OMG thats a sexy car. i love the look of the front. but a 1.6. ive always been a fan of larger displacement engines. is the 1.6 going to be used on all the astras or are certain variants going to be getting a 2l turbo?

VXR/OPC gets 2.0l T 300bhp mechancial LSD and Hyperstrut ( similar to Revoknuckle on Focus RS )

Bottom grille looks like Mazda 3 "Joker", otherwise, that is amazing. I would definately be happy with one of these in the VXR/OPC version

overcourse this 1.6 has great potential too! (except for the fact it burns out the 4th piston really easy! if its the z16ler/h) but EDS tuned one upto around 200hp atw

Nice...good aesthetic add ons by Irmy, Love it !!!

As always with the AJ there's alot to like...

Can't wait to see the production VXR and twin top variants...

And so wrapped new Astras will once again be available here :)

That is a fuelling issue on tuned cars or lack of it to be more specific,not enough fuel getting to piston 4.
There was a detailed explanation why this is occuring on VXR Online from memory.

That is indeed a modern day dilemma for a car enthusiast...ie. there's too much choice :D

Whatever price point you buy in, there's so much choice which can be as bad as it is good...
