there was a rumour that there was only 15 red ones made. However according to Astra sport thats BS. I think its still the rarest ccolour but i remember putting mine up for sale and there being at least 8 other red ones up for Sale at the time.
130 of them iirc

The confusion with the red ones came from the sri turbo's
There was only 50 red sri turbo's made.
Over 100 red gsi's made though, there's one local to me with bk999 vxr replicas on it.
It looks pretty rough, never been looked after,don;t think it's ever seen a polish as it's flame pink.

I keep thinking about selling mine,
Then I log onto AOC and see some new bits I can put onto it 
Really 90% think I'm going to garret it before it's gone.

i cant be bothered with the garrett route, might get some work done on my VXR turbo but thats it, makes nearly 320bhp as it is, fine for what i want!
I also just got a hole engine bay of samco hoses for an amazing deal, just trying to get a deal on some wheels and brakes now!

Im not touching the internals,
I'm going for 300bhp
Courtenay and regal have got 330 safely without internal mods,
Only over 350bhp needs internals

all i've done internal on mine is ARP bolts, and removed the balancer shafts. i reckon you could see 350bhp on a modified K04, hell of a lot cheaper than converting over the Roller bearing!
