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.

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.

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.

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
20-11-03, 04:37 PM
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!

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'.

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

Stanton
26-11-03, 07:08 AM
nope sorry m8, they need to be drilled and countersunk into the block under the bearing shells, the block needs to come out

peester
26-11-03, 06:40 PM
rs; is it worth it? spray bars. or is this mate of mine fecking taking the piss?

Stanton
26-11-03, 06:59 PM
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
26-11-03, 07:01 PM
tut, :roll: you remind me of someone.

Stanton
26-11-03, 07:03 PM
tut, you remind me of someone.

eh? who?

peester
26-11-03, 07:31 PM
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
26-11-03, 07:41 PM
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
26-11-03, 09:48 PM
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
26-11-03, 10:09 PM
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
26-11-03, 10:40 PM
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
26-11-03, 10:42 PM
what spec u running then?

Jon_nova1
27-11-03, 10:08 AM
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
