why do people insit on putting tiny plates in normal size recesses. its almost as bad as putting a square one there. or taking it off and putting it in the window screen for no reason

but someones butchered a newish car???

you want speed? put it in a nova

you want comfort? buy a vectra?

and if you want speed and comfort, with reliability too, buy an Astra GSi??

not knocking him, cos it probably took time and effort, but personally I dont see the point

Point of Byron Doing the Whole car as it is the First Mk4 Astra to have a C20 LET that is registered on Astra-Sport.co.uk and it's the first one LMF have sold the M-Tech conversion kit for

Byrons done a shit hot job on the car and it looks really good and he says it goes well.. for what hes paid for it's worth a bit less than a GSi but then again how many MK4 Astra Sri's do you see ripping about and giving GSi's and Sri T's a good run for their money! Engines "SUPPOSEDLY" running well over 200bhp according to the Donor cars previous owner!

as for the comment about puttin it in a Nova it's been done by enarly everybody at some stage top marks to byron for originality in my book!

not sure on wiring mate.. think he sent it away for the wiring to be done he fitted the engine himself tho so money was saved there! i reckon in total he couldn't have spent more than £7k including the Astra as he Picked up the Engine in a Cavvy very very cheaply previous owner was claiming 300bhp tho think Byron will be chuffed with anything aroun 200 mark :wink:
