Forums Forums Rennie : Astra GSI 1.8

oh and whoever put cruisewirral on the top pics can you take it off!

Oh aye they definetly suit it Are they 17 or 18's?

17s

I wasnt being funny about the wheels mate. just my personal taste.

i know bud my reply was purely aimed at scoop

ok, so what you got planned for it next then. Doest it feel as fast as the escort or what.

it is alot faster than the escort i raced my mate who bought it got a shit start and was still a cars length ahead of it

love it mate :cheers:

whast the figure differences? bhp?

wheels are fine

scoop gsi's will neva get dated mate!! wider ur scope to more then just a escort will ya!

if i was you mate i'd go for a 2.0 as its only 1 insurance group higher and is about 150bhp i think (not to sure on the figure) where as this is only 125bhp, mines been chipped but i was after a 2.0 just that this one was close and the colour i wanted, i was after a corsa gsi at first but couldnt find a standard one in my price bracket

i know of a red one for sale on mnr, thats a 2.0 an at a gud price
RED GSI 1,300

im seriously lukin at em just dunno what my insurance wud b like 0 ncb an im 20

im 20 with 0ncb and 3 points living in bootle and i pay £1000 tpf+t

cant see that one that you've posted as need to be registered, have registered but need to wait for admin to let me on lol

I never said the car is dated. I said the wheels look dated. Like three spokes are "dated" IMO they look like the sorta wheels seen when max power first came out.
And also,the MK3 astras are dated now,so are Escort 6's to a lesser extent. If you look at a mk3 astra its shape lets you know its an early 90s car. Not sayin its shit. The escort cossie is VERY DATED with its square dash but dated cars can be good(GSIs are good).Dated wheels however,IMPO are not.

Your insurance is extortionate mate.Only TPF+F aswell is gonna make u gutted if u prang it

Mate, get the car up at the back end and check the rear arches out for any specs of rust. In the winter, they rust ferociously if there's the tiniest spec of bare metal. Take the rear quarter panels off the inside (next to the rest seats), you will see if they've started by looking down into the cavity. If they're clean, cover the whole inner arch with waxoyl. The lip under the bonnet also 'goes', loads of stone chips get under there and water collects and away it goes. I just spent an age doing mine (they were completely shot), not a nice job.

BTW, I was paying 1,300 on my GSi, with 0 ncb with Tesco insurance (!!!). I got my finger out and found my old certificates and now pay 650 3yrs ncb with Liverpool Victoria.

mate you chat bad shit do you know that???

cheers,thats me for ya. I speak my mind.Still,the car looks better than it did standard.And standard it was a nice vaux
