Hi i'm Andy just thought i'd introduce my self i'm 27 and form milton keynes.

I just got my first astra an sri 2.2 after selling my beloved Nova sport as i needed a car for every day use.

Loving the astra so far and of course its engine i've already fitted the Traction control swith and i'm looking at modding the air box and changing the inlet manifold for the 2.4

Thanks again Guy's been looking round the site look pretty good

got a question though vocky does a by pass for the egr but not sure what that does (other than bypass the egr)

does it give more power ......?

Drakey

Love that Nova, shame you couldn't have kept it too.

I know but i'm a biker as well and just dont have enough room in the garage and couldn't bare to see it turn to rust on my drive or worse get nicked!

I sold her to a collector in lancaster so she has gone to a good home 😃

Matt

That's good news about her going to a collector. Like you said, would be such a shame to see such a good example go to waste.

No, it doesn't give more power.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction sounds like a good bit of kit and a great money saving device
might invest in two one for me and my dad you never know when you might need one.

Have to say i'm impressed that it has come from the club and not a tuning company not seen anything like that kinda skill from any club
