Morning all (well, it's morning over here at least). Had my GSi Turbo for about 3 years now, I stumbled across this forum on google and saw some nice looking cars in peoples avatars/sigs that are a bit different to whats in the Uk so thought i'd join up. Cars fairly standard at the moment but tidied up a bit but hopefully a few things are in the pipeline providing my enthusism levels remain high!

Obligatory pics are below.

Cheers,
Tom

Hey mate! Welcome to the site and very nice G you have there :) Are they white wheels or is it just the light (or my eyes lol)

Cheers for the welcomes. And yeah it's the light, they're standard silver 17" snowflakes. The rare bit of sunshine over here must have confused the camera or something! They're a bit kerbed so might get an anthracite refurb or maybe even replaced with something different.

Cheers guys. Gotta say i'm pretty suprised you didn't get the snowflakes over there but i guess it could be worse, you could have got the Chevrolet Astra GSi!

Lowering may happen, but i'll probably get wheels first, at the moment i'm enjoying the comfort. Probably going to get a Milltek cat back exhaust first, and a whiteline rear ARB would be nice from the kind folks on your side of the planet! There seems to be a distinct lack of Arden blue on these forums, complete opposite of the UK!

Welcome to OA, clean looking GSi you have. Have you thought about getting a re-map/tune.

Would only consider a map after getting an exhaust, intercooler etc otherwise im gonna be throwing a few hundred quid down the drain on a regular basis trying to keep up with the mechanical mods (if and when..). You're on AOC aren't you Chris?

Yeah I guess that makes sense, I just did a re-map first and it made the biggest difference. Yup I'm on AOC but I rarely post, just mainly read and do a few searches.
