Lude Generation

Ok this has been my ride for the last four years , its been a reliable and great car but unfortunately in the next three months It will have a new
Owner as the suspension is going to cost me too much to get sorted and as it’s a rareish car parts aren’t easy to come by now , I paid 1000 pounds from a best mate of mine and it had 107k on the clock and now its on 127k ,




This was taken for the photoshoot when our cars were feautured in Total Vauxhall magazine








My transformed engine after the oil cooler blew up before the rolling road , and my late brother in law transformed the look of the red and white theme when he took his life a week later so the car has a special sentimental value to it



And the video of my 2.5 v6 24v on the rollers :

my housemate had one, he loved it

but got nicked and burnt out in bristol,

they smash the quater windows and unlock the car, bad design in that respect but good car

You wont regret a Lude

thats a surprise and you had a magazine too lol , the v6 is a good car but dated now and as mine (standard kicked out 188.4 on the first run and thats pretty good considering vx said they were rated between 167-170 and for how old the car was was a great achievement , im sure i will miss it but when i have the gen 5 lude im sure i will look at that beast and say (yep im glad i done it).


My se9 is the last ever one made on the production line of which 304 including 49 autos were made and these were around 23k i believe but when you look up the specs between them it says calibra has lower wishbones and the prelude has double wishbones (well surely thats why the calibra doesnt handle like the lude lol

Oddly I own both a Corrado and a 'Lude.
I feel good now.. Shame the Corrado is a 2.0 16v instead of a VR (and in need of quite a bit of work at the mo)

yep i have not enjoyed owning the v6 but i tired with the club as some got abnoxious and meets were getting smaller to where two cars would turnup , our best ever turnout was at trax 2010 where 40 mixed calibras turned up including a rare calibra v6 cabriolet which was a custom ordered one.
