How do, I'm Richard and I'm from Staffordshire, UK. I've had this Vauxhall/Opel/Holden/Saturn Astra for four months now, bought it completely standard bar a remap which soon came off after it ate three gearboxes (2006 car on 75,000 miles...!).
Quick spec as it stands:
And the bits it sits on:
A few pics, this was the old stance:
Then I got my act together and removed the helpers and wound it right down:
I'd love the fronts flush with the arch but I already have scrubbing issues over bumps and on full lock, any suggestions? Rear is pretty much where I want it but I'd love a little camber and ~15mm more spacing.
Cheers all, I'll see you about
I'm on Instagram if you're interested, @richardbenedwards
Quick spec as it stands:
- 1.9 diesel 150bhp 230lb/ft (Was 185bhp and 330lb/ft but I can't be bothered to fork out another £1000 when the gearbox inevitably dies again)
- Pannacotta pearlescent paint (Jewish Racing Gold to me and my friends)
- SRI leather interior retrofitted by me
- Factory fitted XP kit (VXR skirts and spoiler and bumper extensions)
- Factory fitted satnav
- Colour-coded VXR grill
- Debadged and dewipered rear end
- Cruise Control
And the bits it sits on:
- FK AK coilovers with helpers removed, rears all the way down.
- 3SDM 0.05's, 18x8.5j front, spaced 25mm, 18x9.5j rear, spaced 5mm.
