Corsa looks too squashed for my liking

Astra looks alright though

I do like the look of those VXR's. How do they compare with my CTR?

Hi guys,

Just an update on my car. I have it booked into Thorney Motorsports at the end of May for a stage 2, uprated brakes, eibach springs, uprated rear anti roll bar and an LSD.
The stage 2 includes a full Remus exhaust sytem and an engine remap which should see around 280-290bhp. People have been saying that the LSD helps with the mild torque steer and coupled with the springs and RARB it should be a hoot to drive around the twisty roads around here.

How much is this costing out of interest?

As above, Astra looks nice, the Corsa looks like they've tried too hard - looks like a few chav mods have been slapped on it, innit, bruv

Around £3000.

That centre exhaust just looks a bit too much like an anus for my liking.

That's fine if you're one of these vehicle loving type people... in the literal sense

I must say, i think the astra looks a lot better than the corsa and i think the colour is great.

Looks great.

I would have spent the money on a used Astra VXR than a new Corsa VXR........but hey i'm sitting here munching a bread stick I just found on the floor so what do I know?

Came in expecting a Monaro thread

Still, those don't look too bad.

Defcon5 · 22 Apr 2009 at 19:35

Suprised they dont come with HIDs

Princey · 22 Apr 2009 at 19:44

Yeah that is a shame and its on my to do list. There is group buy going on over at the VXR forums.

What's also shocking to me is that the new model Golf doesn't come with Xenon HLs. It seems extremely bizarre that, in this day and age, a car that its manufacturers wish to be perceived as modern, refined, and fairly cutting edge for a mass-produced family hatchback, does not yet have these as even an option.

No, just the projector lenses.
