    And if you don't come across such bargains, don't already have an exhaust and actually wish to rebuild the engine before hiking the power up...??

    Hence why a 2.0 16v would make more sense, especially in an Astra where the big block argument doesnt matter

    when did tuning become about penny pinching, you guys never spent 60quid on a induction kit to only lose 3 of the 5 hp your car had to begin with and still end up with a smile on your boat because of the added noise

    Yeah lad to be honest it was a poor enough forum before and still is even with new management. Thats not any knock at the new lads but the interest isnt there to get people going. I much rather the English forums as there's something happening at least.
