Haven't even had time to watch the video but please.. please.. please.... Have more cars from this era!!!! I do love modern cars but nothing compares to the 90s style Escort, Orion, Sierra, 106, 205, 306gti, Novas, Astras, Cavaliers, mantas, E30s, E36s , Even the Fiat Uno 4x4 was an important piece of history back then, All your content is 10/10 but these types of throwback videos bring me and my father that little bit closer everytime ot gives us something to reminisce about so thank you for that alone

@c.j.62504 жыл бұрын
Martijn Jansen already said it, but i just have to point it out once more. In Germany and the rest of Europe, the car was called Opel Kadett. Funny that Vauxhall named it Astra back then, because the Astra is what was its successor in Germany. The Astra line startet with Astra F, the Kadett line ended with this particular model, which was the Kadett E. Nonetheless, the motor from the Cali Turbo, which was the C20LET, is a beast and has been used in a lot of Opel/Vauxhall swaps, from Corsas over Kadetts to Astras. This here is quite a nice build. Big ups to the owner i.e. previous owner and builder 👍👍👍

That's one car I used to have, in the carmine red. :-) Had to sell the car but still have the turbo engine, gearbox and other bits and bobs knocking about. Waiting for another project or owner. The 0-60 time makes me think it's either seriously traction limited or it is only putting out the standard 204 bhp. There is a switch in the gearbox for first gear to limit the torque. The turbo was designed to be close to the engine to reduce the lag, which should account for the smooth power delivery, a technique manufactures are starting to use again with directly bolt to head turbos, Ford Focus RS's etc. I think the F28 gearbox model name was supposed to denote the torque capabilities in newton meters, 280Nm, and was made specifically for that turbo engine by Getrag.

Great engine, especially the early one with a bit higher power, no cat etc. I always wanted to fit ITBs, on a bog standard lump that upped power to 200bhp NA! Its no wonder that so many kit cars and racers used that lump. I'm a 46 year old family man now but i've even had dreams of driving my GTE thats how much it stayed with me haha! Although they got stick over handling, once you got used to it (i had a 1.8 GTE prior) you could make it dance round mini roundabouts!
