Post a pic of your real car

Here’s a few more of my French baguette.
It’s dead stock by the way apart from tires (AD08r) and I just love it. Only thing I dislike is the OEM exhaust, it’s too silent.

For a second I thought that Opel was a Chevy SS / Holden Commodore LOL

Well it kinda is

Been having A LOT of electrical issues with no resolution in sight... I'm at my wit's end but with these long winter nights, the car has never looked better. I'll update my thread with a full description of the current issues later this week.

Obligatory "It's snowing again" picture

Oops

Even with studded snows, on an unplowed uphill slushy road with a curvature the whole way it couldn't do it. Got sucked into the guardrail and that was that.

I have a love/hate relationship with my car. Currently, it's love. It'll change tonight.

Looks fresh!! If you could make your headlights a bit less weathered it would look very clean overall

Don't remember if I've posted my car since I got it unwrapped. Either way, went for a drive this morning and snapped this while I was waiting for my dad to turn up:

New clutch and tires, good to go for a few more years.

Well my car has 7 litres less displacement than that...

I've got two Vauxhall Corsas. The one on the left, I bought 2 months ago, have worked on, and just sold. On the right, my first car, fresh from having the roof resprayed.

New to me but a used 3SGTE TRD muffler onto my 3SGE SW20.

@GDII any improvements and favourable byproducts (sound)?

Doesn't seem to go any better and on throttle can get loud. Depends on the RPM. The 3S engine is inherently unbalanced so vibrates and makes a pretty intense buzzing sound.

This is the single exit TRD 3SGE muffler but it sort of sounds the same is is as loud but that clip is pushing the car really hard, not typical daily lower speed slow acceleration sounds. 1,750RPM is quite bad.
This one appears to be an NZ video but it's the GEN3 3SGE rather than the GEN2 but does sound the same when you drive it like this. I don't due to it being so loud.

It's been a while... Here's a picture just before she got packed away for the winter!
Still seeing daily driver duties with no issues. I guess it's time to start counting down the days until spring again.....

I didn't notice any improvements in power mostly because it's so loud I never really got into it much. The smell of fuel was worse and different and the oil burning would have smoke coming out when stopped in traffic. That smell was far more obvious too. So the catalytic converter does work quite well.

Pros:
It does at some RPMs have a nice performance car rumble to it. But only warm idle and very light cruising throttle on flat roads.
It looked amazing.
It would make a pop noise when lifting off the throttle but only one per event and very quiet. That was quite appealing and did make me smile.

Cons:
Too loud and I'm sure it annoyed the neighborhood, I like my neighbors.
It actually sounds horrendously terrible and at some RPMs sounds like it has a big leak in the exhaust system even though it had no leaks vs the OEM system. It just buzzes like an angry wasp and doesn't sound good at all.
It got oil on it from the leaky oil pump on the engine.
It got tar melted onto it making it very hard to clean.
The smell and amount of oil smoke coming out the back was terrible.

So I took it off and put the OEM muffler and cat back on. It will have to wait until there is a turbo attached to the car first before this goes back on. It's only 4 bolts if I really want to swap it out again.
