    nice ride! love the colour

    I just purchased a astra coupe 2005 with a turbo bodykit, looks very sporty. I didn't know what forum to join and this place looks like the place to be for ideas and concepts with these models !

I'm not sure I want to do it while the car is in warranty but it does sound appealing, message me if you like and i'll send you the details.
    I have the new Astra 1.6 turbo as well, in sports tourer automatic. I also find the Transmission a bit laggy and not as smooth as I would like. What tune were you referring to? Is it an engine and Transmission tune or just the later?

    Thanks harley, love the colour too with the big 19's - I've had some nice comments on it so far.

    rocky424, visit www.jrtuning.co.uk

    Specifically on transmission; http://www.jrtuning.co.uk/gearbox-re...utomatic.shtml

    This is the communication I got from them regarding the tune;

    Gearbox software on this vehicle concentrates on smoothing out the shifts, speeding up the shifts and it also relaxes the transmission control modules torque limiters. The latter won’t make a great deal of difference unless the engine has already been remapped. If the engine has been mapped, you’re likely hitting the gearbox TCU’s torque limiters now.. In which case mapping the gearbox will release a little extra power too.

    Hey harley, like the AH's in Red with the turbo body kits. I was looking at buying a Red AH VXR at one stage, the colour really suits the car (like it does the new one I rekon) I'm up at Avalon Click here to enlarge
