    i heard the hid bulbs put out a poor pattern inthe astra lights. i had h7 ones in the vectra and they were fine.

    HID Question (not a fitting question)

    bulb is what gives the colour, the ballast just ignites the bulb. how do you find the hid output and have you got main and dipped working?

    Extremely Rare Digi-Dash

    i have a digi dash made for the vectra to fit that came from the mk2. thought it looked quite funky. but if the guys a calibra maniac, and knows these are "easy" to reprogramme, why doesnt he do it himself? would probably sell for more then

    Inverted_577 's Fabia VRS

    Q car for sure! I love these and had the pleasure of driving in one of the last limited edition race blue ones. Fab little cars! Such a punchy drive, keep an eye on oil though and only use the correct long life grade as that's about the only thing that can kill these engines, low oil

    Project Blue and Cheap!

    Well I tried the Sri wheels out today and it's tight! The 205 55 r16 tyres don't leave much room. Had to remove the rear mudflaps as they were catching but they do sit proud of the arch by about 2cm. I think some lower profile and thinner tyres are needed before the lowering springs go on!

    Saab 2ltr N/A Engine......

    keep as many bits to help with the conversion. when i did mine we found we needed a rad, pipes, pas res etc etc. its stuff you might not think of. drop it on the subframe and you have everything nicely sat there, easy to work on and if you drop it on some little wheels or something easy to move too

    lad steals wheels, and gets the guy he nicked them charged by police

    i think i would have just taken the car, dropped it somewhere nasty on bricks and let the local scum have a go at doing as much damage as he did to his motor when nicking his wheels. gets my goat that the thief threatens a man in his own home, after nicking his gear and then smashes his window...
