@rokmysoxbaby Cool man. I got a opel astra f with c16se. Overhauled the motor the other day, new pistons & rings, street cam with degree pulley, head port & polished & skimmed, 50mm exhaust system & induction kit. Still gonna fit a branch and bigger injectors and also a close ratio box combined with a lightweight flywheel. Then ofcourse dyno it to see some results. At the moment I can feel a power gain but my gearbox ratios is killing me, too wide. 100km/h in 2nd and nearly 200km/h in 4th.
@Deathtenation I think either the pistons or the cam is different causing the slight loss of power, it also had the wrong manifold on at the time. I have a 4-branch now. I will get it done again at some point when I've done a few more bits to it!
@Deathtenation Cool looking forward to see it! I keep getting tempted to tune mine up a bit but them im even more tempted to drop a saab turbo lump in it lol. We'll see how insurance is next year I think!
@rokmysoxbaby Haha no shit this is my only car too! I just decided one day that I won't get beaten by another golf! I'll post a vid sometime when I'm finished with the car.

@Deathtenation Sounds good! I wish I could do the same but I need my car 6-7 days a week :(

Camera doesn't pick up the sound very well, it's reasonably loud. No idea what top speed is, had 118mph on satnav though.
andy any more power than that, wonder what top mph is
the c16se makes 100 bhp stock standard... you've gone wrong somewhere...
exhaust a bit quite
