1. Rear 60mm lowering springs
2. Set of the vauxhall, Opel GM mudflaps.
3. Exhaust make by Anderson engineering (ME). Lol

Good project, looking nice Look forward to seeing it when you have got it finished

[BIGBOY1]

I just need to get her clean and scratchless.
The alloys are in a ridiculous state with grease and brake dust.
The interior is imaculate. Especially for 101000 miles.
Was thinking of getting a set is zafira gsi alloys or the 5 spoke zafira ones.
Not going to do a lot. Going to try to keep it original'ish.

Exhaust make by Anderson engineering (ME). Lol

tell me more mate

[BIGBOY1]

cut off the old one just behind the cat jointgot a length of 2" straight pipe used pipe bender to shape, had a peco 4 back box that i bought off a mate for £10 and welded it on
started running it on the 1st of may, decided a week later that it was too noisy and found a centre section off of a rover 200 that i scrapped and i cut the box out and welded it in to the cally
now sounds the dogs danglys. lol

Stock V6 exhaust bore is 2.5". Custom stainless steel designs using the same bore will give improvements. A larger 2.75" bore will give greater improvements but only really effective when a larger bore is applied to the entire system (manifolds through to back box).

[BIGBOY1]

it was the only thing i had.
might get another one. not sure yet.

[RobbieV]

Two previous V6's that i have owned have had 2.5" vauxhall standard exhaust system fitted before haveing a powerflow system fitted.
