    Heh, that 4 cylinder opel was soon followed by the worst engine ever!

    Simple really;

    Take one RED motor from Holden
    Lop off two cylinders
    Decrease compression
    What do you get?!?!
    The Starfire (aka sh1tfire four!)

    You could start saying the VL/VN commowhore was an opel as well, opel parts/designs/etc have been all over Holden... i think the best thing Holden did was the family two motor, it was/is/shall forever more be EVERYWHERE

    well the idea of cut off 2 cylinders is corect for starfire but starfire is the 1.6L ohv coz if u look at my 1.9Lohc OPEL the intake exhaust is on the right while the crapfire and the old red are on the left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Click here to enlarge :twisted:
