Mk 4 Astra SRi C20LET!

[Danb1987]

After leaving the vauxhall scene for a while I'm now back...

Quick spec of the car from what iv seen

Pretty much standard c20let motor with an fmic and a d/v
Diesel gearbox apparently?? Not looked yet.
Irmsher back box
Astra gte digi dash
17 Vaux wheels
Lowered 40mm
Bonnet lifted
Opel badging and opc grill
Boost gauge in vent
And recaro front seats
Vxr front brakes, Apparently but the disks are huge!

That's all iv seen so far but I think the car is mint, not quite as fast as the impreza I swapped it for but it's quick enough to make me smile


My plans for the car are as follows..

8000k hid kit
Gsi bumpers and spoiler
Colour coded rub strips
Heko smoked wind deflectors
Rear tints
And some decent wheels calibre vintage are at the top of the list atm






Comfy recaros!



Gte digi dash





Cheers for looking comments welcome

what dials do you have in there mate, look instresting

[Danb1987]

There astra gte digi dials matey.. With a carbon fibre surround on them.

[Briggz]

ah i see, they look pretty cool, did you fit them or was it the previous owner? just wondering how much of a job it is to fit them

[Danb1987]

The previous owner fitted them mate but I must say they've done a top job! Il get some better pics later, the quality of the job is brilliant.

[Briggz]

nice one mate, thanks

[DrewyCoupe]

[dopey]

nice car. i wouldn't expect that to be running a let. bet it surprises a few folk lol

[simonsri]

looks well mate, very nice. love the astra gte dash.

[Danb1987]

Couple of pics sorry for them being dark but iv just finished cleaning it and thought... im having atleast a couple of pics (Stupid Dark) :\ The pics dont do it any justice its really looking smart




And finally one of the Digi Dash looking sweet

[Briggz]

you know youve got to take those dials out and show how they are fitted now dont you lol, im very instrested in these

[Danb1987]

I'm sure at some point il be takin them out lol I'd. Like to make the dash brighter?? So it will be coming out

Few pics after today's cleaning and a quick polish....






It's cleaned up 1 million times better than I thought it would, it had been sat under a tree for the last month or so :/ but I'm absolutely chuffed with the results

Hoping to get a gsi spoiler sorted asap and one of the wing mirrors needs repainting as it looks to have been sanded down with a very corse house brick!

[Danb1987]

Little update....

Got my gsi spoiler fitted last Friday.

Ordered some goodies today.... A replica Gsi bumper, a smooth scuttle/ bonnet extension and a roof/top of the window spoiler ( the flat type not the hidious massive type)

Just waiting for them to turn up now and it's off to the painters probably by the end of next week, it's booked in to have... The bumper, side skirts, scuttle cover, wing mirror, roof spoiler, spoiler, and rub strips all to be painted in 82l star silver

A couple of pics with the spoiler...




One of the hids I fitted Sunday, there really bright.



And this turned up today, a keyring that my better half brought me as a suprise! Very pleased with it

[simonsri]

[Danb1987]

Hahaa yeah she does drew lol by the way she loves the umbrella! And says thank you

The lights are seriously bright tbf... Iv been flashed twice in 2 days :/ I need to adjust them down somehow? I had to pikey them onto the car after MFN (involving cutting my old bulb holders and praying)

Well seeing as I managed to get some welding slag in my eye at work yesterday I had today off

Which ment I decided to go to exhaust uk in Sheffield to get an exhaust made up.

I already have a 2.5" system but it was mated to an irmsher back box (as in the pics) that was really quite and not very good!

So I ordered a 3.5" outward rolled tailpipe left there premisis, came back an hour and a half later and it was done

Pics.....






I am more than happy with the results! The car seems far easier to drive now, alot smoother and it spins the wheels up in first on boost, whereas it didn't before

The quality and price elders second to non, would recommend them to anyone.

[DrewyCoupe]

thats where my exhaust came from mate

[Danb1987]

Not much of an update but....

While waiting for various things to be delivered etc and funds being slightly low I decided to spruce up my wheels a wee bit

Then today I decided to do the plug cover the same.








It looks ok for the minute just waiting on parts turning up and getting sprayed then I can order my wheels....

I'm also having to downsize my brakes so I can get the wheels I want 321mm discs are just to big for 16" rims! Il be getting some 308s soon hopefully.

[Danb1987]

Bit of a decent update....

Managed to get most of my parts this week bar the roof spoiler that's still somewhere in Poland :/

Anyways sent them off to the painters, got them back and fitted everything today

Had the mirrors, spoiler, scuttle and bumper sprayed!

The car is slowly devoping some problems when on boost thow so soon enough I thing it will be getting rebuilt!

Pics after everything was fitted... I still need to get some grills and fogs

Comments welcome













Thought I'd took more decent pics but obviously not lol

Hope you like.
