Alright Matey...

Had one of these for a year a while back. Loved it to start with, but on those rainy days it was just silly....

Only thing id say is that it felt like an Astra with a 2.0t engine in it. Not a car built to be a Gsi...

I would get it lowered asap, as it mad soo much difference it was untrue... even just a 20mm drop on springs...

The z20let engine is a cracker, and with some courtney bits you could have a nice steady 260bhp, wouldnt go too far over that though tbh.....

Good luck with it.. they look the nuts :>

Oh the old Nova Gsi's
Dont give a **** what anyone says, that was the first car i fell in love with (i was about 14) and if i evey won the lottery, i would have one in my garage for sure,

Oh the memorys
It was the first car i ever tried to get insured on the day i turned 17, but iirc they wanted around £2750 and i was dertimed to get one, but i never did. I nearly cried when i realised all insurance companys wanted the same sort of price

I was after a Gsi turbo after my astra sxi, i still really like them, and they do go like stink too, but at 27 the insurance for a scoob had dropped, and i needed some turbo awd power
Big thumbs up from me tho with ur gsi good choice

Had to throw in a pic of my old astra sxi, i loved it so much


Sorry for the rant, i be quiet now

Yeah, but your car is kind of slow

U wish, 400bhp
Last I heard it was somewhere between 230bhp-300bhp. Any guess will do.

Sorry for thread hijack.
