Right the GTI has pissed me off. Its was used for a grand total of a month befor it started to make a terminal rattle from the buttom end :-(
So i decided i needed a van i bought a mk3 astra van on ebay quickly got bored of the 1.7td that lies within... so pulled it out and fitted a c25xe with a f20 gear box as a daily until i make friends with my ever costly 6
Its not quite finished yet but had it running today

Astra vans ftw, I had a mk4 astra van with a z20let before the 306, keep it looking oem and enjoy the looks on porche drivers faces when you leave them standing at traffic lights haha

yeah, decent tyres and wide rims are a must on a powerful astra though, budget tyres go horribly wrong, learned that the hard way, hence no more astra van 
definatly get a video up when its done though, vauxhall lumps on full chat are sex
