    Astra MK4 Kitcar

    We have started a new project here in Holland. We wanted to replace our MK3 Astra kitcar for a new one. After a long search we came to the conclusion that a Mk4 whas the best option, we can reuse a lot of parts. The first step is to build the chassis, Tom Geenen who drives in rallycross (500hp Corsa C ) builds the chassis for us because we are in a tight time schedule. The chassis is brand new and Tom bought it by Opel Antwerp a few years ago, so no old chassis with painting, damage or other unwanted stuff. The bodykit is almost entirely made of fiberglass. Only the bonnet ( need strength for the light bar ) doors ( safety ) and talegate (faster to open incase of a flat tire) are made of normal steel)

    We have a 260HP C20XE engine 5 speed dogbox (still searching for a sequential 6 speed, if someone has one for sale please let me know )

    How does a MK4 kitcar look? Like this! Bad ass!



    Now here some pictures,

    Some new parts, cup mirrors and a OBP pedalbox

    Yes its measurements are simmilar to the original kitcar, but the original kit is only for sale under licence by RML or Opel Performance center.
