Re: my new track toy

very smart move mate, getting a shell already "finished" so to speak. so it just needs a power plant and damn good set up ?

Re: my new track toy

Good purchase
Had a sneeky feeling it was yourself that had bought this shell!
What are the plans then? You transfering your LET from your current gte into this one?

I'm still surprised Twitch got rid of that Astra, one min he was on about making it 4x4 the next time I speak to him he has sold it!? Was an absolute beast before be good to see it as one again.

I changed my mind about putting a let in the current one as i use it as a daily runner. plan is to let it about 250bhp- 280bhp f28 with a quaife should be fast enough on a track.

got a let Darren do you have a copy of GTE 16v car wiring diagram and colours of wires etc that can be scanned on to the computer as have a whole cars loom lights fuses in a bag and is about 10kg of wires lol .. going to be a head case trying to strip it down to basics.

Got commitments i need to take care of first then will be starting on this.

Thanks for your kind words everyone

Re: my new track toy

Glad to see you put pictures up on here, Liam.

Buying a decent shell to begin with is deffo the way to go with these cars.

Here's some pictures of the car when it was in Rob's hands which I took at Billing in 2008.

Oh by the way Liam, you may be sticking a LET in it, but I'll still give ya a run for your money at track days once I get mine sorted!

Might be wrong, but iirc Harvey had a complete wiring diagram which is probably what your after.

I do indeed and it's a 7 meter long taped together print out of the the complete Haynes manual wiring for the mk2. Helped me out no end as it meant I could strip every bit of wiring I did not require and cut it at all the junction points properly. Saved me a lot of weight as I ended up with two full carried bags.

This was back in April 2006 and it took me two weeks to complete!



All scrap including the ABS loom and ABS ECU. I never weighed it all but rest assured it was well over 5kg.




You can see how skinny the main loom is to/from the fuse box after it was re-fitted. I also moved some of the fuses round for security

Re: my new track toy

Harvey that is very neat. and is what i am looking to do.

would it be possible to get a copy/ scan of it somehow please. Can reimburse u whatever it cost to get done

I hope so. will be good to see yours alive again. Think it will take me a bit of getting used to going from 160bhp to 280bhp.

I want a set of these supertouring wheels. I have been looking for about 6 month and can't find any. so if anyone spots a set for sale could you let me know cheers

Re: my new track toy

might be cheaper to buy a whole vectra ST (the 2.0 ones)! theres one on mig for £450, break the rest
