Im a Corporate tart :D

lmao!! 0-60 in 4.1 seconds!??!!? hmmmmmmmmm I think we need some proof!!!!

I would have to say that is bullshit!!!!

2.0 16v Nova wanted! ASAP :)

[Anonymous]

nevermind the 0-60 time.
0-125mph in 8.9 seconds. no chance!

TunaFish is the way forward... you mark my words. :D

if by chroming internal engine components this joker means conrods etc. then surely it would flake off. also smooth internal engine components are only normally used in top fuel drag cars etc.

Remember the line from the song "Greased Lightning" from Grease.......
We'll get some overhead lifters and some four barrel quads oh yeah
(Keep talking whoa keep talking)
Fuel injection cut-offs and chrome plated rods oh yeah
(I'll get the money I'll kill to get the money) etc..

They do chrome plate some engine components such as rods, to reduce friction.
Dragster stuff though normally.

haha.....I've just had a look at the spec page.......hahaha.....love the pics too....hahaha

Some of my favourite points:

BODYWORK
*Also added Astra GTE tailgate spoiler to keep the thing on the ground over 125mph.
*Side mounted vent to left rear quarter panels to cool rear wheels.

BRAKES, WHEELS & SUSPENSION
*Upgraded the front brakes to 4 pot twin vented discs.

ICE
*Dont go there its not worth it so i fitted a computer speaker system to boost the cd / radio output to 80 watts rear / 50 watts front.

Security
*?24.99 remote alarm & a samuri sword indoors (no joking).

:D

One clever thing though is the head-rests using Carlton mounts......that actually is a good idea! (if you've not got a 60/40 split rear seat that is)

i can personaly vouch for the astra gte rear spoiler haveing a noticable effect over 100mph!

it keeps the car stuck like fuck!

it does slow the top speed down a bit though, but it sorted out my highspeed flapping about, no probs.
