bloodyt hell!!! very respectable spec there mate. On cam that should be kicking out what, 215-220BHP? whats the torque like on it?

for a second I thought it was going to say 'Got a 16v Corsa so selling the Astra' too - thank god it says what it does.

best of luck with it mate:D

That's the spirit mate!!

By the way, what are those wheels you have on in the first picture there?
They suit real nice...

[Harvey]

So you had some cash left after buying the new pad!

Glad your keeping the Astra.

Cheers mate. Well it put out 198 on 96 ron so I think with the cams in and setup with 98 ron and some longer trumpets (short ones on due to room in the bay) I should be 210+ I hope.

Torque is very good on it even with the ATB diff its a handfull.

I'd never dream of replacing the astra with it.

[weekenny]

That's the spirit mate!!

Wolfrace Genisis (without center caps)

[weekenny]

Cheers Harvey, only have the cash due to the (hopefully) iminent sale of the Evo.
