My 1998 ph2 astra GSI

[D4N13L]

Hello peeps,

Been lurking on here for a bit now since picking up my new car. It is a 1998 R plate ph2 Astra GSI. Its only got 52k on the clock, 2 previous owners, flame red. The car is absoloutley mint in every way not a mark on it.

Some pics

Absoloutley love it.

Few little things i want to do;

Clutch pedal is very high, but hopefully getting fixed by wifes dad as he is a vaux technician and says the cable needs a nut added onto the gearbox end of cable to adjust it.

Would like a set of lowering springs (unsure what though, been looking at the konis). The bilstein shocks and arb where rebuilt at vaux about a year ago.

Comments welcome

Dan

Looks a nice car m8... The car already looks lowered to me and if its got bilstein shocks on it then one would guess its been lowered too, just doesnt seem it with 15" wheels on it but there should be a vary large gap under the front wing. 17" alloys look well on the phase 2's

Thanks for the comments.

looks good, still red and original as it should be

 

[Kev_mk3]

id keep it in that condition and not touch it - love to try the wheels over my brakes tho

Looks stunning that does mate, very nice indeed

I would be tempted to do a few subtle things to it, like electric Sunroof, leccy mirrors (if it doesnt have them already), maybe shocks and springs, braided brake lines, but that would be about it, nothing on the exterior, just a few choice upgrades.

Its to mint to mess with the exterior

electric sunroof - easy job.
leccy mirrors is a door loom change utter PITA
Shocks have been rebuild so wouldnt change them - springs up to Dan
Braided lines agreed
clear side indicators off a mk4

done.

Or dan can have my white one and ill have the red one
