Loving the images of the Astra VXR there, red is still my favorite colour for that car.

Nice.
Few questions if I may?

The TX rad, is this std width or full width? (have you removed the std cooler)?
Is the quality of the 3" down pipe ok? I've been toying with the idea for some time now, but yet to see or hear anything about them.

1) The TX Radiator that I have is the turbo specific one meaning I have retained the old intercooler to make up the width. However you can simply buy the XE version to have a full with radiator which is just as good.

2) The 3" downpipe is good quality, very well made (although some people have had issues in the past with its flexi section). What I would say about it is that it could do with a bit more work just to make it a nicer fit, it sits very close to the sump of the engine as it wraps under.

Hope this helps.

Told you I'd get one.

A fair bit earlier than I intended but things came about that pushed me into it (not that I'm complaining of course ).
