The Opel Coast : Forgive our Sintras

I swear I've seen that car before, in brown with a C20LET in it?

It's mostly brown.  Corsas and other 90s Opels mashed together. It's a paddock beater and will never see the road sadly - no papers and imaginative work beyond certifiable roadworthiness. The creation of a teenager who doesn't have a driving licence. He spent two years working on it.  I have respect and some parts. Can't bring myself to break it just yet as I'm fond of it. I would have loved to a have built such a thing when I was sixteen.

Haha. If mother was on drugs perhaps? Prescription of course.

It was originally mostly an early 90s Opel Corsa B. Don't know if they were available in Oz? Still a load in use here Sausage-Side - as Granny's runabout but more known for dodgy tuning experiments/ cack-handed mods. Mostly derided. Probably similar story in UK apart from the proper unmolested sports models?

Then it got an Audi goatee and is running a 2.5 V6 (X25XE) from a Vectra which is 170hp on a good day. The guy who built it told me proudly that it spits oil out of the exhaust when revved hard! Kwality.
It starts and drives and makes a marvellous racket. Wiring is creative. Before the key is turned , the injector circuit must be switched on with this domestic light switch. It's a horror story to many observers but my son and I trailered it home and everytime we stopped it was like a magnet. We met some funny people and had some good laughs.
I'll post some more pics of its 'features'.

Hells bells that is so horrible d that I like it!

ditto...plus saved me trying to spell it!!

nicely admitted!


it does look like a fully paid up psychopath though...which is probably very appropriate!

Thanks for all the responses. I'm glad it provokes something.  I haven't laughed that hard for a bit.

But, as I said, unfortunately 'Hannibal Lecter' will not be appearing in your rear view mirror on the autobahn, bits of fibre-glass and filler flying off it as it breaches 250 kmph. That's  what he thought it was good for. At least is my surmise

I'm trying to persuade a colleague who drives a base '93 4-door Corsa B auto to fit some of the bodykit after I  remove it. He's a white haired gramps and that'll really give him traction as he rolls into the Aldi carpark to buy his six pack of Karlskrone Premium Pilsener for €1.80.

Picture with detail of 'twin air intakes' with the inscription : Ameisen duckt euch!!! Translates as 'Ants duck down' 
 

I think that engine is a C25XE from a Vectra A (Vauxhall Cavalier her in Blighty). I had one in a Cav and it sounded mint!

I've only lived in Lincoln for 2 and a bit years, so PCM are not familiar to me.

Any chance of grafting some of Hannibal's face on to the Tigra?.......
