My previous car was a Triple 8 CDTI, but its replacement is going to be a bit of a one off


I took a 8 month old Astra 1.9 CDTI Estate, and have added the VXR front end (first in the UK, even Vauxhall said it couldnt be done) VX Racing Gloss black Alloys, VX Racing AP 4 Pot brakes (www.vxrperformance.co.uk), Diesel Tuning UK -CRD2 system (www.diesel-performance.co.uk) (rolling roaded at 207.6bhp and 313lbft)

Hope you like.....













Next mods are a set of these



Then a new turbo and FMIC, re-map which should take her to 230-240bhp and 360-380lbft.

Hope u like

Not sure about the diesel thing, I'm running diesel (navara aventura) and am watching diesel get more expensive. I remember when diesel was a fraction of the price of petrol, now they're selling even more, it's more expensive, what happened to the laws of supply and demand ? Bio fuels are the future.........."Gentlemen start your chip pans". And then when we move to Bio fuels, they will jack the price of that up !

Not bad motor!! I prefer this one to the other Vauxhall, a much better job has been done with it. The wheels really work and so does the bodykit.
