- So while we was at Silverstone supporting Jim with his Chassis number 1 Vauxhall Cavalier Touring car, this beauty turned up! This was the last chassis to be used as a Vauxhall Cavalier British Touring Car, and Jims was the first! We was lucky enough to get a chance to walk around and film this car for you guys, to show the contrast between the first Vauxhall Cavalier British Touring Car ever made and then the last! As you can see, there is quite a few differences!

Thank you for your support, it means more than you think.

The throttle on these engines are actually a roller barrel not a slide throttle. Great video and lovely car.
After all these years, finally some closeups for us to drool over... Thanks!
😂Anytime pal
Very cool love the double front calipers 👌
Nice vídeo! I am from Brazil and I think very interesting to see these touring cars inside. Show us more about this incredible machines. Thank you!
Thank you for watching all the way from Brazil😳😁
Absolutely amazing to see this cavalier. Inspired a lot of ideas of mine when I did bits n pieces to my gsi. Loved that livery aswell. Looking forward to hopefully seeing this car in the next race.
Should be good fun👍
It's good to see how far you have come matey. Didn't realise you was on ere. Well done and all the best in your future
See how the last shell still had the tunnel and knotchs in the rear. For RWD set up. Great engine design too. Thank you for sharing
Our pleasure pal
Simply wow!! Thanks for filming that and provided such detailed insight. Great video
lovely to drive, special memories
Fantastic video. Feels like Car And Car Conversions magazine but on RUclips. I love technical car vids!
Great footage.
I seen the white and yellow one a few weeks ago at croft what a car it did break down though but the vectra did well
Love the comparison between 001 & the last shell and Swindon Rev head. As always mate pucker vid & live the tec specs and info break down. Many thanks Sid
Appreciate that mate
Love this car !
awesome tour and great info
Great vid 👍 love Ur channel, can't beat a bit of old skool
👍Thanks for your comment mate
@@TwinEngineCorsa thanks for the awesome content m8 👍 like I said I love Ur channel nearly seen all Ur vids now lol, this is when cars were fun to drive
Great video. You were expressing surprise that Swindon used a standard C20XE head and block, but the Super Touring regulations this car was built to dictated that they *had* to be. Of course they are extensively modified internally, but Vauxhall/Swindon were obliged to use a production head and block as the basis of the race engine. An interesting bonus if you're interested; Vauxhall used Swindon Racing engines from the Astra MK2 days through to '98. For '98 until '01 Vauxhall switched to using Speiss developed engines in the Vectra.
I love this stuff
Beautiful car👌
Love the rims. The ones in the video and in the thumbnail.
I think the rules stated you are required to use a production based casting .However they would of recieved raw castings to start with.
I think that last iteration used a 85mm stroke instead of 86 but that would be an intersting detail tk confirm.
The stich welding is a better way as youll induce way more heat into the parent material if ran long runs.
What a car it looks amazing! Can't wait for you to see my cavalier 👍👍👍
I am excited myself. I think my son is going to be in contact in the next few days 👍
@@TwinEngineCorsa nice one 👍
They stopped using GSI body kit on this one, standard SRI bumpers etc.
Per l epoca era già venti anni avanti...!!! 👏👏💪1⃣🏅
That’s truest beautiful. What a dream to be able to get up close and personal to these cars. Thank you.
It’s a shame there isn’t a lot of info online regarding the Swindon Engines. I’ve had a look but haven’t found anything substantial. Sorry if it is in plain sight, but I genuinely want to know more about these having owned one.
They are still there not sure what they do now.
Prob do anything for that motor 😂
I don't see difference betwin stock cavalier and this one... 😅
Thanks for share 😉
Epic
Great
What was power and torque difference with the reverse head engine at all? Great video again guys
The reverse was a packaging upgrade rather than a power upgrade .Though as time went by more HP was inevitably made but due to other attributes.
What history this car has
Only heere for the Beer ;)
Do you not fancy building your own reversed heads for the corsa
BMW E36 please! ;)
Never new the did a swindon head i got a coscast head on my c20xe as the GM head's go porus
GM heads flow better than Coscast's
No 🤣🤣 coscast head where developed ^ made by cosworth
That was btcc cars were btcc cars! i think toca has capped a lot now with the current btcc cars, but then again there is no manufacture support now at all.
Who was the first guy to get 300hp on an xev 2.0 atmospheric
Road engine??
I always wonder why FWD cars have their engines in front of the wheel axle. It is quite bad for weight distribution.
It can be done by "just" turn around the whole engine gearbox unit and put the wheels more foreward so the car starts to look the same as RWD cars. (Obviously, when done on an existing unit the wheels turn the wrong way).
Sorry, i don't have understand why this engine have two cams outside the head?
My guess that could handle between 300bhp and 700bhp with tyst chassis as street cars can't handle more then the chassis can handle
the head just looks like it put-on back to front. the cams are reversed
without even seeing the vid yet, no not a reverse engine ... a reversed head which in raceing is not that uncommon :)
nice content tho :))
if im right they turned the heads around due to a rule change.
No, these heads generally have their inlets at the back of the head and exhaust at the front. Think about it, the incoming air flow had to come in and bend back on itself to make it into the engine then the exhaust flow had to bend back on itself to exit the engine under the car. By having the head reversed, the air flow now has a direct flow path into the engine also gaining a ram air effect as speed increases through the massive air duct at the front. The exhaust manifold now fabricated to flow directly out of the back of the head and under the car has achieved an almost direct flow path in and out of the engine with minimal resistance. Simple but ingenious design 👌🏻
Had to stop watching video giving me the shakes
