    hey 5050 mate, welcome on board! get some of pics up!
    great to see another GSi around!
    PS OzStick my GSi brakes were a bit spongy after a long time of not having the fluid changed, a quick fluid change and a new set of pads fixed that right up!

    My sister used to have an Astra F 1.6L (before she got a G) and it had pretty spongy brakes (in comparison to new cars these days). The braking capacity was quite good, but you did have to push your foot down quite a bit

    One question for you if I may. Every GSi I have driven has had really spongy brakes - is yours like that too? I'm starting to think it's a trait of that model.
    the brakes on my car I would describe as adequate and pedal feel is similar to other makes and models in the same of same class + era
    cheers Mal
