Ermmm, ive fooked it by rallying the car!
No, will need to ring up about engine conversion insurance I would think, Cally t is a standard car so will be cheaper to insure

Was it a classic shaped Scooby? If so it was 215bhp unless it was one of the limited editions (Terzo, McRae, P1 etc) in which case it could have been as much as 280bhp.

Type R and RA were Jap imports.
The only one I didnt mention was the 22B, 400 cars made, 16 UK models of which 11 are left.

Still my favourite Astras the Mk2's.
I reckon a GTE in white, with dark rims, stripped out completely with throttle bodies would be a great street sleeper!

stooooop it !
I have already spent way more than I said I would! But then I ask myself, is it ever going to be worth selling??
Honest answer, no, not really.
Its worthless really.
bought it for what I sold my bike for!
Soooo, why not piss money at it and keep making it better? Would be more fun than paying off a newish / faster car which I would probably get bored of anyway!

i would rather put money into something cheaper and less advanced and build it how i wanted, then buy something new and have to take it to dealerships when somethings up, paying over the top prices etc
i never think about resale value when owning stuff, as long as i've enjoyed it

Must admit his was silly fast, 308 bhp!
But my brother had a gte and was lovely car.
Same here though i had a race with a turbo 2000 imprezza and he couldnt get passed, he wasnt happy at all.
