I also run that oil in mine. :D
Put over 2500km on it in the last 7 days. Over driving that's for sure
It's only taken me 12mth to get round to it, but finally put new wiperblades on the SRi.
Put the wagon up for sale. Got time wasted by one moron. Went over to my brother's to see if I can work out why the gearbox in the wagon is buggered. Pulled the dipstick and trans fluid started pouring out. So, there's probably a blockage in the system somewhere.
Watched it from 17,000KMS away finally turn a wheel at WTAC

Got my front and rear strut brace from omp yesterday afternoon, they look pretty good should make the B as stiff as all you lucky guys at wtac watching Glenn's Astra go around the track [emoji106]🏼
Looks nice and solid.
Will be even more of a go kart with those in
Do the rear braces do anything?? Iirc like the C they bolt to the top of the strut effectively linking them, but other than that it doesnt seem like it would brace it in any way. I may be wrong though. Looking at the front one for the C as its red and awesome =) how much do they set you back if you dont mind me asking?

If you stiffen the front, you should also do the rear to maintain balance. Otherwise you just increase understeer.
Also hatchbacks are inherently weak in the rear. Rear strut braces don't just tie the struts together, they also provide some transverse bracing which helps with twisting/flex. Also, stiffening the rear can help reduce understeer, espesh in fwd cars.
I ran my tank next to empty and put in some clean fuel + a new set of BKR6EIX after the injector cleaner/octane booster I ran through the last tank sent my previous plugs orange...
Finally pieced together an intake similar to what I had on the car before I sold it except I went down to 2.75" (70mm) piping to match the MAF. I can get to the dipstick much more easily this time around and it sounds amazing.
I have large mouth intake snout/piping to run up to the pod on order from TXautosports and catch can on the way as well to finish it off.
