robo22sri 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 :lol: 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 :lol: 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 :lol: 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 :lol: I fitted a vxr steering wheel in the car to but no pic yet!

Also what front grill is it? It has a irmy cross hatch grill, but had a gsi lower grill cut and fitted behind a lumma rep grill The seats are vxr racing recaro from the limited edition red vxrs
Sjdickso Very nice thanks for that really do like the front grill, also your rear ARB seems to sit allot higher than mine.
