Sounds like it's coming along nicely!
I still need to get GSi interior for my Astra, already have GSi rear seats, and this sunday I'm going to buy some GSi rear quarter panel cards off some bloke from MIGWeb! Still loads of bits I need to buy before my interior will be exactly the same as a GSi!

Well I could but there are like no standard GSi's out there, plus once I have turned mine into a (standard) GSi replica, I plan to put a C25XE in there. Did I also mention that I'm lazy and like driving auto's?

Well when I have the C25XE in, I don't think I'd be too bothered about whether it was an auto or manual, seeing as I would have 170bhp on tap as opposed to my rocket of a 82bhp C14SE engine!

My 1.4 8v MPi Astra seems miles quicker than my old 1.2 16v MPi Corsa... Must be the extra 17bhp and missing 8 valves!
