Hello all

New to this site. Though i've been looking for a local Vectra (opel) site for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages now! Thanks for InsaneAsylum for posting a link to this on Vectra-Sport.com!

I'll post some pics of my car next week. Hoping to get new mags on saturday.

Good to see we are getting a greater variety of Opel car owners joining the site.

We now need a few more Zafira owners joining.

[Cybulba]

Welcome aboard hope u enjoy your stay ;)

[RK]

wow! this is awesome.
been reading thru the site.

seriously, this is quite overwhelming.. i never knew a site like this existed for australia. I thought i'd have to goto the UK for this stuff! sooo much info!

When are the NSW meets? Who organises them?

[mr_astra_retired]

check the nsw section for cruises... we get together quite often , and we have different people who organise meets.

Oh, its been lowered since i took this pic. I wanna get the windows tinted now.. just trying to decide where to go.. cuz i want the charcoal (slightly brown even) look, not the blueish look.

I'll be there! :)

anicorsa: no engine mods. i did the first of the 3-Pipe Mod for Vectras. Which was just cutting the inlet pip in the air intake box. Didnt have guts to rip off bumper and do the remaining two pipes. Oh.. i got a K&N panel filter too. Thats about it.. i wanna get the ECU remapped, but im trying to find out more info about that first.

Welcome to the site dude and hope you enjoy your stay.
Must tell you, nice looking car there, but why you getting rid of the rims? they look good!

[RK]

im getting 18" chromes instead ;)

[Anonymous]

niiiiiice!

[RK]

awww man! crappy shat always happens to me! nothing ever going flawlessly..

Guy said he cant fit 220/40's on my 18's :( So i gotta get 215/35.. and i didnt want 35's (cuz my ride was VERY harsh already with only 17's). PLUS i needed a minimum ofset of 44mm, and he said the wheel cam with 42mm. gahhhh! so thats screwed now too. I bet it will scrape the guards too, like my old 17's did :\

not happy Jan!


btw, here are the pics of my wheel scraping.

meh meh!
oh well, at the wheels should look a bit better than my current ones (i hope).
i'll try and take some pics this weekend. somehow.

[GOZOFF]

Iv'e got 215/35/18's on my SRi its not as harsh as you might think.
Its been droped 2" and has never rubbed aswell

[RK]

really?

how wide are your wheels? 7" or 7.5?"

mine was rubbing cuz of the wrong offset. im HOPING these ones dont rub. if it does, im gonna get the car raised again :(

i should be getting it back in an hours time.

[frankie9fingers]

hey RK welcome aboard, cool avatar.

[RK]

thanks :)

okay, got my new wheels. they look stunning!!
but im still having that scraping noise. i repainted the scraped areas, and so far they have been left untouched. so im thinking the noise is coming from elsewhere.

i need to buy one of those tiny video cameras and stick it under my wheels arches :) *stops dreaming*

okay, hmmm. im gonna have to do something. but farked if i know what :S
