| My Astra GSi -56k Unsure-
Well here she is. Picked her up on friday night after swapping her for my old L-reg Calibra 16V(xe).
She's J plate with 101k, FSH and I'm the 3rd owner from new.     
She's in bloody good nik for a 14 year old pup.
On the list are 17's  (Kei Force 8's) and a drop in height.
Maybe some Opel badges instead? Yes/No?
Anyway thanks for looking
Its now 19/05/05 and have just had a Pi suspension kit and some 17's fitted.
Here's how she looks now.

| Thats a very nice looking motor thre mate. Personally I like the GSi wheels so would say leave it and just drop it. Opel badges are a lot cleaner looking that the Vx ones so its the way to go.....god I miss my MK3

| Straight swap mate, no money wither way.
Engine is mint. I'll get a mate to take some pics in the week of the engine as I dont own a digi cam yet.
I love it!
Here's me old Cally      
The Astra kicks ass in performance.

Be careful mate.

| Unscrew the retaining bolt, pull the arm from its spline and level it, put it back on the spline and do up the nut. | |

| Nice mate!
I'm a Calibra fanatic but I still think the Mk3 GSi is amazing!
Isn't it great how the standard kit is all smoothed and blended. | |
