently turned up straight away.

[fezzasus]

Anyway, lenses have turned up now:

 

 

and the interior is almost complete (pain sourcing all the plastic rivets). I'll get some good photos soon

 

In the mean time, another of the rear.

 

[Acidpopstar]

Looks ace Tom. Hope to see it close up at some point

Where did you get plastic rivets tom? Looking good - still need to see it in the flesh though

[JG]

Looks absolutely wonderful. 

 

Will you be at the national so I can be jealous of it?

Have a feeling tom is off to lemans?

[TazN]

If Toms at the national I'll cry, really want to see the purple in the flesh and not at the national this year

 

Will get my badges ordered from vauxhall parts world.

[fezzasus]

Yup, off to Le Mans, gutted that it clashes with the national.

 

Here are some photos of it in it's current state

 

 

I'll also be wearing one of these, and playing Phil Collins.

Cant remember if you've answered this already, sticking with the silver surround Tom?

[Andrew aka Stuwy]

IMO I think you need silver wheels

 

never EVER thought I would say that about any wheels

agree, black TDs are so last decade

[MartinS]

Is that why you leave your wheels an orangey shade of brown Bargi!

 

Looking great Tom, fantastic colour.
