Dyno run with some friends

The run

78.5 cv's, I was expecting a bit more, I think it's due the Pierbug carb instead the Varajet. I need some Webers in my life! big grin

75BHP is about right for a 1.3 on a twin choke, my 1.3 was 126BHP embarrassment

but I was running a turbo laughing

Yes it is but I was expecting a bit more. Guess it's the Pierburg carburator that is restricting the motor

I absolutely adore this motor. The colour is beautiful. Well done.

How much was the suspension?

Very good work done !
Very clean and it is a FINE example of Kadett D !
Can you please tell me about the sunroof ?
I think it is not factory made .Is it a webasto one ?

I try to find a Kadett D with sunroof in my country (Greece ) without luck !

Many thanks thumbsup

bighed they're bought on a second hand site in my country, but they're new

Dimpas the sunroof is a extra from factory, it's a rare extra I think

I can give you the Webasto part number from my electric sunroof if you like, it looks very similar.

As far as i know , the factory fitted Kadett D sunroof is metallic and from the inside there are drains , so in case water comes through the seal , the inside of the car stays dry !
The webasto one is an aftermarket one maybe the local dealer had it installed .
I think there are two webastos that can been installed to Kadett Ds.
The hollandia 200 a pop up model
and the hollandia 300 an electric slide model ...
Have the hollandias the drain to collect any water ?
Or under the seal is my head ?

Nsx. Are they nk1 astra ones or just ones that fit? Just rears? CN you let me have the numbers off them please?

Dimpas mine is a pop-up version and almost for sure is fited from factory. Don't know if it helps but my D is a Berlina, it as a few extras like full door cards and inside ajustable mirrors, try to find this version or an SR/GTE

bighed they're for Kadett D/Astra MKI, front and rear. See if it helps: Link

Mine has small drain holes that you attach pipes to and let it drain into the sills Shocked

Its a very good sunroof.

NSX You´re living the life big grin

So jelly lol

Ash I have replaced the roof skin on mine, and I am still indecise if I re-apply the sunroof again or not, mine was a factory one, it´s not like yours, is flushed with the roof skin (the glass stays at the same height as the roof skin). It had those ridiculous drain pipes into the sills lol.
Maybe the solution in to make four holes into the valance and make the drain tubes longer to drain the water into the floor.
