had it down to 8.9mpg but averaging 27.7mpg combined driving......not really tested it yet though hehe.

Yes wheels not staying but will be on for a while, new full stainless zorst system is in pipeline adding 15bhp & my steinmetz mirrors, which are in bedroom.

05-01-2006, 22:22
they are very nice :) as far as im aware the plactic piping in the middle of the rubber hose that was on the let now houses the boost pressure sensor, it could be the barometric pressure sensor.

Andy_SRi
05-01-2006, 22:27
the rubber bits of pipe either side of it on the lel/ler engine are not very firm at all either, which is annoying, sure regal or similar have some better pipes available though ;)

Andy_SRi
05-01-2006, 22:31
Wouldnt suck flat due to the plastic pipe in the middle, but I just dont like seriously flexible bits :P :lol:

astra H's bay is slightly deeper isnt it? boost pipes look like they have further to go from inlet to cooler that on the g's

Whats OPC Blue?

Think TJ meant if the VXR is red, black, arden blue or silver they have blue calipers...

Andy_SRi
07-01-2006, 00:55
OPC blue = arden blue

The car can handle the power fine!! is nowhere near the torque steer clarkeson was on about either, lotus have designed a very very good chassis.

Yes there would be alot of difference

for starters the front and rear fog lights & side repeaters wouldnt look like afterthoughts on the astra

Astra looks so much better than the focus! The VXR looks more aggresive!

ka$h
07-01-2006, 20:12
I'd have to disagree
With who?
You :lol:

THere's a hell of a lot of difference in looks and performance. I think in choice as well. The demand for the VXR is far greater and it's not hard to see why.

Its the only vauxhall i like and hope does well i actually cudnt give a toss about other vauxhalls coz i think they are boring souless cars. The astra vxr has the wow factor! Parked nxt to that focus it looks the nuts, i think ford were hoping that a crazy colour would get everyones attention away from the astra

There's a long queue there, I believe I mentioned this before he even ordered it and that puts me in front ;) Knowing TJ and I believe his response was that he'd be keeping them anyway, not selling. But that was then....

somebody's stole your engine + filled it with plastic hehehehe

looks mint m8 hope you are pleased with it

i've heard that a chip/remap you can get for the focus gives it more power than the vxr and it still costs less than the rrp. although if you were going for the next level of performance it would have to be the BMW M version of the 1 or the Golf R32

TJ
09-01-2006, 14:21
why would i go for a BMW or Golf R32??

depends which focus u go for etc etc n a chip n remap for vxr is on the way. but not for mine. have some new pics sorting them out now

TJ

i can't beleive u went on about gettin so much thrown in but u didnt even get full leather :|

also, dont get an oval pipe coz its the compelte wrong shape, it looks daft, have u seen that other thread with the videos? think its the miltek one, it just looks too round for the rear coz the rear has lots of straight edges
