Greetings all,

Never really been a member of an owner's club. But since i own 2 Astra's now (08.5 60th anniversary, and my new '04 SRi Turbo) I thought this would be the best place to discuss mods for the SRi.

So here i am.

Cheers

Coasty.

The car itself is badged as a 2.2 Though they are easily changed and the boot lid could also not be the original one but of the 2.2 diesel i suppose. The rego papers say 2.0 so having said that it makes sense that it probably is a 2.0 . I shall have to look into it further.

Didnt even think to check on that, still goes like a demon for what it is... tho its not my wife's old Evo 6 ( sadly written off )

Welcome along!2.2 is the SRi n/a engine. If it has a turbo its the 2L.

There is most definitely a turbo there must be the 2.0 with a new boot lid or something... grrr. Ill have to rectify that on the car... de-badging imminent. Or i could spend some cash and rebore it.... who am i kidding the wife will never go for that.
