side skirts painted and fitted

[Windymiller]

What's the score with the front bumper mate? Is that is, and if so is it made from something special or just plastic? And are you painting it?

[ast20t]

its just in primer thats all,its proper gm one but the splitter has not been fitted since painting it

[Jessop]

Nitron dampers - Nice !!!

May i be so bold as to ask what the price tag was on those?

nice progress, keep it coming.

[james_gt3rs]

Have you weighed it yet? It'll be interesting to see how much you can strip out.

[Thesaint01708]

Looks very interesting

keep the pictures coming please

[spats]

engine for now will be about 290bhp ish
full remus turbo back exhaust system
pro alloy fmic
titan motorsport plate type lsd or quaiffe

Thats the begining of a nice spec there. Are you sticking with the std turbo? What management are you going to run, or are you just sticking to OEM?

I had the pleasure of sng the astra VXR round a few tracks and as standard it was great fun, lightened and with the upgraded parts its got to be mega fun

[ast20t]

with have a hybrid turbo in the pipe line,we are building the engine at the moment with steel con rods and arp bolts,it will all be mapped and set up on courtenay sports rolling road,we have not weighed it yet but aiming for around 1200kg not sure if this is realistic tho untill complete,the parts inc the dampers are all part of a bulk buy from a supplier so do not no exact price sorry
