i thought i would put this here
As you all know the Northcape has moved on through the club again And i am an owner of a vectra 2.5 V6 sri
it's not the best car in the world nothing wrong with it it's just not a cally.thing is you get used to the weird ways of a cally i.e frameless windows,i found this out the hard way while filling up with petrol with the window down.returned to car and proceeded to smack myself in the face with the door
,the veccys driving position is all to c**k and the F23 box has nothing over the F25 of the v6.when you overtake you need to change up mid overtake
anyway here are a few piccys but please be gentle





i will be a cally owner again in about 12 months if i cand find the right 3

Re: i thought i would put this here
Nothing wrong with that mate. It serves the purpose for now. It's almost the same as my every day car except for the GSi front bumper and the V6. I've got the 2.2 
I love the gear box on my Veccy. Not sure what it is though
It feels a lot better than the F28 on the Cally.

Re: i thought i would put this here
well ive sorted the misfire out it turned out to be a duff new plug.and a crack in one of the old ht leads.steve the inlet isnt like the callys plenums mate i didnt need to remove the main part of the inlet/throttle nody bit just the plenum wings.
Gavid ive been informed it is the F23 but i would gladly have had a 25 as the veccy feels a bit too revvy for a V6 and its too bloody quiet even with a cracked rear manifold.

by the way i have taken the noisey heat sucking cone off before anyone starts
would a V6 cally rear manifold fit the veccy as they are both x25's?

Re: i thought i would put this here

People get so much stick for owning a veccy but at the end of the day there just callys in a different shell (Thats what Baz told me anyway lol) And he likes driving mine now as its more comfy then the cally

Re: i thought i would put this here
