    Looks great, goes ever better and sounds good while it's doing it! Awesome car!
    Being a mix of Vauxhall and Saab stuff I'm not shocked it's been pretty reliable to be honest!

      Thanks mate, yeah i think given the turbo thats on it, midrange is pretty good

    I'd forgotten you had that Vauxhall but what I didn't know was that it had a 2.0 litre Saab engine in it. Bit vague on power eh Chris? 250 260. You've spent well on that car. Personally the next thing I'd get for it are 4 Good tyres. Maybe even a spare set of wheels and tyres for track days?
    Another excellent video which I enjoy.

      Yeah ive never bothered to dyno it, would have if i started down the upgrade path to see real gains. Its up for sale at the moment tho, bit of a downsizing exercise 🤣

    Nice one chap the astra is looking awesome thats bit bad as you expect issues and costs, I do like the wheels are they corsa vxr wheels? They look similar to the saab wheels I recently got a astra coupe which I'm planning a few mods you don't see many around these days.
