just joined up so thought id introduce myself and put up some pics of my car.

my names jordan and im from ipswich, i own a vauxhall astra but please dont judge me for it lol.

im not one of those people that is totaly into one make of car and blindly thinks everything else is crap, i appreciate a good car for being a good car not for the badge it carrys

so anyway, heres my car.....

its a mk3 astra 5 door thats been converted to C20LET (vaux 2ltr turbo), its running phase 2 software so about 270bhp and has a calibra 6 speed gearbox converted to run FWD

 

Hi,
I or rather the gf has a mk3 astra, a little 1.4 auto multipoint, but being modded slowly, got a rebuilt 1600 going in sometime in the year.
pf is very good there are all sorts of car owners on here make wise, seems a pretty freindly place.
I noticed you front lights, the gf has seen some of them and wondered about them for hers, but what are they like performance wise at night compared with the originals, which are not that great.
The reason she has a astra is because I consider it a better car for our needs than the equivalent ford, they all have good and bad points, but having to remove the timing belt to change the stat on "doddy"(astra) pisses me off big time, what a bloody useless design, especially when the germans version had a different pipe so the stat wasn't hidden and could be done in 5 minutes!!

alright mate, am i right in thinking you are the same tabetha as on MK3OC??

yer the angels on mk3 astras are 10x better than the standard ones and ive done the mod you told me about to keep the low beams on all the time.

pick i took a while back of them at night




i dont normaly stray from MK3OC or MIG, im just on here reading into cossy 4x4

 

welcome aboard mate

 

Yes same one I'm afraid!!
Thanks for the piccie, look very very good, I think if the gf sees this it will be more money spent on new lights, I assume that is std type bulbs not HID ?
The permanent dip mod works ace for free doesn't it!!
Just need to do the 10p fog/brake light mod now!

that is with 6k HID's but even when they still had standard bulbs they pissed all over the normal astra lights.

the light went further than it shows in that pic, it was on my camera phone and made it look darker

 

Welcome,

 

Good piccie from a camera phone, I tried the std astra light with the HID kit 5000K, as wanted whitey white(am I allowed to say that ?), but were all over the place, plenty more light but not a pattern in sight, going to try them on the sapphy.
