well, that one (http://corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=304378) is VERY quick.
dunno about the handling, but it wont be too much worse than a C20LET one...
amazing motorway car

Didn't realise there had ever been a V6 Astra.
Sounds like a very cool car.

Ahh, Cheers Ed. That makes more sense.
So it's an Astra with a V6 in it rather than a V6 Astra.

i've got 2! much nicer and more civilised than a red top corsa, very nice to drive, loads of torque and winds on very well, i would use the f20 tho not the f25, and use the early xe flywheel (same as a courtenay £25 one) they nearly all make 185bhp+ out of the box, with a set of 3.0 cams a 4 abr fpr, and a re map you'll be looking at a genuine 200bhp and the sound of a jet fighter to boot!

just check the coolant side of things, make sure the fan cuts in etc, and ask if it has the elec coolant pump fitted (you should see it anyway) this is often bodged.
