So the time of year comes round again to sort a car out for the Nurburgring trip we have planned, Fad had already decided to take his clio, so it left me and willay to either buy a car of finish our own projects (stop laughing at the back) 
After consulting pistonheads looking for great handling cars, looking in the back of evo for stuff that was 5 star rated, we in the end ignored everything and went back to the More door astra that had done so well on the last trip in june
it had smashed through northern europe last time, did an unofficial 10.25 lap, and got us home, but this time we wanted a sub 10, the mission was on 
the car was delivered to me already sporting eibach springs and a whiteline arb
then on Saturday, at precisely 11.17 am, the project began, sponsored by pg tips and some bacon rolls, myself, willay, fad, warreng and my brother luke did this
now with a plain canvas, the corbeau's from my corsa were installed, along with some very nice omp 4 points
onto the tyre front, the 195/5 15s wer'nt going to cut it, so we bought these, and some yoko semi slicks from lee303
we then remeberd the astra was 5 stud, so sold them again, and bought these and mounted them up
and some sexy looking spares (cheers warren)
obviously such delights as the wooden trim and gear knob have stayed for strength reasons (wood lowers the c.o.g)
and the sort of finished article

Does the ring have noise regs?
Cut the car and centre silencer out and leave the standard backbox in place, should notice a difference
The 1.8 16v's seem very athsmatic, they need more air.
