I'm some what tempted to bin the dpf, cut it open gut it and weld it back so it passes the visual check, then a remap to 200bhp

Really do like these with the vx line kit but if i was to get one id want a petrol but the engine choice in the petrols isn't the best and would feel slower than what I have now.
How do you find it compared to the mk5 astra you had? as thats what I have now.

The insignia is a completely different drive, it's hard to explain but you feel like the cars wrapped around you and your sat low were as the astra I feel I'm sat on top, but I do love my mk5

My mk5 Astra is the 1.6T 180 but with the extra weight of the siggy it would probably feel a bit slower wouldn't it?
Does the 1.6T siggy have the m32 gearbox?

I did contact Warren and he was the same price to fit a new bearing set but he does his with the box still in the car but mine needed the crank seal doing also so wanted to replace the dmf & clutch while it was all off and he said he couldn't help me complete the job I wanted.

20s are a must on these. I must say I quite like the Pentas too though!

Thinking about ordering an Eibach pro kit this week as aposed to coilovers, I run these on my mk5 astra and like the way it rides. I also don't really want to lower it that much
