Was just going through some old videos testing the astra just after the build, the gay blue dash and funky steeringwheel are only memories now

ahhh it worked now, jesus thats quick

Im assuming its a 2.0 16v engine with mods??

leespiro

that a pretty quick astra u got there
how much bhp does it have?

Snowy_Astra

She's standard appart from a bit of headwork, nothing fantastic, just a polish and casting marks ground out.

Standard they make 155 without the cat (its a GTE engine 20XE) but i have a cat, but it still beats GTE's which is strange lol I would hazard a guess at 160bhp due to it being a strong engine & perhaps something to do with 4 head skims Dunno what the CR is, would like to check at some point but dunno how

BM08

got any more vids or pics chap? if yes then put them up

Snowy_Astra

Yeah, got a big one somewhere of me 140+ gimmie a sec and i'll put it up

Snowy_Astra

K, this video i dunno what i was thinking, 140mph with a camera in one hand and trying to steer

This was just after the conversion aswell, was curious what it would do. But it has since gone way past the 140 mark, off the clock infact

That a fast moto there

james_birch

rapid 1st gear! couldnt belive how quick it got to 40!

Snowy_Astra

yeah, its very long and high, The needle literally bounces to 40mph and when the wheels stop spinning it sticks and then flows up to 60 with 2nd

BM08

excellent vid, was surprised you managed to keep the clocks in shot the whole time without wobbling all over the shop

Snowy_Astra

lol yeah was a bit difficult there was no one on the road AT ALL, was the A3 at the dead of night, so it was only dangerous for myself

I got some more vids here, but they are 17MB and i can't compress them, i dunno what software to use

i had a fling with a cav gsi. im ford till the death hut u cant say shit about the red top lump. bullet proof cheap reliable fun. i want another one!!!! Top car!

jacko

my runaround is an l plate gsi but it just feels broken after driving my three door but its just 1.8 not red top

Snowy_Astra

C18XE isn't worth shit to me, i don't think they got half the poke the 2 litre has, they are bloody rare though.

jacko

my mate had a red top. that was realy fast mine dosnt feel that quick

fordclub
