Welcome matey !

there is tonnes of info on this site.....you name it and you will get an answer from any one of dozens of members waiting to share their knowledge. Jayastrea is right.....try and get a newer model astra...same shape as what your after but a much improved engine.

Hope to see you round soon dude !

welcome lightspeed.

there is a wealth of information that should make your purchase an easy one - even if its not an astra or even a holden/opel that you go for in the end

i'm from the southern burbs of sydney down in 'the shire'

hope to see you on a cruise sometime!

um well the thing is ima P plater so i cant drive turbo's and also i want a 5 door... btw if u do burnouts in an astra does it mess up anything?

btw if u do burnouts in an astra does it mess up anything?

pretty much only your tyres

[lightspeed]

ahaha yeah but what about the gear box and the clutch???? How much do new tires usually cost??

[btm]

depends on a lot of things really there... size and profile of tyre etc

[ASTRAY]

also astras are equipped with traction control (i doubt all are but id say most) if you try to do a burnout the wheels will spin but only for a couple of seconds and then tc kick in and well, end of burnout lol.
i know on autos you can turn tc off, but manual you cant, but id say you can disconnect it somehow though.

some guys have installed a TC switch in their manual cars
