had great 3 days with astra all insured etc! i love the car took day to get used to the power but its all good now!!
bad points or problem:-
*blew the air filter hose off once and stopped the car but was fine after i realised wot had happened
*in the wet tonight the car spins up in 4 gear which is SCARY!!!
*tracking was done on sat morning and was 1degree out, need new top mounts tho cos they are bit perished!
*sump gasket needs doing!
so really thats pretty good, car seems reliable tho to be fair did 600 miles in 3 days and cost me like £80 in optimax petrol which i think is ace really for the performance!
as for the speed, 1st and second are waste really, traction is limited, screeches when boost comes on in 2nd in the dry! 3rd is nice pulls really well, 4th is ace cos is smooth and fast! still 5 and 6 are great on motorway! really smooth car to drive!
as for races, had few plays with cars, to be honest tho nothing came close really, not close enought to put up any kind of race! bit gutted really, few that tried racing were, audi tt = no chance, dont even need to change down, audi 80 quatro = really wanted to win off the lights but after 3 set though he pulled in behind us and didnt wanna try again - lol, scoubies, 2 tried for about 10 secs bus as soon as i stared to get close to then to go past they gave up, vx220 = was not grining after, cant remember anyone else!
was ace weekend, back to the red corsa 1.4 8v tomorrow! GUTTED is not the right word to use!

yeah mate, have a play with them, then ruin them when they think they are winning
i was doing really well against a RalliArt EVO 8 a while back.. think he was playing with me tho, got to over 130 and thought i should slow down...
thats the only thing with a smooth car mate, you wont know it till you look down, you will be doing 140+mph
