Ooops Sport Hatch!!!! So I went a bit mental and bought this a few months ago. Plan is to use it for trackdays for the next year or 2 then race it in the historic touring car series. Swindon have quoted £15k to refresh the original 2.0 NA Sodemo engine – (L850 architecure same as Z22SE) and...

Just come back from the most epic trip of a lifetime. Perfect weather, amazing cars and what a track!!! A std engine Z22SE with a few chassis mods can hassle an M3, around the bends...

My bro and I had a track day @ Silverstone last Tuesday, we run nr. Identical Astra-G’s Z22se with similar chassis mods - were a competitive family!!! I have 2 sets of tyres, Michelin PS3 on standard rims & Dunlop DZ03G Semi-slicks on Supertourings. My bro has only Yokohama AD08R on standard...

I also found that the OEM scrub radius is approx. -5mm, so fitting the ET37 wheels will result in a positive...

Hello all, Thought I’d share the best chassis mod I’ve ever done to my car with you all. I’ve just fitted an Astra-H VXR rear axle to my Astra-G 2.2 Sri track car. Why More torsional rigidity (565 vs 260 NM/d), this vastly reduces understeer, same effect as fitting an extra RARB. Less rear...

Drove my wifes 1.6 SXi on std suspension the other day, the front end feels nicely balanced, ultimately not as much grip as mine on B12's but just a more 'pure' feel. Guess this is due to the lower weight on the front axle. So for my daily driving mild track day car I'm thinking of moving the...

Well I've never been one for modding I've always preferred a standard car with the belief that if you want something better then go buy the complete car. So a mate who works for Mazda offers me a free track day @ Donnington last week so I decided to take the plunge and fit some upgraded...
