    Re: What is Your Modifying Preference?

    Strip out everything that is not essential! then give the underside a liberal coat of underseal, job done!

    well with the exception of a 60mm front/40mm rear Spax set-up, polybushed throughout, rear ARB, GTE tie bars and plated TCAs, 16v brakes, competition engine mounts and a 4 branch and system

    keeping the outside as a stock 1.0 Mk1 on Astra GTE alloys

    engine and styling... dont really see the point in moding the engine and keeping the car standerd.

    Re: What is Your Modifying Preference?

    Option one i picked, although little personal touches to my coupe make it different from the rest as i hate being head to head at traffic lights n someone pulls next to you and it screams SNAP...

    engine and handling, and that provides the looks, cars modified purely for the purpose of power and handling look great imo

    AstraF1.6Si C16SE 94

    Re: What is Your Modifying Preference?

    Option one, at least I“ll try to up the engine/power somehow The roads arround here are just bad, no point in addig bodykits as they“ll get torn off fast, also ruins the aerodynamics (lots of drag added), and the looks for me. But some subtle practical mods are okay, like angeleyes (split highbeam for better overall lighting) and slight lowering for better handling, and larger rims/lower profile tires ofc, because rolling on stock sausages isn“t realy safe

    Re: What is Your Modifying Preference?

    Modified engine but modified exterior too, but nice and subtle
    Or if i was putting a stupidly big engine in a rot box, i'd keep it standard and go race Astons for fun
