Why not? Ill only have my 17s on in summer though

 

[woody-gsi]

I had 17s and just thought they were to big. Then I got the 16s and everythi g became more comfy and felt a lot easier.. but the v6 engine made them spin much more that the 17s

 

[rc]

18s are where its at you bunch of fags

 

[Andy_Mk3]

Take that back. You can call us fags once you have yours on the road

 

[Tanya@ac]

Lol. I was thinking either 15s or 16s, but we will see. I want wheels that are a not the norm, just depends what I see and like. I doubt I will be going any lower than 40mm, seems to get much more expensive!

The word Ripspeed just came to mind

ok so on a serious level what you want for extra power and looks is the following

a street x air filter cone
on the front wings get all your stickers koni sparco etc
u wont need an exhaust system as they now sell just the exhaust tip preferbly with a rainbow coloured tip.
Get a black sunvisor and on the ebay you can get a astra gsi for it .
Dont get it tinted pro because halfords sell that comes standered with creases and bubbles for that curved rear window... also dont forget the spinners.. neons and checkmats then to finish it off whip the heads off and start it all again

Also take the head off and put it back on using all the old parts

Yep, S reg and ive got a bleed valve ready to fit and play with boost. We have messed with the fuelling a little already so now it smokes its tits off :-). And its the isuzu engine.

theres a couple of good builds here with tuning the izusu engines, one going to the extreme of fitting bigger turbo etc...

 

[Mr Skint]

yeah i can help you out with how to tune your lump with the standard turbo etc, but as ron says try this thread for inspiration http://www.mk3oc.com/forum/showthread.php?65061-booooosted-derv&highlight=boosted+derv

 

[Purpledrumstick]

Im hoping to start working on the astra sometime in spring. Want to get it in for paint and get rid of the rust

 

[Purpledrumstick]

Why wait till spring. Its awesome having to work on your car in this weather (sarcasm)

[Andy_Mk3]

[Tanya@ac]

All of the above puts me off doing anything in winter. Im sure my balls would freeze if I had any lol

 

[Mr Skint]
