Thought I'd do a quick recap of all my Vauxhall's I've been through.

First car, Arden blue 1.6 sport, bought it standard, ended up like this:

Second car, Silver 1.6 Sport, this was just a runaround:

At the same time as I had the Silver sport, I had this Stage 2 LET:

I then sold the Silver sport and bought Vectra Supertouring #357:

Then I took the engine out of the LET and salvaged some other bits, bought a cleaner shell (1998 Sport), sourced some other bits and pieces and sent them off to Beardy:

Here, I ventured away from Vauxhall's for a bike. Took my CBT and got this Honda NSR:

I sold the Vectra Supertouring last week, and last night I picked this up:

The LET has needed a few bits sorting, ECU got water damaged when it was sitting around between cars etc. Should be pretty much done now, replacement ECU was arriving this week.

Don't think I'll be touching the VXR, it's pretty much perfect as it is.

They're 321mm Steve, but behind 19's. makes them look small.

Rears are 278mm.

all's fair in love and war

they are awesome car's anyway, and both the st and vxr have their own place in the hot hatch category

is the torque steer really as bad as top gear/fifth gear showed/said it was?

personally, i think it adds to the driving experience and makes you work for the drive insted of just sitting back and relaxing.
