Hi there :) new here first post.

Just bought my first vauxhall...

1999 Astra 1.8 Sport 3dr in Red.

Just wondering if someone could post the tech details about the car. ie bhp, 0-60, top speed.

Also anything that i should be wary of in the first few months of owning this car.

Thanks!

its 0-60 is about 9s maybe less my brother has a 98 sport. depends what engine is in it the early ones used the x18xe1 wherease the later ones had the z18xe in them. the latter is the more powerful with 125 and the x18xe1 has 115 (my brothers) he had 120 out of it on a privat road and it was still going so not too bad there.

hope this answers some questions

Thanks guys :)

no.. haven't got aircon on this one.. lovely sunroof instead :)

I've done so many searches for the actual spec on the car but come up with nothing. its still a lovely car to drive.. not a fast as my last car, which was a 106 GTI but much more comfortable and steady. It seriously lacks an extra 1000 RPM though !

I tickled it up to 120 on the 'autobahn' the other day still had a tiny bit to it

So, so far we're going for

125 - 128 bhp
120 - 125 Top Speed
9 - 10 Seconds 0 - 60

and have dodgy A/C :)
