Not been on here for a while, but back at christmas I bought a gsi turbo local to me, I paid a pretty penny for it to 
I got fed up with how slow my 1.8 coupe was!
https://z22se.co.uk/threads/robo22sri-astra-edition-100.23447/
So the car had the following-
03 arden blue gsi67000 miles
Full service history
Vxr turbo with oil restrictor bolt
Forge recirc valve
-31 collins actuator
Turbo back 3" cobra exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, custom backbox (with removable baffle silencer in tailpipe) + turbo-cat titanium heat wrapped
Vxr injectors
Vxr 80mm afm
Direct route intake, cdti airbox derestricted with k&n panel filter, vectra larger air feed
888dan boostpipe & tophat
Hi-flow inlet manifold
Front mount intercooler
Uprated fuel pump (255lph wallbro)
Xev inlet cam with 888 dan pulley
C20let clutch
Rear bcs bypass
Blue hoses & stainless pipes, painted rocker cover
Recent stem seals fitted with retainers
Seant remap 294bhp
Vxr racing recaros fitted
18" astra vxd snowflakes
Let some pics do the talking!
I got fed up with the ride hight straight away and lowered it on some springs that came with the car but it needed more
I bought a whiteline RARB and fitted it
Then poly bushed it!
Still need to sort the rear beam out!
Got bored of the vxr flakes so they went for some oz super t's and bought some rial daytona splits that have had so many issues!
The rials were ruined! was a waste of good money
They had bolts sheared off in the barrels! i had 40 plus threads stripped in them also!
They look good though
The wheels are now powder coated and almost ready to rebuild but have more holes to helicoil and repair!
The car is currently looks like this
I sprayed all of the centre console to match the splits
And a rear griffen to match
I removed the carbon stickers on the b pillars as they were ruined!
Gave the car a go over with the DA and ruined the arch spat
I fitted a vxr steering wheel in the car to but no pic yet!
