this is on a vauxhall forum about an astra.

converted from 1.8 and 125bhp to z20let turbo and 270bhp.
it has 18inch alloys lowered 60mm has vxr turbo and full stainless exhaust system front mounted intercooler and a cone filter.
it was remapped and made 252bhp at only 12 psi with a standard intercooler but most of it was behind the bumper but now it is getting more air to it as the cooler sits at the bottom of the bumper and the boost has been turned up to 18 psi.
The brakes are gsi front with standard sri rears but it has grooved dics all round with red stuff race pads all round too.
I can really annoy impreza drivers as my car is quicker off the line then them but they can corner better than me 1 P1 driver got pissed off at me that when he got in front of me he hit his brakes what a soar losser.

haha obviously thinks his badass lol

 

Dont see whats wrong with that,honest,he prob can keep up with impreza`s,why wouldnt he ??

similiar spec to most prezza`s,maybe he had a play with a uk turbo,they only have like 215 bhp standard

 

He's not going to be suffering the same transmission losses as he's running 2WD, so he'll see more of that power at the wheels. Honestly though, do we really care.

He won't have nay grip, he won't be able to stop and he can't spell

 

It wasn't me!

 

Nice to see that after all these years we are still the 'Meat' the C20 and Z20let transplant boys aspire to

 

True,but in a few more years we will be on par with the Intergrale boys,lost into the abiss of old hat "they were fast in their day" cars !!

 

"soar losser"

Fecking LOL.

 

its still an astra! and he still has a very, very small *****

 

Ok he's still immature But...

Nout wrong with that really! My mate has the quickest Nova in the uk (By Santa pod times!)

It maybe a sh1tty rusty Vauxhall but they are quick as **** just after a few mods! and alot cheaper than Impreza's

I shall be at PV Show Santa pod with the vauxhall-sport-forum.com this year if anyone else is camping ?

 

Rather turn up last in my scoob then first in an Astra... Or on a flatbed as is the case of late.

 

bravo! well said old man

one thing astras definitely cant go faster than, and that's the price that they depreciate by! dont think anybody could beat that

 

hahahahahaha, what a loser! hes probably spent so much on it he could had one of our beasts that he feels he needs to compare his small **** car to!!

 

Mine has gone up in value
And scary as it may seem, they stop better than any classic and new age WRX's

Lol "what an idiot"

 

Throw enough money at any car and it can be faster than Impreza. Just depends on if your inclined or arsed enough to go about doing it.

Like I could send my R32 off to HGP in Germany and have them fit a 3.6 twin turbo conversion which is good for a claimed 640bhp.

But meh.....whats the point?

 

640 bhp is the point....

Buy up some spare gearboxes first tho'.

dunx

 

I hate people like that. I had a cav turbo running 282BHP and ate loads of cars. Fact of the matter is that it's down to the driver on the day..
