Got my new VXD logos today so got them fitted after work. Pics are poor - will get some better ones at the weekend when clean. Think they are a nice little touch

im guessing its a 150 diesel thats been boxed, people on astra owners clubs started refering to them as VXD's as they can keep up with a vxr (for a while)

Do me a fucking favour will you. 150bhp? Against 240bhp? I don't care how much torque it's got a standard Astra 150 diesel won't keep up with an Astra.

Calm down

I dont for one second think it will beat a VXR, nor do I want it to otherwise I would have bought a VXR

Just think they are a nice little touch, thats all

Even if it was quick, itl have a shite powerband, sound like a tractor and generally be as cool as my nan in the hobgoblin on Friday night, yo.

have you driven one - which a remap?

transforms the car, boosts from 1500rpm to 4500rpm

more then enough of a 'power band'

would give alot of petrol cars a run for there money

and they dont sound like a tactor, on boost all you can hear is turbo boosting

it certainly wouldnt beat a vxr, but like i said, it will stay with it for a while

the 150 is pretty quiet for a diesel, and a pretty smooth drive too
