Hi, Just wondering if anyone knows somewhere in the Sydney area that I can take my Astra VXR to get mods done.

Someone who knows what they are doing...

Cheers..

Hi everyone - Thanks for the response - I have googled the idea to bits - and found nothing.

I look at the UK sites to get ideas - but the Stage 3 remap/Miltech exhaust system or equivilent sounds like the go...not sure on how much its going to set me back though.

Im not interested in the sound or any of that - just want the extra bit of performance I know you can get out of these.

I have had a black one on black 19's since May - they were pretty rare then and now I see a few popping up on the Northern Beaches..Just want that edge you know!

any ideas are welcome...thanks again.

Stage 3 with out an larger Intercooler will make the car struggle. Milltek and Remus are the leading brands that uk owners are using. Milltek has been our basically from a couple of months after the car was released. Both will cost you close to the $3000 AUD mark landed and fitted.

I know it sounds step but they are both good exhaust imo

Go to the VXR section which links to HSVVXR.com I am working on a few things that if come to fruition will take the pain out of sourcing mods for the VXR.

A word used by my friends too...In the title/comment - I didnt mean I was claiming my car was cool...Just that 'cool' I will post some images of it! But I do like it...Just need to tweak the power and I'm happy!

Who said Vauxhall was crap..especially when you hide the vauxhall badge with an HSV one..it really annoys the V8's..I see the undeserving look in their eyes! (spoken with an over revved engine!)

You just need to paint the calipers black also!

Thanks..a risk that I think devalues the HSV wheels...but visually worth it at least. Just have to get the mods done and Im happy.

Calipers..blue on black isnt great..but I think the power is my next fix up - want the black on black to actually produce not just advertise.

It looks fine with blue ,was just looking to make some more work for you!
I doubt the wheel colour will de-value the car,anyhow if somebody wanted it that badly they could always have them refinished as per factory.
You have to be happy with it while you own it!!
