    Fronera Astrav6

    Wisecobandits v6 astra.

    Car
    1994 Astra sport 1.8

    Engine
    2.5 ltr v6 engine fitted.
    GSI inlet cams
    Matched in the inlet ports to the head myself for better flow.
    Reground in all 24 valves (tedious job but worthwhile)
    K&N filter although i dont like induction kits it was a necessity as i didn’t have the room for a standard airbox.
    Exhaust system is 2 1/2" bore minus the cat.
    3.5 bar FPR
    Octane plug changed for stronger advance
    ECU superchipped
    Vauxhall fan and slimline fan fitted to aid cooling to the engine bay.

    Transmission
    5 speed F25 gearbox .Quaiffe LSD to be fitted shortly.

    Suspension
    Standard Suspension.
    Although cav turbo front suspension to be fitted in the near future.

    Brakes
    Standard disc all-round although changing to the v6 front disc calipers when I get around to doing the front suspension……

    Wheels & Tyres
    Standard 15" sport alloys

    Styling
    Standard sport styling with badges removed and gsi type front grill to try and help improve cooling.

    Interior
    Standard Vauxhall sport interior.

    ICE & Security
    JVC cd player set-up
    More security than you can shake a stick at but not revealing what alarms for obvious reasons!

    Performance
    Dynoed at 207.3hp with 185ft/ib of torque.


    Basically I like the sleeper approach and have tried to keep the car looking as standard as possible.The only exterior mod your likely to see is a bigger tailpipe!I am even trying to keep the standard vaux alloys @ 15" to help acceleration being on the F"25 gearbox. Although I see some slight corrosion on 1 alloy so maybe in the future they will get powder coated matt black rather than silver.
    Further modifications when funds allow will include making up some performance exhaust manifolds and getting a unichip fitted along with nitrous oxide.A coil over set-up would be nice although the aforementioned comes first.
