Re: Astra Coupe Tub

Thats a nice looking coupe. What other plans do you have for it? It certainly looks slammed (photo shopped?). How much will the coilovers lower it by?

Re: Astra Coupe Tub

Thanks for the comments guys,

I think the 2.2 box has made a difference however with the weather being so bad its been wet since, making hard acceleration a little tricky it makes the noise from the turbo a lot more noticable though.

The last pic is a shop to get an idea of how it will look, I am ordering the coilovers later this month should be able to -80mm with them, if its not enough I have sent springs to coilsprings.co.uk before for modification (we shall see).

Other plans include a wheel change, I know what I want but dont want to reveal that. Then full exhaust system, followed by a stage 1 map.

However money is the problem as trying to save for a house at the moment too

Re: Astra Coupe Tub

Well its been a while and progress slow. However santa arrived and I have now got the astra lowered and got some gauges to go in over the next few weeks.

I am planning on putting the gauges into the headunit slot above the heater controls and moving the head unit down.

Heres some pics anyway







I hope you like
