Mot august

This car has a few problems (does run, drive perfect!)
i have all the parts to fix it!

ill list the bad things first i don't want to waste anyones time

Starter motor has gone so have to bump to start (i do have a replacement part)
The exhaust is blowing from the flexi (again i have the flexi pipe)
Needs 2 tyres ( i have 2 new tyres)
Clicky CV Joint which actualli started today! ( i have a replacemnt)

All these are little things that can be fixed in a day if u have the time!
I work 70 hours a week so i just don't have time to fiddle with these things!

Now the good parts!

Long MOT
174 bhp 184lbt of torque! Proven
0-60 time of 4.8 seconds (in the dry)
Koni shocks and Dampers 40mm lower
Real head turner!
Power Steering
ABS
Air bags

The underneath of the car is spotless

now i know big engines are guzzlers but on a run this car can average upto 55mpg, round town with steady driving 35-40!
don't get me wrong if you put your foot down all the time so will your wallet I'm not going to lie.

It is the Astra sport so it comes standard with semi bucket seats, electric windows etc, its the highest spec!


I'm completely honest with my ad so please don't waste my time!











the badge is also missing off the back, and the car sits slightly lower now than on these pictures

Hmm, interesting estimates on both 0-60 time and MPG!

[reeceaaines]

have u owned this car??
if ur not stopping and starting the and stay on 5th year 65 mph the car avrage computer will stay at 55mpg

this car is very good on fuel if u drive it economically.

Also forgot it has a big service history.

the car will go off the clock at 140 and right round (private road ovcorse)

[technics1974]

Of course it will!

point proven sleeper

I have just worked out that a car with the Astras aerodynamics and weight would need 317 bhp to reach 60 mph in 4.8 seconds. The 2.5 engine has just over half that!! More like 7.5 seconds.

[tubthumper]

I'm assuming the clocks are in KPH ?

Any pics of the engine ?

[cooke80]

It'll still be a quick car.

[reeceaaines]

okay then, what about with a flywheel that is 8kg lighter than a standard, a shorter ratio f20 gearbox, also rear is stripped out, spare wheels seats etc which is how i drove the car for the last 2 monts

[reeceaaines]

yes mate heres a picture of the bay, the conversion was done by AMConversions

[reeceaaines]

also the clocks are in mph

[CFmania]

If it has a short ratio box how can it manage 55 mpg?

[swordfish210]

My 2.5 Alfa has 192bhp, weighs 1280kgs and the 0-60 time is 7.3 seconds with a top speed of 143mph and will do 32mpg. How come this Astra with less power and a supposedly "short Ratio" gearbox will do the 0-60 run 3 seconds quicker, do a unknown amount of MPH faster and do another 23mpg more?

I'm genuinely curious as those figures seem pretty unreasonable?

[Monkfish]

Regardless of any claims which may or may not be slightly dubious, this looks a good buy to me. Fun car for cashpoint moolah. GLWTS.

[reeceaaines]

because alfas are curse word

[compass]

Not doubting it would be fairly quick, and could get reasonable MPG, but those claimed figured were crazy. IMO, even if I was interested in the car, reading such false claims would put me off.

On a side note, it looks like a nice conversion, and a cheap price for someone.

Well thank you for that well thought out and reasoned reply, you are obviously a very intelligent person and i was a fool to question your word and i'm sure your super sharp comebacks will put all of the doubters in their place.

[reeceaaines]

thanks!

you go onto a forum which is suposed to be full of genuine car enthusiasts who actually apriciate something for what it is. i just thought i would offer it on here before it goes on ebay and some boy racer crashes it into a ditch.

I agree , and I like the fact it still looks fairly standard.

[hamps]

I would love this

I'm in Chatham Kent! Bit far for me!

Ignore these other top hats!
