sounds pretty good.
Astra got a wash and a price drop.

Inspected spark plugs and found evidence of coolant burning. Coolants pressure test found to lose 20psi over 5 mins of sitting, not holding pressure.
Suspect head gasket leaking.
My car has been doing this for over a year now but never thought anything of it until it started eating oil in the last 10,000kms.
The cause is most likely that the boost is just too high for standard head studs.
Sad panda, still managed a 13.06 last week at willowbank raceway with 202kw at all 4 paws.
New head studs and head gaskets???
Fitter black leather gaitor, looking better internally already!
Next is painting all the plastic strips to the color of the car
How much boost are you running Nico? I know my ej255 warps heads at around 21psi or higher
ah the good old ej25 dak-dak motors!
definitely build it properly :)
Priced up some new HiPerStrut front suspension parts for it off the new Astra OPC :)
4x new tyres.
