Manifold was installed today and I am pleased with the result. . Throttle feels much more responsive now. Sounds nice inside but not much different outside so I definitely needa backbox to improve sound .I am working on the rocker cover today. .do I will upload pics tomorrow when I have put it back together
To be honest when I sat in the Astra, it actually was comfy and smooth but it didn't feel nowhere near 280hp... It was fast and pins you into the seat but I been in cars with less horsepower, but a lot more rapid. And yeah, they're so common! Sorry Mr.B, we'll stop talking about Ashtrays on your thread now...
I don't have to lol, I've had vauxhalls My astra Sri and Zafira were horrendous in the mornings, I'm sure I had more lifter treatment than oil in at one point:)
Yeah mate, i wanted to go for scooby wrx sti around 2005 plate but then scoobies are so common. I like the mb as its a wee sleeper and more of a hoot to drive in terms of revs, older car feel etc. Im going to keep mine n spend some dosh on her next year. The coilovers, wide arch kit / flared and rota drift v are a must i think. Going for looks again as the car is fast enough for me! Around £2000 should see the car a keeper.
I can't believe the initial intentions of this thread but I'll leave it at that You have to be a permanent resident in the UK for at least 185 days before you can exchange an Irish licence for a UK driving licence. Also as already mentioned any motor convictions would need to be declared when obtaining insurance.
A guy i work with got done for drink driving when he lived in Ireland and got his uk license taken off him and he can't drive in uk. i personally wouldnt be helping anybody dodge a drink driving ban, like Tom says do the crime do the time.
After spending so much on the colt I thought I'd be able to resist! I live at home still and both my parents are into cars so parts around the house etc are normal! Dad has a 350bhp forester and a Subaru mv pickup that's currently having a 2.0twin turbo put in it (500bhp 700kg). Mum has a 320bhp hawk eye impreza and a Subaru svx! I have the colt and now the civic, and my sister has my old 1.1 colt! All jap all modded haha.
