    astra gsi turbo (slow project)

    hi all

    after selling punto on Monday I put my astra on the road I got it just before xmas, plans are to run a safe 280hp for now then move on to a garret conversion and will be looking to run 450hp+ mods i have done so far are

    fmic
    cross over delete
    vxr turbo/injectors/afm
    turbo back exhaust( will be going custom 3inch when go garret)
    coilovers


    here is some pictures when I first got the car front bumper needs painting as its scuffed but all in all its tidy little car





    decided to play with the idea of weel colours as hated white and going to go with this. .

    pistons/rods but there good for over 300hp if you go for a vxr (z20leh) bottom end come with under piston cooling as standard and forge steel pistons.
    you can pick them up at a good price they come with recaro interior half/full leather cruise control ect.. but they sound awsome with pop and bang map on

    cheers guys, and ye weels looking loads better less chaved up I say.

    so today after work I set about the centre console it was sprayed white to match weels and really needed to go so stoped off at a scrapy to find one thats black.
    also need some advice on cleaning leather seats as they really need bringing back to life.
