[rickya130]

Nice car that mate!

[coupe-sleeper]

early christmas? my sexual nortech kit

[_Joycey_]

This is gonna be awsome

[Corsa_LET]

Nice project here mate, sounds like youre pushing for big power, hope it all works out, shall keep an eye on this 1

[coupe-sleeper]

yes aiming for about 380-400bhp, im more interested in being able to use the power rather than high hp figures. ill be using the gt2871r with the 64ar exhaust housing to keep the lag down.

ill be ordering regals inlet and exhaust cams next month which should give good gains.

4 new toyo t1r tires this month, mtec vented and grooved front disks, yellowstuff pads front and oe rear as i have no tread or brakes lmao

[coupe-sleeper]

nortech sent me wrong size down pipe and ended up with the custom made 3in milltek race pipe above to replace my 2.5in elbow at no extra charge happy xmas me. now a direct bolt on to existing system. so big thanks nortech and quick to resolve problem .

below is what i origionally got

[coupe-sleeper]

got some new nitrogen filled toyo t1rs at the weekend all round as were bald
fitted mtec brake disks and ebc yellowstuff on the front with me mate yesterday

[redtopnutta]

looking good Big power

[coupe-sleeper]

oh yes and finially decided what turbo a gt3071rs

[coupe-sleeper]

changed my mind again ordered at gt2871r 86ar for the improved response

also ordered steve miltons custom spec high lift cams to help with sustaining power top end and should allow a big more ignition advance in the map

Wicked Bet you're buzzing arent you? Any idea when you'l have it back? You going to show it off at pvs?

[coupe-sleeper]

i pick it up full mapped and run in on the 2nd may mate, not ready for shows yet as its getting a full respray first possible in audi shell white. uprated brakes and a few interior mods. skint know for a few months lol. should be finished for trax

anyone seen a nurburgring astra coupe? ha ha watch this space

[Corsa_LET]

Oh right, ok cool. Will look nice in white, haven't seen one

[coupe-sleeper]

think ther are 2-3 knockin about just hard to make these stand out from the crowd. love the white corsa bet that shifts

[Corsa_LET]

Yea it does mate, raced my mate in his phase 3 z20let & i leave him, even though im boosting at 9 & hes boosting at about 15 on a vxr turbo. Turns a few heads but looks very average compared to barnes & bigron's lol Just like a go kart, its a lot of fun

[coupe-sleeper]

yeah i love it, you would probs be faster than a fair few high power cars being so light with that power
