Hi all!

[vbi]

Hello to everybody...

I'm a new member... I already found some good info on this forum, I hope I can give my little help, eventually.

I own a '01 Astra Coupè Turbo and a pretty '96 Calibra Turbo.
The first is almost standard, the second is a bit tuned and used only for meetings/trackdays. If anyone interested I can post some pics later.

Ciao!

Thanks guys!

Welcome, vbi!

Your Calibra's hot - especially how it looks from the side.

I would like to get into professional car racing - but that's a bit of a pipe dream.

Another WOW!

[vbi]

Thanks! ;) Good to know my car is apreciated over there!
The astra is "ural green", a very weird color... and the interior is the cream fabric one, with brown dash. A bit out of the crowd.

Till now very basic tuning:
PLW 7.5x17" ET35 rims with 215/40R17
Eibach springs (-30mm)

EDS power pipe with EDS pop-off
VectraC induction mod and BMC panel filter
Silicon boost hoses
OPC spark plug cover
NGK iridium plugs
No centre exhaust box and a round 90mm free flow backbox (group N)

Blitz turbo timer/boost meter
Irmscher front grille
Smoked back lights.


I would like to install a bigger IC and do a remap... but prices are too expensive now. Maybe in the future.
