thought id whack a thread up about my previous car.
it was a vauxhall astra 888 edition.
basically after vauxhall won the btcc with the astra coupe in 2001 they built 100 replica road going cars to celebrate.
general specs for a stock astra 888
2.0l turbo 190hp
bilstein dampers with eibach springs as standard!(very good)
upgraded 888 brake pads(ds2500 with 888 stamped on them)
888 touring car rep body kit
sparco seats
quick shifter
0-60 7seconds
top speed 152mph
some other things ive likely forgotten
this is number 83 when i first got it.
then i added abit of engine bling and some astra vxr injectors and airflow meter and had it remapped at red dot racing.
nice figures aye! or so i thought untill a month later i when back and the car only made 260hp! red dot were less than usless about this so i started saving for a proper build!
including some very nice parts not usually seen on an astra!
quaiffe atb differential! top peice of kit and really tranformed the car! could take a round about without braking it just made the car turn lol
