that black cover with the red vauxhall "L" under the hood is also nice.

Welcome! Nice car, very nice Irmscher steeringwheel & stick.
You came to the right place for info about V6 conversions. There is some experience around here with that kind of work.

Good luck with all of your plans. If you like to be able to read more about what's going on overhere, you should take a course Dutch .

if it was a grolsch logo ok... but this sux

English!!!!! Pics rule with the ship in the background!

I feel at home now!

V6 is becoming more and more popular. Would love to do this as well, but prefer putting in a C20LET if i had the money.

Nice car! but you put the wheel at the wrong side of the car after drinking to mutch Heineken We need more foreign Astra drivers! Nice to see Astra's from other country's.

@Androdans

Switch your wheel to RHD and you are at home

Niice, welcome.

Or the Calibra V6
And that is indeed the most easy way. Strip what you need, sell the rest again.

from wich car are those leather seats?

there GSi seats been re-trimmed in leather

wow, they look very nice.

may i very welcome you
i like your leather seats very mutch.

just a question:

what kind of air filter you've got in the Heineken barrel?. it looks very nice and want to do the same but then with a grolsch barrel.


chris

its a Green Stuff Air Filter in the keg,

would a v6 fit onto a f20 gearbox, and can i use a v6 from a Automatic Cavalier ! just need to change the flywheel & clutch over !

Yes, a f20 will fit, but you need a spacer between engine and gearbox, or spacers between the right engine mount.
The spacer between engine and gearbox is the best option, and available by Rally-astra (on this forum) who has his own shop.

Automatic gearbox away, and f20 with a proper flywheel and clutch is no problem
I thougt you have to make a little change in your wiring looms but i don't know exactly.

on the german forum http://www.mv6.de" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; is a lot of info, but i don't know if you can understand their language...

Welcome! Nice Astra!

Welcome
Nice Astra

Large Update,

Redtop has a bottom end knock soo i went out and bought a Calibra v6 for its running gear,

Question i have to all you guys is, Can i use the f25 gearbox as reverse is in a diffrent place also hurd i cand need to space any mounts if i used a f25box is this true i need some advice,

cheers will get some pic's up v6 has been removed alredy and is been cleaned up,

From what I know the f25 is usable, but you'll probably need to modify your stick mechanism because of the reverse safety, or you need to take that from the Calibra as well.
Maybe RallyAstra (Rellie op 't Werk) can give you exclusion on this one.
