    G'day from WA! TS/G Astra Cabrio Linea Rossa

    Hi to all my new forum buddies!

    I picked up my new-to-me '04 Astra convertible last week. Click here to enlarge
    What a cracker of a car! Love it, love it, love it!

    Seems I can't post pics yet, but you know what they look like.

    I got me an auto, which I'm OK with (for the first time) coz it's such a cruiser. Not intending to do any mods (yeah, sure....). If I want speed, I'll use 2 wheels.

    Having said that, I'll be hanging around a bit until I get to know him a bit better, and scoping out the tricks and tweaks. So, in typical forum fashion... What's are the weak spots of this model, and what are the recommended first steps in the cheap and easy upgrade list?

    bcnya,

    Cheers Guy.
    Whats an SRI? It's the same year as mine, are they similar?
    I'm guessing SRI-T is adding a hairdryer to an SRI. Right?

    G'day Chris,

    What's a vert??
    Oh wait, I get it. Took a while! Click here to enlarge

    I know a chick in the inner burbs with one too. Little hottie. (Haven't seen the car) She's probably a bit old for you...
    Dunno if she's be up for a cruise, might be a bit blokey for her, but I'll hit her up.


    Cheers,

    Baz

    Theres a few guys up that way which are very mechanically capable and are always willing to help with mods/servicing.
