Looks great, prime example of love for the unloved, I reckon that I've only seen 1 Mk3 Astra saloon (Belmont?) in the last 12 months. Wonder how many saloons they sold compared to hatches?

That looks ace!! And there's been a photo of it on this site before!! I spotted it at Dryburn Hospital in Spetember last year with 17" multi spokes and DTM Mirrors. Looked brilliant then and now!

Very tastefully done and mega clean form the pictures ;D, the fact it's got an OE vaxuhall engine is really smart looks totally factory (kinda like a VR6 engine bay).

thats correct Qwertina i was in and out of durham hospital more time than enough as my girlfriend was due her baby september last year, and it was fitted with a 2.0 redtop then, so a year on its changed a little bit,
i do upset a few people i was once sporting a audi rs4 estate that was quite funny,
next mods::::: pillar pod and 3 gauges
Saab 9-5 discs and calipers all round 308mm front discs and 304mm rear discs
4x 3litre inlet cams take it to 208bhp
Chip and uprate the FPR to 3.8psi

He's saying you should put some scruffy mk5 astra steels on it for ultimate sleeper effect. I like it as it is looks awesome. Just the right amount of show to make petrol heads take a 2nd glance but most people would have no idea whats going on.

Mk3 Astras don't rust, I've thrown everything at my two and the worst is rear arches! You can get a V6 for 100 quid these days and you have 170bhp in a standard engine, the GSi Vectras had more! I've got Calibra turbo wheels on mine as well. Sorry, but I think the headlights ruin a non-chavvy car. |
