Thought i may aswell put up may Astra as im in the middle of changing the wheels and suspension.
The car is a 2003 Arden Blue Astra GSI, done 43k and 1 previous owner from new.
Recently had the car to MPG for a stage 1 map and prec at removal.
It made 252bhp and was said that it was one of the most healthy engines and turbos they`d seen on a z20let
Anyway some pictures, quality not brill but get the idea

[Plans are, keep it clean an low miles but im going to invest in some coilovers and a set of 18" astra vxr alloys with 215 35 18s

Im slightly jealous you have this and the corsa.lol ive owned a c20let corsa and they are great fun but cant help thinking id rather have the astra gsi. Is it a daily runner and the corsa a toy???

I love astra gsi`s and when i sold my last one i thought that was it, but this one came up and i just had to have it,
as for the corsa, since i was 17 ive wanted a corsa gsi turbo, granted it s gsi lookalike but im still happy with the way its turning out
My daily car is a ford focus tdci (company car) so astra and corsa rarely get used lol
thanks ofr the great commenst guys

I have always loved Astra gsi's but was waiting for prices to come down a bit. Now they are more affordable id love one but lack of job atm makes that impossible.lol i love both of your cars as they are so simple yet so effective. Id have to toss a coin everytime i went out to see what one id be taking out if you have a daily. Lol

Cheers matey, the prices I find are all over the shop and are some really bad examples out there.
My advise is when your ready to buy is look at a few before you decide on one

Very nice, makes me miss mine that little bit more.
Is that on standard turbo? The map alone must be giving you 40bhp.

Was going to comment the other day, as im never normally a fan of the 18" Snowflakes on a Mk4 Gsi. But fair play, that actually looks very good. For some reason it works well, compared to others ive seen. Not sure if its maybe the tyre size, or just how ultra clean the car is. Will look brilliant with a small drop.
