    Hello from Sydney

    Hi everyone

    Thought I'd take the time to introduce myself. My names Anthony and I am the proud owner of a 2003 Astra convertible turbo. Bought it a few weeks back and at the moment its stock standard but judging by what the engine is capable of I don't think it'll stay that way for long.

    Look forward to getting to know you all and learning more about my car Click here to enlarge

    Thought I'd post a pic as well. Was taken during and after a long detailing process soon after I got my car. Was washed, clay barred and waxed with the new meguiars tech wax. Can highly recommend it for use.

    thanks for the welcome, whats involved in a remap btw? would it cause the car to drink more fuel?

    Took your advice poita and called autovaux on monday for the timing belt and water pump kit. Cost me $270 landed and bloody DHL came while I was at work this morning and now I gotta go down to their depot and pick it up bah. A few more components to go mainly spark plugs and fuel and cabin filter and i'll be right for my 60k which will be due in a few weeks.

    in most cases it's beta on fuel Click here to enlarge, depends how much of it's life is spent on boost and at high rpm Click here to enlarge.
    the remap is only $400 and ask most the people on here, 1 of if not the best mod for them, certainly the best $$ vs KW neway Click here to enlarge

    although gman is constantly between sydney n hong kong, so u might need to wait for it.
