Yeah, only "mods" are the polished crossover & tophat, courtney panel filter, plus a full stainless exhaust by Custom Crafts in Elgin. Never heard of them though.

Can these be made to sound like an astra VXR? Near enough the same engine

Note of a VXR is epic IMO

Just off the phone to the guy, seems like a really decent guy, he has close family down in leeds, so explains the mileage . Hes keeping it for me untill next friday as hes off to leeds in his diesel civic this weekend, so with any luck ill be a vauxhall owner again

Think ill keep the main cat, it might already have the precat, im not sure what he means by "Full stainless exhaust". Most likely cat-back though.

Custom craft do some excellent work chris.

That the one I told you about?

Look's very clean, must pop in by my work if you get it, get a ramp inspection.

I'm on holiday all next week to get mine sorted out for road use again.

What size are the disks on the front of these? Over 300mm i assume?

Im paying a good price

They are group 15, 190BHP standard. Same engine as the GSI, different ECU map gives the GSI the extra few BHP iirc.
