heres my new astra as the last one was written off
thought i would spend a bit more on this one
specs
2006 astra h
sri
1.7 cdti
100bhp
rear badge been removed from boot
smd led conversion on Speedo to blue
Front interior light and map lights smd LEDs
my plans arent to do much as of now just few cosmetic changes for now
refurb the alloys
spray the grill black?
i will hopefully get around to getting a dtuk box more performance and economy
definaty a panel filter not sure if induction kits work well on this or not?
been told that it will fuff up the air flow meter
maybe go down the route of a bigger intercooler change the turbo?
not sure if its worth changing turbos on these or not?
and maybe back box exhaust after few changes get a re map
anyway got it friday last week drove it to the bowling meet was absoutly fine
then monday leaving for college and battery light came on intial thought was that alternator going then the power steering was going all sorts aa came and said it was the alternator so switched battery twice before getting home then today ive had new alternator put on and 2 new tyres flipping expensive
£140 alternator
£160 for 2 toyos t1r
also gave it a service nice and easy on these engines
anyway some pictures here now looks 10x better now that ive given it a clean
mmm swirl marks!
comments welcome!
