Looking nice ..

(any info on sorting out handling would be great!)

Have you lowered it ?.. I did to mine and it sticks like s.hite to a blanket..

whooa! is that a z20let in there? thats the 1st one i've seen in a mk3. handling wise lower it (of course!) and i can't emphasize (sp) enough the difference front an rear struts braces make - i bought mine because they look nice, but i was surprised when they actually made a noticable difference in the handling!

Hi all thank you for the comments,

Yes its a Z20, was an absolute pain in the ar5e to get running and after melting 3 pistons on 95 octane i have finally got it all up and running. I have gone with a seperate ECU and have used throttle body off original ecotec. (didnt want to change the whole wiring loom for pedal etc). (have had alot of people ask about Z20's so would be glad to help with any z20 questions!)

What is the best thing for me to buy for lowering? will springs be ok or would more be advised?

how long has this site been running?

Still well glad I have found it! sick of seeing VVOC FFOC bout time there was a MK3OC!!!!!!

HOLY ****ERY! A Z20 in a Mk.3? I'm in lurve!

Welcome to the site fella

As for handling - get Bilsteins! Plus polybushes and front/rear strutbraces

 

[Ben]

bilsteins are a popular choice for lowering, but tbh the g-max springs and shocks on mine are excellent value for money, and the handling is a hell of a lot better. i can't fault them

loving the z20let in the sexy blue astra gsi

Welcome btw.
