      It costs a lot, I have stopped adding up now. You can price all the items up from the for sale section on Mig, do a search on the items you'd want to buy for your project then add up the costs that they were sold for. ------------------------------ Bren, 13.563@108.64MPH York 31st May 2004 Uncareful Owner of a 13 second car.www.astraturbo.co.uk Click here to see Fastra whup Scooby Ass up the Qtr

      seems like a good effort u put in tho probably wont even touch my Astra Mark IV (G) 2.0 GSI turbo 2003 edition....have upgraded its weaker kkk turbo to a "T3 turbo" (direct swop for original +30 bhp), 9 litre intercooler with regal phase 3 software upgrade (+55 bhp) 2" turbo dump valve, 4.5" power flow exhaust system (with 3" straight thru centre pipe +10 bhp)...kinda adds up to approx 290-300 bhp (with original engine giving off 200 bhp)and 0-60 in 5.2 secs...have a quick look at mine its in my photo gallery.can also see more picis at: http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/355108/2

      Ha ha, you can certanly the talk, Why did you feel the urge to slate mine though?. You certanley have a funny way of making a good impression. My car is a wolf in sheeps clothing, even with basic mods I was beating people with your spec, they also could talk the talk, I CAN walk the walk and they soon shut up after they experienced i'm not all mouth. Lean to drive, learn to praise and not slag then learn to mature. ------------------------------ Bren, 13.563@108.64MPH York 31st May 2004 Uncareful Owner of a 13 second car.www.astraturbo.co.uk Click here to see Fastra whup Scooby Ass up the Qtr

      Bren, that car is an absolute credit to you. To start off with what you did and to end up with such a masterpiece....all I can say is top job! By far one of the best Astra Mk3's around. I can only imagine cruising around in that would put a smile on anyones face.

      Thanks for all the kind words, I'm still working on the Astra, always trying to makes things better or change things around. Your comments put a huge smile on my face and make me realise its all worth the time and effort Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

      Always loved the car, just no so keen on those black functional vents on the bonnet, however function over looks. just my opinion. Love the interior looks wicked. Daron24 you muppet, those figs you have are straight off the back of a cornflake box they never often give what they say. get your head out your arse and on the race track my money is on the MKIII monster ------------------------------ Brrrrrm tish!

      Thanks guys, The engine is well over the 350 BHP mark for sure, it estimates at around 392BHP but I cant prove it as it spins on the rollers as soon as the nitrous and the turbo are working.. Thanks to you all for the great posts..Regards Bren ------------------------------ Bren, 13.563@108.64MPH York 31st May 2004 Uncareful Owner of a 13 second car.www.astraturbo.co.uk Click here to see Fastra whup Scooby Ass up the Qtr

      The bonnet vents are air outlet points, the bumper vent is the air inlet, Cold air is forced into the air filter and warm air is then fed out through the bonnet vents. The engine bay is kept cool due to the constant flow of fresh cold air. ------------------------------ Bren, 13.563@108.64MPH York 31st May 2004 Uncareful Owner of a 13 second car.www.astraturbo.co.uk Click here to see Fastra whup Scooby Ass up the Qtr

      love your efforts sounds like one hell of a car to drive and not experience off the lights, what are the most simple mods to do to a astra mk1.4 to get power gains? excellent effort like it a lot is that the stardard interior but just recovered?
