bought the car last may with 50k on the clock fsh and already running about 260bhp.
here are the pics when i get it, it was a steal so had to see it to believe it
i had the car like this for about 4 weeks before i decided i didnt like the cream so got a retrimmed astra gsi interior ans sprayed my centre dash to match.
next i got a genuine gsi front bumper which i had sprayed and fitted by a mate.
a short trim to romax in stockton for the wheels to be done in gloss backand i was happy with the car
i got a bit bored of the performace so i decided to get the eds manifold and top hat fitted and made 307bhp on phase 3.5 eds and its a flying machine as you can the the inlet mani makes it pull to 7k
my current spec is
eds 3.5 325ps map
vxr turbo
vxr injectors
fse power boost valve
regal uprated fuel pump
eds inlet manifold and tophat
cdit airbox kit with k and n
eds boost pipe
tx coolent hose kit
tx intercooler kit
cobra 3in turbo back system with 200 cell sprts cat ( best sounding exhaust i have ever heard )
forge dump valve and recirc valve
