My astra

[Si_steve]

Here is the mk2s friend, one owner from new 6000 miles on it and not a mark on the bodywork





So far it has a homemade exhaust system, Apiro sealed cold air induction kit, eibach springs and koni shocks, whiteline anti roll bar kit and a TC switch fitted

plans for it are irmscher spoiler, lexmaul manifold + 200 cell sports cat, remap, dblias inlet manifold and some cams, should be looking at about 170-180ish bhp then hopefully, spose thats ok for a daily

What engine is that?

How do you figure it will be 170bhp?

[Si_steve]

Z18XE, i know realisticaly i wont achaive that more like 150bhp but its just from quotes ive heard about the engine

[Martin_Hx]

Looks tidy, i always liked that colour too !

[Si_steve]

cheers, people seem to be divided on the colour, I love it however as its unusual, just a bugger for painting lol

[flattotheboards]

Looks very tidy, the colour is a bit of a marmite colour though, you either love it or hate it.

I was gonna say you would be lucky to hit 180 with them mods on the 2.2.

Save ya money and get a Z20LET/C20LET in there

nah mate just want a little extra poke under the bonnet, the escorts for the silly engine conversion(im thinking cosworth or C20XE)

God I'd love to swap the little 1.6 for that 2.2 lump

Nice Bertone by the way, always had a thing for one of those

[Si_steve]

Actually im a ford man through and through but always had a soft spot for the bertones and this one came up at the right price with the lowest mileage ive seen on a car this age

think im already on the astra owners club as bertone_steve
