Ill probably go been every year for as long i care to remember, imo not as chavvy as it used to be although you still get the odd few as im sure you get at any show. I think theres a fair mix of newer/older cars to look at which suits me as i appreciate both

you were prepared to do both inner and outer sills both inner and outer arches and whatever else you could see before discovering the floor needed attention so why give up on it now? you were going to do a course on welding and said there was no rush. Im no expert on welding but im sure the floor ca...

I was wondering why it was 'broken' in the pic above obviously now I know. Looks cool and haven't seen it done before

edit the plug cover that is, am i right in thinking you wont run a timing belt cover and the insert just goes in the middle of the belt setup?

leagally yes and probably wont pass an mot without them

as long as the ignition isnt turned on whilst unplugging the airbags it shouldnt cause a problem with the airbag light staying lit as long as everything is put back properly before turning on the ignition, ive done and seen this done loads on different cars and its never been a problem. Disconnect t...

Beware of the m32 gearboxes on the astra quite common for the bearings to fail and require a repair of around £350-400 however some times they are beyond repair as was the case with mine. DMf can be troublesome too. Symptoms are knocking on idle with clutch released, movement of gearstick whilst acc...

Anyone had any experience with gsi astras? Mk4 yep ive had mk4 gsi t and sri t turbodan has too, stem seals are common to go as well as turbos which are £500 to replace, if both these things have been done then there go to go! oh and cambelt too. most have been trashed now i looked at 3 recently an...

What planetc said, bank loans would be better as the car is actually yours and you can sell it should you want/need to where as any sort of finance (be it hire purchase/pcp/lease) you cant and usually incure costs for early termination unless half way through the payments. if you do end up with fina...

From memory, they have holes in the top of the casing, so should be easy to identify. Well, just to update. Buzzer relay was fine. Problems is that the connection to the door switch has broken somewhere on it's somewhat circuitous route via the passenger side?. Fixed by splicing in a wire to the do...

Anyone know much about it? Mrs doing a uni task and needs to change the zoom on normal view and slide sorter view to a certain value which is fine but once saved it never loads up where we left it set to it always defaults to whatever it defaults to! Can't find anything relating to this on google th...

im sure it will just not convinced it will be any 'better' than the corsa would have been once sorted certainly handling wise, but i spose you may have more interest in this project being a cav and all. Any ideas for possible engines yet?

ffs! how is this gunna be any better on track?

which reminds me heres a few vids i took http://s57.photobucket.com/user/vauxtillidie/media/DSCN2910_zps7fcc2564.mp4.html http://s57.photobucket.com/user/vauxtillidie/media/DSCN2941_zpsc99ef3ae.mp4.html http://s57.photobucket.com/user/vauxtillidie/media/DSCN2943_zps5afb78b0.mp4.html http://s57.photo...

Lol, the address looks familiar at the bottom

They're not made up there's a graph to prove, maybe it already has a sports cat or decat I dunno I haven't even seen the car.

Speak to dan re turbo he may be interested

ah yeah yeah same as tt and cupra i remember now lol what is this stage 1 or 2? bit high for 1 :shock: According to jabbasport website these are stage 2 figures, I reckon it would benefit from a decent exhaust including sports cat and probably inter cooler, then there's turbo upgrades as you mentio...

Think there 225 standard

Looks mint Cupra splitter looks good

not been to trax for many years, was like max power live last time i went
