Same Heart. Two Different Beasts

[johnsastra16v]

Here are both my Astras.

Both 2.2 16v, but both very different.

Coupe;
Not going to be to everyones taste, but its it custom 90-100mm springs with FK shocks, polished Mercedes segins wheels. Dbilas exhaust manifold. MPG remap @ 164bhp.
Feels faster than the hatchback.

SRi;
GSi front bumper, GSi wheels, bucket seats, dbilas flowtec inlet manifold, racetube centre section exhaust.

Feel free to comment

The SRi is more to my taste but they both look impressive!

I'd not like to take the coupe around the road of Sheffield though, the VXR on standard suspension is bad enough.

How does it feel on the s**tty UK roads?

cheers guys

coupe is very bumpy too be honest, but then thats what comes with being so low.

The SRi is certainly comfier to drive.

Just took it for a spin tonight after driving the coupe from work. and i now think the SRi feels quicker. Or is it just the way it sounds beefier thats making me think its quicker? i just dont know.

I think I will be putting the dbilas inlet onto the coupe, being as though its been remapped and has the dbilas exhaust manifold.

does anyone know if i will likely have issues as the coupe has been remapped?

 

[MikeS]

the inlet manifold should of been mapped, more so than the exhaust manifold imo

 

[johnsastra16v]

what do you mean Mike??

 

[MikeS]

regal sell the dbilas manifold but also a map to go with it

also advertised on regal.de sites

I really llike both. The merc rims on the coupe are smart, and the whole styling of the sri is good.
