The engine is quite strong, certainly ‘feels’ if compared to the VXR even if that was similar power, albeit less torques. Oh i give the interior and engine bay a good clean too! Alloys are all unmarked, It’s still on the original Bridgestone Turanzas on the rear along with disks and pads so it’s had a easy life i reckon! Now all I’ve done is fitted some Good Year Eagle F1’s to the front to replace the horrible budgets so it drives like it should and it really does drive well. I’ve had it a couple of weeks now it’s on about 29k and it’s in pretty decent condition inside and out. It’s in a lovely colour called Cosmic Grey and it’s got the VX-Line kit which is basically just some bigger 18” alloys, different front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper.
Now my car, it’s a Astra SRi VX-Line Nav to give its official tag. It’s the warm hatch SRi variant with the 1.6 SIDI engine with about 200bhp and 221fb/lb so quite good numbers! and the car is quite light as C-Segment hatches go, well i believe anyways! It’s about 200KG’s lighter the previous Astra J apparently.
Below are my past few threads showing my previous cars.Īnyways the car in question is the latest Astra K or Mk7 whichever suits. I still wanted a warm/hot hatch as they just fit into my life perfectly for obvious reasons and the huge range of cars available means you can quite literally cherry pick which one suits and the day! and that’s all i’ve owned since i started driving in ‘08 including a couple of years in a Fiesta Mk7 ST just to name a few. I decided that after about 4 years in a Corsa VXR Nurburgring i needed and wanted a change to something newer, bigger and something less ‘hardcore’ so to speak as a daily.
