Hey Guys

Dale here from Brisbane ^_^
I purchased my holden badged 04 Astra SRi about a year ago and shes been one of the best cars ever!
before you hate on me, it is in actual fact an Opel (german VIN plates etc) just rebadged holden - Something i intend to change soon!
Almost sock standard apart from
Tints
King superlow Springs
Bit of a bonnet spacer
and i think an aftermarket exhaust (cant confirm :P)

Looking to do some slight modding in the coming year once i fix the Gear selector cable issue i currently have :)

heres a pic ^_^

Looks good, are you saying it's a private import? As apart from the current series of Opel vehicles, pretty much everyone here has a vehicle that was badged a Holden but is really an Opel :thumbs:

In all honesty i would love to bump out a few extra horses out of her, but 2013 is all about getting her into pristine shape
Full service, new water pump/timing belt.
New Upper and lower Sump seals.
New set of treat all round, and new performance shocks.
Re-spray of interior and preferably a non-leather bucket type seat for the driver side (WRX style or similar)
Finally removal of that horrible top-hat intake system, and replace with a 1.8cd/2.2 airbox :)

Once shes in mint condition i will be looking to you guys, to see what the best course of action is.. Would love a short shiter at some stage and then move onto some actual engine mods :D
Look forward to it!
