A friend of a friend of mine used to have one of those - Astra ST200 - FWD, 6 speed box (I think) 2.0 LET engine as standard - Awesome cars.
And they were South African only.

[Stanton]

[Jim]

ne 1 for a filler cap?

Don't think you'll get many people asking for a Gold Filler cap

Jim

[Stanton]

black, silver, green or woteva

[?Marty?]

How about the one that's welded flush into my bodywork? lol

And that astra is the mingiest pile of ming i've ever seen. Wouldn't mind the engine in a nova though.

errr y?

[Ben]

Thats VERY VERY WEIRD.

Where did you get that pic from? Do you know the owner?

That Photo was took at a Municiplaity Holiday Park in Hartenbos in the Cape of South Africa.

The park is about 8-10 Miles outside a town called MosselBay.

I lived about 1 mile from that park in a suburb called Bayview and used to walk there everyday to go swimming.

What a small world.

[Ste_Nova]

can you photoshop that astra into a 2 door saloon... using longer 3 door doors etc... so it's a 2 door gsi saloon

[Ben]

Ecosse done that with a 306 saloon.

Just a point about the filler caps, i wouldnt mind a black one but would rather buy a novatech one for ?20 and a can of paint!

yeh sedan insane

[Ben]

Yeah must admit i do admire that one.

errr y?

Just because i dont really like ANYTHING with more than two doors, and that astra looks too much like a taxi with fucked shocks. I mean, its NOTHING special to look at, is it? And i prefer standard/clean' looking cars, so it's not because it doesnt look like my own 'jap crap'.

phase 4? oil squirters etc.....?

[peester]

thats the one. he is a one as well. heres me with my standard nova trying to scrape together two shockers to make a kit (nice) when hes fitting oil squirters and he doesn't know what they do. im hoping to get the day off and come up with him anyways. i think he's a newbie on cav.web if anyones a regular.

[LARA26]

have you really got pink filler caps? if u do i want one!

[Stanton]

i can get them but i need an order of at least 5.

if u can get 5 ppl to have one i can get em anodised pink

[dan16v]

rs do you know if you can fit oil spray bars with out removing the engine ie just remove the sump?

[Stanton]

nope sorry m8, they need to be drilled and countersunk into the block under the bearing shells, the block needs to come out

[peester]

rs; is it worth it? spray bars. or is this mate of mine fecking taking the piss?

[Stanton]

yep, spray bars are a reli gud idea. keeps everything kool. as you gain more power from an engine you inherently gain heat as a result, the bars help reduce the risk of piston melt from high temperatures.

on a std engine on you will not need em, they are there as a safety precaution, the mapping is reli gud and so realistically you cud go without them but not all the softwares full poterntial. this is not adviseable tho, obviously you want your car to be as reliable as poss. the bars add reliability


they enable you to keep the pistons cool as you increase revs and oil pressure they squirt oil at the base of the pistons, cooling them down.

hang on a mo u gave me an idea.........

mmmm, my 1600 screamer might benifit from a set of these

[peester]

tut, :roll: you remind me of someone.

[Stanton]

tut, you remind me of someone.

eh? who?

[peester]

my mate; the 'no job too big' style. i was only kidding.
in our 'crew' this mate is in another league with his plans and mods it seems to be getting a bit ridiculous. youre ok though cos you work at regal and you know what the stuff does.

[Stanton]

lol, i c wot u meant.

spose i do day dream sumtimes.
will start to reshell the red one to the plum after mk.

ill keep ya posted.

cheers peester if i go into daydream mode again pinch me :lol:

[dan16v]

hmm bitch wish id got the spray bars now, but it doesnt matter too much as you can compensate by using aqua mist to a certain extent

[Stanton]

mmm yeah to a certain xtent, but your cooling the air not the pistons.

you are making more power with the aquamist but with the bars you are engineering safety into the engine.

[dan16v]

aqua mist doesnt give you power realy in turn it cools the piston tops aswell as lowering your inlet charge to a small degree

[Stanton]

what spec u running then?

[Jon_nova1]

aquamist can increase bhp but your engine need's to be modified to fcuk it won't be a great increase, but you won't get anything most of the time
