Hey Guys

Dale here from Brisbane ^_^
I purchased my holden badged 04 Astra SRi about a year ago and shes been one of the best cars ever!
before you hate on me, it is in actual fact an Opel (german VIN plates etc) just rebadged holden - Something i intend to change soon!
Almost sock standard apart from
Tints
King superlow Springs
Bit of a bonnet spacer
and i think an aftermarket exhaust (cant confirm :P)

Looking to do some slight modding in the coming year once i fix the Gear selector cable issue i currently have

heres a pic ^_^


Cheers

Looks good, are you saying it's a private import? As apart from the current series of Opel vehicles, pretty much everyone here has a vehicle that was badged a Holden but is really an Opel

Welcome mate

[faneca]

Welcome along. What's planned for it the SRiT?

[abbadonz]

In all honesty i would love to bump out a few extra horses out of her, but 2013 is all about getting her into pristine shape
Full service, new water pump/timing belt.
New Upper and lower Sump seals.
New set of treat all round, and new performance shocks.
Re-spray of interior and preferably a non-leather bucket type seat for the driver side (WRX style or similar)
Finally removal of that horrible top-hat intake system, and replace with a 1.8cd/2.2 airbox

Once shes in mint condition i will be looking to you guys, to see what the best course of action is.. Would love a short shiter at some stage and then move onto some actual engine mods
Look forward to it!

Best course of action id say mate! She's looking good!
Lots of potential for these cars. Enjoy
