Was looking at these astra coupes before i got my 182.

Was very tempted with a remapped 2.0 turbo. Think theyre 197bhp standard and a tad slower than the clio, would imagine with a map that they would be a monster. hehe

Great looking cars inside and out imo.

Absolutely lovely looking car.

 

[kyle_sxi]

[TJB182]

Nice wheels, but they make the brakes look tiny lol

 

[Riad]

Look top mate

Seen you yesterday driving about worsley with ure mate in his black 182 lol

 

[Pep]

Looks nice.

I think your rear wheels are on the wrong sides though, pretty sure the tyre rotation is against the tread pattern...

 

[AlexS]

Nice looking car that, the Pro race wheels seem to suit black cars.

 

[Phill1978]

+1 sure they come in 2.2s as well.

 

[kyle_sxi]

yea matey my mate had his standard 2.2 on the rollers the other day and got 170 bhp not as much as your clio obviosly but im sure your not after one for power

 

[Russ.]

Astra coupe's/Cab's iirc came in 3 different engine sizes

1.8 Normally Aspirated
2.0 Turbo
2.2 Normally Aspirated

2.0 Turbo being the fastest.

As i said earlier on in the thread i came very close to buying one of these. Really like them especially the 888 version.

the 888 mk4 is a truely awsome car with a switchable map to change the bhp but on long trips the sparco seats are quite uncomfartable

 

[CODGEY 182]

Ill be looking into one of these myself Think the clios going to have to go after 6 weeks of ownership!

Im gutted as its a fantastic car but with the little one on the way i could do with somthing abit cheaper to free up some cash and its alot more practicle!

The 888 looks nice, but that crappy mecano/halfords wing ruins it !

Forgot about that wing on the 888 edition. Your right theyre truely hurrednos. Would actually feel embarased driving round in what is otherwise a great car with that on.

1st mod - de-wing lol

I think the tread on your rear wheel is going the wrong way....would have devastating impacts on insurance if you had a big crash....ad check the rotaion ASAP!!!

On second thoughts there proxxes.....and the rears ARE DEFO the wrong way round, swap the rear wheels over with each other and you will be sweet.!!
