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 memorys :luvlove:
It was the first car i ever tried to get insured on the day i turned 17, but iirc they wanted around £2750 :eek: 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 :norty:
Big thumbs up from me tho with ur gsi :thumb: good choice :D

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

Last I heard it was somewhere between 230bhp-300bhp. :confused: Any guess will do. :lol1:

Sorry for thread hijack. :)
