This van started out as a top
spec Astra Van Sportive SE 1.9 CDTi 150. The history for both the van and VXR
upgrade are on file.
Externally it is in excellent
condition, with no major dents or dings. It looks most impressive when cleaned
and detailed and the interior is in equally clean
order.
We are told that the full VXR
Conversion with extras has included the following:
A 2.0 16V Z20 LEH
engine conversion remapped by RnD Motorsport to 505bhp, with new block, LEH
forged pistons, FCP rods, new steel crank, Piper Sports cams and all ancillaries
etc. Alloy engine bay dress up bolts can be seen along with the Custom T800 cam
cover.
Rebuilt M32 gearbox using
superior bearings, complete with limited slip
differential.
Stainless steel 3.5in turbo
back exhaust with VXR tailpipe.(Brand new Catalytic converter less than 100
miles since), leading from the EDS inlet and top hat and Nortec manifold with
screamer pipe and heat shield.
Turbosmart 45 Wastegate (Turbo
recently rebuild).
Gisfab intake and filter,
enhanced upgraded oil cooler, upgraded VXT radiator and all hoses replaced with
JS silicone.
The vendor also informs us
that the oil and filter have just been changed, along with fitting a new
battery,
The Ksport big brake kit with
floating discs have Brembo pads and are twinned with 19in JR Alloys with Cup 2
tyres on front and Pilot sport on rear with Bilstein B12
suspension.
Inside, the VXR interior is
complete with extremely comfortable Recaro leather seats, air/ fuel meter and
turbo boost dial,re-covered leather steering wheel, Apple car play unit and
speakers and a fully lined rear cab/floor including full
headlining.
The custom rear bumper, dark
tinted windows side and rear and the smart resprayed body makes this stand out
in a crowd.
Covering only about 8,000
miles since the van was converted to this spec, this transformation cost over
£40,000 to complete and the engine cost £20,000 of that. The vendor has
described the engine as extremely strong and runs
well.
Starting, stopping and driving
while on site, this van is a true supercar killer, the ultimate
sleeper.
