Hehe, i`ve seen a few pulled arches before, those on the ascona looks better than many i have seen ;) But i dont really like the Omega front spoiler, in case you didnt know, the front spoiler from a BMW 3 series e30 is almost bolt on fit for the ascona, and if you get a m-tech front it looks pretty cool too! :) You could give the owner that tip ;)

[asconan]

this is the engine I bought through ebay :)

[asconan]

so, can you guys advice me about the c30se conversion I am about to do to my Ascona? Has anyone else done it to an Ascona?

[Skody]

Nah, why did you choose a huge iron lump like that instead of something light, small and efficient? The only good thing about that is the sound. :phatyo

 

But traction and driveability > sound. Always.

[Mad_Maxx]

Nah, cheap fun those 24v`s :D And they can be tuned pretty well too.. By the way, i just got me a "new" Ascona, its a 1975 Ascona A 1.6 Automatic :D

det var 1.stk driit fin opel hvertfall

[Mad_Maxx]

Ser bedre ut enn den er, dårlig lakk + noen bulker, men det er lite rust, og den er ok teknisk.. Men kommer 80\70 senk og 8.5x13" foran, og 9x13" bak, med 195\45 dekk ;) Og kanskje en 2.2\2.4 med gassere og Getrag 240 etterhvert.. Nok annet å henge fingra i for å si det slik.. ;)

 

It looks better in the pics, the paint isnt so good, but there is very little rust, and its ok technical. I have ordered a 80\70mm lowering kit, and it will get 8.5x13" (front) and 9x13" (rear) wheels with 195\45 tires on ;) Maybe i`ll get a ok 2.2 or 2.4 CIH with Webers on, in time.. But i have a lot of projects already, hehe...

24v in ascona b is common in germany, also in kadetts mantas etc.

[Mad_Maxx]

Yeah, but personally, i think a straight six in a kadett is a bit overkill :D

 

And talking of Kadetts, i got the new summer tires on my 77 today :)

 

 

165\60 on 7x13 wheels gives a nice stretch :D

 

[asconan]

Hello again, the South greets you all! :)

 

Sorry I took so long to reply :)

 

Well, I chose this straight six because

a) 204 PS by factory

b) 270 Nm by factory

c) aluminium head, not iron. lighter than the horrible 12v c30ne

d) tuning possibilities are huge

e) cheap!

 

I also bought these days:

 

a) 4-piston calipers off a Volvo 240

b) Getrag 265 off a BMW + Bellhousing off a 3.0 Monza

 

and I am soon to buy:

 

a) flywheel

b) clutch kit

 

I also got new rims :D

 

Here's a few pics ;)

 

Getrag 265:

(Why does it have the 262 number on it? Could it be a 262 CR?)

 

New rims:

@asconan

 

is that front spoiler and side skirt home made?, if not what is the producers name and where do they sell them?...

[asconan]

@Ascona-B-Power:

 

Nope, they are originally made from LESTER, an Italian firm that made quite a few parts for Ascona & Manta (and not only of course).

The front spoiler needs 2 fog lights made by CARELLO.

 

I can find them around here (Greece) but I don't know if you guys ever had them up there in the north.

 

I have only found for MANTA here in their website:

Opel OPEL MANTA B by LESTER

 

 

PS: My apologies, I only just realized I had posted the same photo twice!

[KadettC16v]

next time im going to kreta, i am gonna contact you :)

[asconan]

PLEASE DO! I would be most happy to meet any of you guys around here and I will try to gather as many RWD OPELS as possible, in a meeting or something for you :)

 

Just let me know on time before your arrival here if you ever come around, so that I can arrange things better ;)
