here are a few more pics of the cosworth.

its a 1992 4x4 with a stage 3 engine. capable of 350bhp but turned down atm to 276BPH with 266lb of torque. randomly turned the boost down when it was over boosting and i had no boost gauge in at the time. now boosts to 12psi and the waste gate sounds epic lol. love the sound.

only has 81k miles on the clock

as for the st170 it is totally standard. Great drive and a cracking wee car.

First car, got it day before yesterday, excuse the setting, I haven't passed yet so it stays there for now.

Few niggles to sort out but otherwise straight car.

not a bad wee run around for a first car. my cosworth is only my 3rd and the focus 4th. dont go through cars that often. i get ones i like then only change when i find something i want. the focus will be going next year hopefully and i want a new focus ST.

Sorted a few more things on the E34, slowly coming together piece by piece. And given the M5 a bit of a clean again

Photo from today.

I bought one of these in 1995, same colour and 8v like yours. Was such a nice car, I had it for 2 years and still miss it.

Good spot lol

That is a tidy 106. I am presuming it is a Quicksilver?

infernox · 30 Dec 2013 at 11:58

It sure is. Gonna take the seats out when my tool kit arrives and give it a proper hoover the PO had a dog.

Well this isn't everyones cup of tea certainly and most call it quite Chavvy but hey

Its a Vauxhall Astra Coupe and had it about 3 years now and changed as many parts as I can and my aim was to be different than most and not go for the regular modifications that most do in the Vauxhall Scene.

acemastr · 31 Dec 2013 at 10:46

It certainly is.... different!

Janesy B · 31 Dec 2013 at 10:50

I like the colour

rjk · 31 Dec 2013 at 10:53

edit* lol

All good apart from the doors really.

peterattheboro · 31 Dec 2013 at 11:38

Burn it!

Glacius · 31 Dec 2013 at 11:45

lol thought I might get a few replies like "Burn It"

--Mike-- · 31 Dec 2013 at 11:53

What's going on with the bonnet by the windscreen? Makes the car look really tall.

Glacius · 31 Dec 2013 at 11:56

Yea its called basically a Bonnet Extension, covers the window wipers and is just attached to the scuttle panel under that bonnet, had it so long it looks quite odd if I remove it.

I just think its better to be different hence like spending the money on the coupe rather than driving a common "Looking" car, I know astras are old and beyond common lol but least people know all be it in a good or bad way its my car

Do the doors hinder your ability to get in and out as doesnt look a lot of room.
