It's always the quite humble guys that build the meanest street demons😂 I'm not an Astra fan at all but I can really appreciate the work that's gone into this build, well done mate👍🏾
Tbh I dont do Vauxhalls ! But this is 1 Vauxhall I would own. What a beast ! Great colour combo and sounds fantastic 👊🔥 at £17k I think this is totally worth every penny.
@@Dan-ud2jv he should have done an awd conversion then it can stand a chance. But for the money this wins and your not likely to drive a lambo as much as you would drive an astra on a daily basis so think about that
Asif Noaman oh no doubt for the money I’d pick the Astra as it’s an insane car and a lot more fun than the lambo but in terms of 0-60 times and generally being a faster car from a stand still
Nice to see a VXR on here.. and pushing this kind of power too.. awesome!! Imagine pulling up to the lights in this alongside another car.. and the guy in the other car thinks he's got this one in the bag and then the lights turn green.. Lol
Love how he says "It smells of oil" 😂😂😂 welcome to the world of a vauxhall, or more to the point welcome to the world of a LET/LEH. If they don't burn, smell, or leak oil then there's something serious wrong 😂😂
Every time I watch this video I get inspired on how I wanna build my volvo c30 such a nasty build and one of my favorite videos from LLF besides the RED FOCUS MK2 with nitrous
The gearbox in mine could only just handle stock power, and your telling me this guy froze his and it can handle almost triple stock power? Need to stop filling my freezer with food I think 😂
I gotta admit I've never liked the Astra VXR but this animal is a thing of beauty, looks absolutely evil, an evil beauty lol . Watching this vid with the headphones on I felt like I was in the car as well lol, sounds totally mental! The owner seems really chilled and humble as well, another brilliant upload Ricky, you never disappoint with your content bro.
Id rather not. Insignias are best left to the history books. Id rather crawl over a field of used smack heads needles than have any emotion attached to a vauxhall!!
Superb, biggest EFR turbo, wedged block bigger valves, double springs, full forged, Polished head I do not like, but ok... Is it the original oil pump? Was anything done to crank, or crank bearings? Is it 86, 86,5 or 87 pistons, Wossner, Wiseco or something else? Thumbs up for Gripper LSD!!! Awesome car, great video!. One thing, what is average engine life with this setup if you really use it? Can you do 5000 miles without serious wear to piston rings, how much oil does engine consume on rough driving?
I’ve been wanting this on the channel for time man!!!!! Best VXR in the country👀 £17k for this, he’s spent £35k+ on this.. well worth it in my opinion. Imagine it with a 4WD Haldex System from an Evo as well... all that madness to the road with minimal wheel spin would be crazy.
@@4our6ixkwvmz a more traditional awd system. Haldex is the brand name for a product created by Borg Warner for OEMs in late 90s. AWD existed long before

This would be great fun on warmer dry days/nights. Always liked the looks of the H Astra Vxr, the J is so round. The colour of the cage makes the interior, dudes got good taste imo. 👍

Kinda silly having a full cage and not having it wrapped for head/body protection, seeing you dont wear a helmet on the road that same cage can kill u in an accident. Other than that loving the car n d video 👍🏿👍🏿🏌🏿♀️
Matts astra vxr is hands down the best looking and best built astra on the planet I've said it for ages and I'll stand by it! Find me another that looks this good and goes this well.......... I'll wait. 😂 fairplay ric was waiting to see you in this! 🤣
Bubba Zenetti how’s that princess 👸 you’ve clearly never driven one so seeing as I own one don’t you think I’d have a better idea than you now go cry into ya pillow little fairy 🧚♀️
Big Daddy Big Daddy you do realise that 700 is more than double than 300, right? Of course there will be tons of torque steering. 700 bhp and fwd don’t go together.

Everyone's quick to cuss a vauxhall, but when done right there actually serious weapons

MK2 astra is best

Yeah. I have also loved this shape since it came out :)

Always loved this shape of Astra but never knew you could extract that much power out of them! 🤯🤯🤯
What a car! Lots of respect to the owner. The colour combo is on point. I’ve got to say Ricky I enjoy the darker moodier night shoots etc
CJK20 100%
True, he's done well.
Someone needs to do one of the vxr insignias with the awd It would be epic
By far the best front wheel drive car I’ve seen TH-cam. Has so much character 😍

So much character unlike the driver 😂
What sort of mods are you looking at for a 300bhp k20? Also, how high are you revving it to produce that much power?
Na by far not the best fwd, ive seen many Honda's better than this astra
MOT history on this car is hilarious.
One advisory for "this car is awesome"
