Have owned this for a couple of months now. Had been off the road for a little while, but didn't need too much work to get it sorted. Although it's a competition car it had been running Roadsaloons so there was a bit of uprating still to be done.
Engine: Originally 1.8, increased to 1998cc using the Astra GTE 2.0 block and crankshaft, competition conrods, Mahle race pistons, Blydenstein head, Enem 292 duration “stage rally” cam, competition valves with 3-angle valve seats, bronze guides and de-shrouded ports, Gems-Omex ECU, Ashley competition 4 branch manifold feeding to Ashley 2 ˝ inch system, lightened and balanced flywheel, competition clutch, low ratio box with f20 diff.
Koni adjustable damping, Stancombe springs, poly-bushed all round, adjustable front camber, 288mm grooved and drilled discs with Vectra V6 calipers, rear discs conversion to be completed with Harry Hockley rear beam and ARB, adjustable f/r bias, all lines run in-board; runs Speedlines with dunlop slicks or yoko ao21s.
Fully stripped, Sparco race seat and harnesses, occasional omp passenger seat when i find the right sub-frame for it; full safety devices cage, plumbed in and hand-held extinguishers, battery cut-off, fia pulls for battery and extinguisher.
With previous owner - 174bhp @ 7294rpm with 121lb ft torque, 0-60 7.1 with full interior.
I've got a harsher enem cam that will go in after a bit more headwork, and a set of bike t/bs on a custom manifold to experiment with, which should see enough power to make the car competitive, even tho i won't be.
