Hey guys,

My dad and myself have recently bought a 2003 astra sri turbo. I love the car as i had the 2.2lt as my first car.

Our plan is to turn take it to track days, hill climbs and actual events. We're new to doing this and would appreciate any help, tips or contacts that can get us to our end goal!!!

My first question is. Does anyone know good websites or companies to buy performance/aftermarket parts for the car.

Second- has anyone done this before and knows a good setup etc ( brakes, exhaust, turbo, suspension)

We live in brisbane and are more than happy to give a helping to people too!!!

Welcome to the forum mate. Oh, an Astra g sri-t, my favourite car ! Most bought their parts off German, Dutch and UK companies like EDS, Mtech, Autovaux, Courtenay and Regal. There are much more. Does you car already has some mods ?

Awesome!!!!

We're looking at getting decent stuff but not breaking the bank.
What would you recommend or who?
