Hello my fellow Opel/vauxhall mates..
i´d thought somebody might be interested in my project.
I got an Astra MKI GTE wich i have owned since late -96
It has gone through a lot of work since then.
first a total rebuild,, done in a hurry,, not so good

Drove it with a XE first,, blew cambelt.

Builded a heavily modified C20Ne (aprox 205hp)
pic of cylinderhead(i avent got much pics of this)
then i ran into a very cheap LET, rebuilded that one with h-profile rods and so on, and punished it like hell.
First summer with std turbo and aprox 310hp
Second summer with aprox 480hp
then it went in to heavily mods.
i have now converted it to 4wd with Toyota transmission from Celica GT4
But i´m using Calibra 16v rearaxle beam. ofcourse with toyota rear drive.
I´m also building a new engine(pics here:
