    Hey Hey - Sydney New to the forum!

    Hey all =)

    After months of tossing up between Mazda SP23 and the Astra SRI (and due to dodgy dodgy sellers) I have found that I have landed into the path and leather seating of a red Astra SRI.

    I am from Sydney and my Lancer was written off, so cha-ching with the NRMA cheque and this is where the Astra has come from.

    I am looking at getting straight onto the mod bus and am now currently sourcing

    Lambo/lift doors
    Dash LED (blue)
    Carbon Fiber bonnet

    Break callipers
    GPS/Screen replacement
    Wheels/rims.

    That is pretty much it. some of your cars are very nice and I hope that I end up catching up with some of you people soon.

    Cheers and greetings!

    Welcome! Although it sounds like you've already got it sorted here's a few links that may help: Lambo, CF bonnet, Brakes (Walkinshaw - $2100), OEM 6.5" CID. Must say quite the shopping list!

    Is it the 2.2L or the 1.8 Click here to enlarge?

    welcome to the site mate. lookin fwd to seein the lambo doors Click here to enlarge
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    Hello and Welcome matey.

    Do you mean CF vinyl or the whole bonnet CF? Not much difference in weight but the price will knock you out.

    Good luck with the mods and put some pics up!

    Nah, I won't do Vinyl, if it's worth doing, it's worth doing propper. One of my mates imports from Taiwan and he is scouting around for a full CF bonnet. =)

    Thanks all for the warm welcome! I will try and get some pictures up of my car soon!

    I looked at a few different sets of Lambo door hinges but didn't like the fact that the modifications quite often don't let you change them back,ie cutting the stock hinges off. Also on the Astra, you have to modify the guard as well...if I remember right. They look shit hot tho.
