just before anyone says it aint 300bhp that is only a guess it is not far off this though forgot to mention hybrid turbo too much to list

bloody weather has changed now makes for a big handful now (damm u snow ice)

mr.rail83 · 31-10-2008, 16:51

just got astra back

puts a very very big smile on my face never felt any thing like it feels like you keep getting smacked in the chest when turbo kicks in amazing power delivery and drive cant wait to get dyno printout to see how horses but it definately upsets scoobys had one on way home left him looking dejected

intersting to see what other people think of c20let certainly beat scooby, evos on a rolling start i reckon.

mr.rail83 · 04-11-2008, 18:27

had to make a one off hose connector as the astra chassis was in the way alloy welder worth his weight in gold cheers mate

mr.rail83 · 04-11-2008, 18:29

before the engine was all plumbed in still looks sweet (god i love the awesomeness of the c20let such power!

Dell Balallan · 04-11-2008, 18:29

I really like that astra with the orange color on it!

mr.rail83 · 04-11-2008, 18:34

went for the orange just because it stands out loads also when you see it driving down road then you see massive intercooler. also it is not all show it has the go with it which i feel is more important than massive sound system over top body kits
the astra mk3 gsi i think is one of the most aggressive looking cars on the road now mine is easily one of the quick ones lol

mr.rail83 · 09-11-2008, 15:38
