My Opel (Vauxhall) Vectra

Hi, fellas!

 

Well, here you go, just wanted to show of my car, as it seems fit here :)

It's a 1995 Opel Vectra GT 2.0l 16v. 136hp, 0-100 in 8.9s and 223kph (138mph). It's a cheap and fun car, and this one only had about 77000miles on it when bought it in '06. No rust no halfassed pimpingattempts beeing made on it by previous owners (only 2 btw) :)

 

This is the only thing i've made on the car, i changed airfilter for better breathing :) I'ts a 3" pipercross with my own adapter welded on. Turned out decent.

I just had to get the car when i saw it on sale, as you can see above :) My dads car on the left and mine on the right, exactly the same model, year & color, only i have electrical windows in front and a sunroof, and he doesn't, he's very jelous of that :)

 

Why an Opel and not a BMW M3 e46? Well, i hate loans, the only loan i have is on the house and thats it, I believe in REALLY owning stuff, and this was what me and my fiancée could afford at that moment. MUCH fun for the money though :) Btw it cost 25000 Skr (€2667.98, $4195.58, £2113.27)!
