JTM Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 yeah but most vans dont get flung round corners, they are used for what theyre designed for, carrying shit ZS is 110bhp and weights 960kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted December 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 114 bhp/per 1000kgsvs125 bhp/per 1000kgsmy f23 gearbox has a very long 4th and 5th gear as its designed for us with 2.0+ diesel engines.when i get my power steering sorted i'd like to see how well mine really handles by having a go on a track somewhere. i hope that could improve my road driving skills too. ie make me more aware etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 im sure the astra van SHOULD handle pretty normally with the XE lump as buky said the oil burner lumps are pretty weighty as standard.....i was speaking to a bloke with a c20XE nova a few weeks back, and he said it went like shit in a straight line, and handled like shit around the bends mega power in a small car but too much weight up front for the nova susp to handle.....

JTM Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 I have this feeling that the vans/nova will like to pirouette at the slightest lift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted December 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 havent spun it yet ( )it seems to handle pretty well to say how light the back end is and that its on a solid beam rear axle.just 'raced' a megane coupe 2.0 16v and stayed alongside him from 30 to 135ish pretty chuffed bucky x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011001000110010101110010 Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 the top speed thingy, surly in waynes van having 300bhp isnt going to limit the top speed it will be the final drive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted December 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 yeah it is the final drive ratio that determins the top speed, the 300bhp just help it get there unbelievably fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cultiv8ed ::Chris:: Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Buck i didn't say your van couldn't handle i no it can't lol I was taking the piss out of dumping a heavy engine in a corsa. Yours and waynes vans might be quick, but if you think you can beat me come to the nurburgring after koxx days in april. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cultiv8ed ::Chris:: Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Ye waynes van is silly fast, in a straight line thats why i am challenging them a race round the nurburgring next year if they want a proper race. As i am going after koxx days to germany. My car is only a 1.6 but we will soon see what corners better. Loads of bhp doesn't make a track car.
