Hi It's me again lmao

With the floor in the garage not even cold after the dimise of my previous car, I had filled it with my next toy.

I knew I wanted a vauxhall
I knew I wanted a turbo
I knew I didn't want a corsa
I knew I didn't want a standard car

I decided on an Astra Mk4 sri... and then a gsi... and then saw the car below on Ebay.

(apologise for the bad pics..quality took them this aft on my phone)






Rough specification of the car:

2000 Opel Kadett (import) Sri (2.2 originally)
Z20LEH from a 2008 Astra vxr (fsh)
Front Mounted Intercooler
Astra Coupe SE2 Wheels
Aftermarket Exhaust
Decat
PowerPipes
3" Top Hat
Dump Valve
Induction Kit
VXR Turbo (obv)
Stage 2/3 remap?
VXR Brakes
OPC Bodykit(?)


Bad Bits:

Stone chipped front bumper
Standard Suspension
Knacked Drivers Seat
Blue LEDs behind everything :yuck:
Powerflow Exhaust
Gay Air Intake in Bumper


Plans:
Decent Suspension
Proper Exhaust System
Sort outside - paint/buff
Fix Drivers Seat
Change Dash Lights
Fit stereo(!) - sub/amp etc
Reeemap within an inch of the engines life lmao


Today I did my first mod;

removing the 'cross-over' pipe and teeny induction kit and fitting a big induction kit for maximum suckage lmao - pics tomorrow probably

Also bought a 2.5" mandrel exhaust from Turbo_Chris which i collect tomorrow :beer: (and may fit depending on whether the current system is a 2" or not...)


Hope this thread is an enjoyable for people to read as my previous car was
