Today i saw what looked like an astra sri, but it had a red badge on instead of the holden.
It was like a red box with a slahy R on it
anyone know if this is some sor of tuning company or sumthing?

I have a strange feeling its a limited edition Type R Astra of some sort, more then likely tuned by Nissmo or TRD, very rare.... :lol:

Astra typeR's only come out in japan. They're illegal to import to australia coz of the highly tuned engine exceeds our emission ADR's. you can find out more about this at:

why would nismo or TRD tune an Astra? Im sure it's just some bloke putting some "sick" looking badge on his car not knowing what it means

The top 3 are Subaru
the Middle 4 (i) are Isuzu Irmsher Grill Badges for: Gemini,Bighorn(Jackeroo)Monterey.
Last 3 look to be Honda Type R Badges for Civic,Integra.

Ya probably right in a Way. I have thesame Black i Badge off a 1994 Isuzu Irmsher R. But Isuzu,Subaru and Honda are all the same Company.

I've seen pink 'i' badges on a heap of STi's, i think it's just an alternative STi badge, they also have a rabbit badge aswell
