update!
just won this on ebay

i wanted a Kadett C and said she will be mine one day, oh yes, she will, and hopefully all things going well i'll be picking it up next week (it's in fooken fife

).

So excited i think im gonna piss myself

2 litre 8 valve with a T3 and pooploads of cossie gear on it, fibreglass arches etc, mint!!

so, sadly, the tigra is going to be broken, to fund the new purchase

happy/sad

djivesp · 18-10-2008, 17:55

I said to him at least he can be rest assured i'll be a good new owner for it

i'll let you have a ride in it

. All depends what i can keep off the tigra, i'd love to keep the megasquirt, lappy and screen. And the wideband. And the stereo. And maybe the engine. Wheels too. D'oh!

donvaux · 18-10-2008, 18:04

Jack · 18-10-2008, 18:06

djivesp · 18-10-2008, 18:08

haha, to be honest, i would have bought it even if it was on the original engine, kinda fell in love with it

)

donvaux · 18-10-2008, 18:12

yeah, shes a beaut

I'm expecting the engine to be fairly well sorted, but will probably try to see what AFR's it's running, i'd love to megasquirt it but need cash to pay for it

. Trying to protoshop the techno f1's onto it

. My mate says it'll look naff. I agree but i'm used to the grip and handling of the bigger wheels, they rock! What do you reckon?

Jack · 18-10-2008, 18:21

White steels?

Can I have a ride in the Tigra before you rip it up?

Or is it in Suffolk?

djivesp · 19-10-2008, 22:41

aah damn, i'd actually love some banded steels with stretched rubber on the kadett

, but i dunno yet

..
The tig's still here

It looks like i MAY be able to afford to keep the tig for a while too

course you can have a ride in it mr jack, though the map is still ropey lol

.. as for when, i'm not sure, im around 1st week of november, ill give you a txt
