    Newby from the Gold Coast.... Hi

    Hi,

    First time forum joiner, first time turbo owner and first time hatchback owner.

    A few weeks ago I decided to retire my VZ Clubsport to the garage and become my project car, she's been a faithful daily for 7 years.

    So the painstaking task of finding a new daily that was cheap enough but also fun enough to keep me satisfied started, almost impossible as I didn't want to spend too much. Come across an '03' Astra Sri Turbo with low km's.... never thought much of small cars!! After a test drive I was surprised, awesome little thing with good power.

    Still wasn't convinced so I googled and found this forum and done a heap of research.... anyways I got the car and love it, yes I miss my LS2 but also already planning on a few mods for the 'Astroid' before I start on the clubby lol

    Figured I'd join the forum seeing you all have so much knowledge and love for these cars soooo thanks for accepting me.

    Cheers!!!

    I can see that already, it has great package to start with and handles surprisingly well as well. I've checked out flash tunes and they are claiming pretty good gains.
