    A big HELLO from Sydney

    Hi everyone!

    I finally took the plunge and bought an AH MY6.5 Astri SRi Turbo.
    It was very hard to decide between the GOLF GTI and the SRiT but eventually gone the Astra as it has more extras and over the GOLF and the $$$ advantage.

    This is my first turbo car, so I will be definitely relying on this forum for making educated decisions in modifications, and servicing!

    Thanks all!
    Jim

    This may sounds stupid, but I was not aware of the VXR model until after I purchased the SRiT Click here to enlarge Thought, I think it would have made little difference as the extra cost would have pushed my beyond my budget.

    However, now reading about the VXR, I am wondering it is putting too much torque and power to the front wheels ???
