Well, after only 8 months of ownership the astra coupe is being part exchanged cryb..
I decided I wanted something newer and with a warranty.
So I went for something small, japanese and with the same power as the z22se in standard spec 8)
Not sure when it will be ready but I am excited!!! drool.gif

Anybody want to guess what I went for? Just for fun notsure.gif

Lol, I hope so. Stats vary a bit depending on who you believe its 0-60 in 7.2 seconds. It only weighs a smidge over a tonne...

Can't wait to find out how well it goes on Saturday. Always hard to find out properly on a test drive...

Yeah, you normally feel quite guilty booting it with the sales person/previous owner sat in the passenger seat.

well I picked it up and must say I love it.
Overall not that much faster than the astra but on the twisty stuff it feels quicker (but small cars always do) Turbo really kicks in about 3.5k and then it flies...

Couple of pics (in case anyone is interested! dunno.. )

nah, no modding plans so as to keep the warranty :D

Looking around though there is not much to do on it. because there aren't many about nobody seems to do much for them. I thought you might be able to get them remapped but as far as I can tell its a no go at the moment... :(
