Nice Ascona with Nice girl:)

[asconan]

LOL thanks

[Keiek]

Wasn't a member (or owned an opel :P) on this forum when this tread was mande, but after reading it, I must say i'm tempted to change my current opel to an older one. Only thing that's holding me back is the heater since it's -25 celsius outside, but u don't even have that problem :P.

 

Damn nice cars, can't say something negative about the hood on the last one either. Really nice pain't job :P

[asconan]

Hey Keiek! Thanks for the compliments :)

Trust me, an old RWD Opel is always relatively cheap to build, they have great reliable engines that can produce a lot of torque from very low RPM (8v) and you can play around easily and nicely and get a lot of cc with a lot of torque... People here are used to take the 2.4 CIH engines and stroke em to 2.5 or even 2.7 with 48 to 55 Webers, producing many times 210 hk or more! An Ascona B that I saw in Thessaloniki (northern Greece) a few weeks ago, dragged along with a very well tuned Astra OPC and guess who won? ;)

 

The Ascona had a 2.5 atmospheric CIH engine... ;)

 

Not to mention that RWD is a lot more fun to drive ;)

You can certainly see a LOT of nice cars in bilforumet built by some of your fellow-countrymen :) And they are damn nice! ;)

 

The paintjob on my Ascona is a replica of the classic famous Ascona 400 rallycar. Mine is just a humble 4-door tho :) :cab

Hello Northern friends! How is everyone?

 

Just thought to share my news with you!

 

I recently bought a 2-door Ascona (to be later on rebuilt fully as a 400R).

We have fully re-constructed a 2.4 CIH (c24ne). With the difference it is now stroked & bored to 2.7.

Some characteristics:

 

97mm Venolia pistons (instead of the 95mm stock ones)

Steel rods (BMW 2002)

Diesel Crank

 

everything brand new of course...!

 

Total displacement: 2.676 cc

 

50mm Weber DCOE twin carbs

326° dBillas Camshaft

Kent Springs

47/40 intake/outtake valves

ME E30 clutch cover with 4-paddle perfomance clutch plate

6,5 Kg flywheel lightened and balanced

 

We expect an approximate power of 230 PS with 280 Nm of torque. Not on the dyno yet as I have to do 1500 km first and take it easy up to 3500 rpm ;)

 

The head has had some good polishing for better airflow.

Exhaust is 61mm

 

 

Here is my friend, Vagos Lenas, who built the engine for me in Kavala city (northern Greece) :

Finally got the car - the red one is the "new" one - here's a pic from my garage ;)

 

 

aaaand here they are on the street:
