very good find there dude. gonna have a good read through that now.

edit: is it deffo true about not needing a cat on pre 1993 cars? if so, mines comming off asap. i just didnt do it yet incase its requred for mot?

 

[DarrenH]

on or after august 1st 1992, it requires a cat

 

[DarrenH]

p.s are the scans a bit dark for anyone else ? i know my computer shows stuff a bit too dark, so it might be ok. (the white text on black background specifically)

let me know i'll adjust the gamma and re-upload them

Top find!

And I soooo want that red GSi in the feature. Its like it came straight out of the factory!

 

[jbowman]

Nice one - they did one a month or so back in another Max power/Fast car mag but it covered all astra's.

 

[marko-van-B]

why are the revs figures saying top speed 120mph???

and the 0-60 says 8secs and TV says 7.5secs ???

 

[DarrenH]

why are the revs figures saying top speed 120mph???

thats for the sri and 1.8 16v gsi.

 

[cmc2.0]

Were GSI's really worth nearly 6.5K in 2000??? Fook me!!!!!!

Mindu I was only 14 then and ever since I saw the a Pineapple Yellow 4x4 featured on the Cover of MAX Power I wanted one. Now I have one woo hoo!!

Its not pineapple though

Is it me, or have i found a massive spelling mistake in the 3rd picture ??

In the bottomish right hand side there is a small story on Alan Wright. The say:

"I'm a familiy man, so I wanted a five-door motor four the kids, ..."
