Hey Hey - Sydney New to the forum!

Hey all =)

After months of tossing up between Mazda SP23 and the Astra SRI (and due to dodgy dodgy sellers) I have found that I have landed into the path and leather seating of a red Astra SRI.

I am from Sydney and my Lancer was written off, so cha-ching with the NRMA cheque and this is where the Astra has come from.

I am looking at getting straight onto the mod bus and am now currently sourcing

Lambo/lift doors
Dash LED (blue)
Carbon Fiber bonnet

Break callipers
GPS/Screen replacement
Wheels/rims.

That is pretty much it. some of your cars are very nice and I hope that I end up catching up with some of you people soon.

Cheers and greetings!

Welcome! Although it sounds like you've already got it sorted here's a few links that may help: Lambo (http://shop.ebay.de/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38&_nkw=astra+lsd&_sacat=See-All-Categories), CF bonnet (http://www.vxronline.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=61769&highlight=carbon+bonnet), Brakes (http://i28.tinypic.com/2qbt2so.jpg) (Walkinshaw - $2100), OEM 6.5" CID (http://shop.ebay.de/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m38.l1313&_nkw=astra+cid&_sacat=See-All-Categories). Must say quite the shopping list!

Is it the 2.2L or the 1.8 :)?

Hello and Welcome matey.

Do you mean CF vinyl or the whole bonnet CF? Not much difference in weight but the price will knock you out.

Good luck with the mods and put some pics up!

Nah, I won't do Vinyl, if it's worth doing, it's worth doing propper. One of my mates imports from Taiwan and he is scouting around for a full CF bonnet. =)

Thanks all for the warm welcome! I will try and get some pictures up of my car soon!

I live in the Burwood area. :)

I looked at a few different sets of Lambo door hinges but didn't like the fact that the modifications quite often don't let you change them back,ie cutting the stock hinges off. Also on the Astra, you have to modify the guard as well...if I remember right. They look shit hot tho.
