opc track day car
Discussion
Thanks
pretty much finished for my liking now (other than the regular track tyres)
I do have a new turbo sitting there and will eventually have it hybrid but I will run the current until such time as it packs it in, and at present its still running sweet on track.
Handling is superb, good controlled power and nice bit of performance, definitely not a hand full on track.
Next up is a little play around with our 1M when it arrives very shortly, the astra will still have its place out on track, easy to maintain and cheap for replacement parts, happy all round.........

Not seen pics of this car for a while, actually since I sold my VXR and stopped going on VXRO... One of my favourite VXR's on there by a long way.
Thanks mate you wont find me over there no more either or many vxl related sites these days........do my own thing now on that side and hang out on 1addicts 1M section mainly
Hows the teg going anyways?
Nice one
still great cars all these years on, hmmmm elise would be my thing over the S2000 but my wife always wanted the honda lol
Yeah still banned (for life), from assisting running the site from the early days to lifer ban the next, ah the site has not been the same for some time, its a corporate marketing tool and controlled as such, but then many already know that. Anyways enough of that crap, that is the past and I have better things on the horizon.......

Thats it
the astra isn't what you would call comfortable or practical these days, its serves a purpose and comfort isn't one of them lol
so the 1M is going to be more usable, much more practical and a blast on b-roads so wont be going down the astra route as good as a 1M CSL sounds, but first up will be a KW upgrade, something new on its way so we will be taking it over to Germany to set up, even I don't know the full score, I only got a test on Monday lol

aircon and all associated plumbing etc
all the sound proofing throughout but re-placed the carpet and panels to give it a oem look, see you couldn't work out what was done form just looking ; )
4 speakers, insulation and side steel impact bars from all doors
