hi mate and welcome
depending on your age, i would fit a k and n bolt on filter, exhaust. Fit a lowered suspension kit and maybe a set of standard gte/gsi wheels. This all depends on your insurance (make sure you tell them). If your a wee bit older go for a 1600 gte/gsi engine, change the fuel tank etc for a bit of fun. All in all, if your handy with a spanner this shouldnt cost you that much. lets know what you do.

what ever sort of styling suits you , mk 1 sr , or GTE style first thing id do if i had a mk 1 would be fit clear front indicators , possibly lower dont go all max power nody kit style as subtle mods seem to be the way to go now . Nath
I Was Trying To Buy a nova gsi engine for it.buy a gsi spoiler get get a digi dash a nice set of cavvy gsi rimzza mk 2 grill make the bottom half blak strip it out and just give the ****er a crackin polish what you think?
I Know I Can Get A Gsi Engine For Around £100/150 But Can I Get a 1.6 16 v Engine For That Price Theat Will Fit Straight In?
You could get a 16 16v for that money but its a very difficult task to wire if your car is Carb'd. You're best off looking for a 1.3 or 1.4 SR Carb'd engine, all is a straight swap then.
I spent 90% of my money on Drink and Women, the rest I just wasted.

ok scrap that idea but i realy do want a gsi or a gte engine will this fit strate in?
Yes but theres also a lot of wiring needed to make it run. But everything else is bolt in. No welding or anything unless its to strengthen your car, but not necessarly needed.

that idea is no more i just bought a 2.0 astra gsi redtop how hard will this be to fit?
Do a thread search in the TECHNICAL MECHANIC forum, as opposed to the Projects forum. Its been done loads of times.
