I have a black 3 door, and have smoked lexus lights. I think they look nice, not so keen on the chrome ones.

i prefer mhw smoked i think tbh, but you can get the black snake lexus style quite cheap now, theres a place that advertises in total vauxhall magazine that sells them for Â£60.

strange how the topic changed from amanda\'s astra to talking about lexus lights

ahh 2.2 ecotec my wee 2.0 16v corsa is still safe

makes you think 144bhp from a 2.2 16v worst thing vauxhall did was replace the xe

well my 2.2 ecotec can beat an fto 2.0 v6!

and thanks laura, tbh it doesnt cost much petrol wise same as the corsa really, insurance has nearly tripled though!

best thing i done was buying the astra, i would definatley recommend one!

poor fto depending on the model it would either have been 170 bhp or around 200bhp either way there still poo and weight the same as a small counsil house

my 2.0 beats 2.2 astra sri \'s

im so proud

fto\'s dont do out for me really, just a poor mans gto mitsubishi

davie_16v · Post by **davie_16v** » Mon Aug 15, 2005 7:54 pm

actually fto\'s are crap they make a nice noise and thats about it there slow and underpowered so telling us you bet 2 doesnt really say much

well i wasnt even redlining my astra when i was racing, due to the fact that the cam chain going

well all i can say is that it depends on the driver ur racing

i know my cars fast, probably wont beat u cos of weight but who cares, dont even bother wasting my petrol racing corsas now

Yeah, my bf has a 2.0 calibra turbo & when i had to use it for work it didn\'t cost me that much more, could get 30 mpg if i drove it really steady, only get between 30 and 35 out of corsa, prob could get a bit more if i drove that steady but thats no fun

If i had something like it of my own i\'d find it hard to drive it steady all the time, but its different when i borrow his. Its the extra insurance that would kill me, esp as i have to have business cover on mine as i use it for work!

what car have u got now laura! ??

amanda · Post by **amanda** » Tue Aug 16, 2005 9:05 am

yeah i find it real hard not to push it, cos i know i have the power there and it easily flies to 120 and it still wants go

thing is now i have everything trying to race me, most people probably think i have the 1.8, but its nice to the see the look on there faces when i belt it

another corsa. just got another black one, re did the stuff i\'d done to the other one & added a few other things i\'d been planning to do to the last one. Not very original i know but i\'d only had headlights 2 weeks & wheels 2 days! Did think about getting a 3 door astra hatch but the wheels on them are 5 stud & mine are 4 stud & they cost me Â£700. I will start saving soon (if i get another job that is) and I\'m gonna hold out till I can afford an astra coupe as i really like them, ideally the 2.0 turbo but we\'ll see!
