Just goes to show what can be done

I do prefer the mk4 to the mk5

Please comment I want to know what you think...

Pretty cool if it were not a Vauxhall. Manifold looks ceramic coated so I'm guessing it's very highly tuned.

So this guy fitted a monaro v8 and running gear in an astra coupe?

Dont you remeber the post I put about the Astra Coupe V8. Ended up selling for £10,500. Was an absolute beast. The one in the first link above actually hasn't had that much done. Only the engine, uprated intercooler, uprated inlet, larger turbo and a remap. So guessing only running about 250bhp. You can get the VXR engine past 300 very easily but not recomended without uprating the internals.

Here a bid of the V8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1pTTDnKonU

It's got 330hp that the most that can be had on those internals,
don't forget a completely standard astra vxr engine has 240hp and a remap takes it to 270 hp there abouts

He used all brand new parts he had a brand new engine with 0 miles on it, and everything else including the gearbox all the uprated parts the rear beam the front suspension all brand new....
