Hello and greetings from Bulgaria,
The story started about 4-5 years ago, when I got my first car - a German import '92 Astra Mk3 GSi with the C20NE engine (very uncommon modification in the UK as far as I know). This is how it looked:
I purchased a few bits and pieces through the years (supersprint headers, Kent cams Ast15 kit, port'n'polished head, full engine rebuild, C20SEH pistons etc. and ended up with a pretty nervous C20NE I started racing last year
The 2007 season finished, the car survived (with a few scratches).
This year we've been (I say we because I have a few friends helping me out with know-how, tools etc. etc.) working mainly on the shell...well it has over 15 years of exploitation so it had to be stiched up, strenghtened and painted. First thing - get everything out, and give it a good clean and cut where needed.
The shell finished:
Few little extras:
We decided to go for the valver this year...the 8v prooved to be very suitable for learning the whole concept of racing on a track with others around you, but it wasnt competitive...
Got some cams from Risse Motorsport, engine rebuild again
Hope you find the project interesting
Next race is Saturday/Sunday , hope it goes well.
