Astra GTE mk2's ALL had redtops. Not all had the Coscast head though. mk1's came with 8v motors. Many many novas and corsas now have redtops!

I've heard of the 1.8's but never seen one? Were these the first ones with the engine from the MK1?

I don't know.

The guy I bought my alloys off has a mk2 Astra GTE with a 1.8 8v engine. Looks the same as the 2.0 8v engine.

I thought the 1.8 8v was an SRi.

2.0litre 8v n 16v were GTE.
