Hopefully I should be picking up a 1.8 16v V-Reg Astra CD by Friday - in black - 4 door though...
Its bog standard and just wondered if anybody can suggest some cheapish mods I can do to it ???
Also - anyone got any pics of a modded 4 door astra ????
Wanna get Morrettes - and Rear morrettes (or whateva there called) and a spoiler - but apart from that - can't think of nething...
Any ideas or pics appriciated !

i h8 them, is a tit near me who has one and nearly crashed into me coming round a corner, he shat his pants got back on his side of road, i had pretty much stopped by now, waiting for him to decide how much and which bit of road to use.
he was going too fast really.
he ended up looking embarrassed and gave me a wave

at the end of 2000 the engines changed to the 125bhp one which is also found in the 1.8 16v Corsa C. Prior to that it was 115bhp, this goes for the SXi and the Sport.
off our site
This is my old one

Yeah love them rear lights on the silver one !!!! And the spoiler off the blue one is sorta what I want...
Bit undecided bout putting a vent in the bonnet though...
So mine (being a CD - not sport or sxi) that be about 115 bhp then ???
Can I increase that anyway without changing the engine ?

You'll love it mate, it feels much more grown up than a Corsa, have a look in my garage for pics of my new Convertible

erm, you can do bits to them, panel filter and drilled airbox gives a nice noise and according to some circles a small increase, full exhaust system helps and maybe a superchip, I didnt bother with mine as it costs a lot to get a lot if you know what i mean.
