That was my nova you were chasing in the 106gti.
spec is pistons with deeper valve cut-outs, flowed head, cat cams, btb type c manifold, 2.5inch exhaust, quaife diff, safety devices cage, unichip.
Dynoed at 170bhp before the manifold and system (on a very conservative dyno, none of this power engineering shit), standard 2inch system was restricting it over 6000rpm tho, lost all power, should be good for 180-190 with a remap.
That astra coupe is 260bhp, dont think i did a bad job considering i was carrying an extra person.......
