New car

Well its not new new, its quite old. But new to me anyway. Hopefully should give me a couple of years of fun, without breaking the bank repairing it every other day.

Its a 2002 Vauxhall Astra Coupe Turbo. Few none standard bits, GSI front bumper + alloys, badgeless grill, spoiler. Front mount intercooler, solid boost pipe, bov, cat back exhaust, sounds really nice and it goes well.
Got a bit of a teethuing problem with it, air is getting out somewhere, I think its something to do with the vacuum hosing but i cant seem to find the problem.
Anyway, heres a couple of pictures.







Im sure ill get plenty of stick with it looking like a chav mobile if it was me id rather have had it standard looking, but all the none molested ones were a lot more expensive.

Thanks
Shaun

2 Nice comments, i thought id be getting lots of abuse lol.
Thanks for the kind words! Its the cleanest example ive seen. Wouldnt mind getting a few niggles sorted, its got a stupid cone filter on, which has to go really, theyre no good on these engines. Standard airbox is better with a descent panel filter. Really need the boost leak sorting, limp mode is a b1tch, and it upsets me lol

Nice car. Is it the same engine that's in the astra gsi turbo? If so the z20let is a great engine.
