Hi all!
I've recently picked up this 2009 Insignia Elite. 87k, 2 previous owners, generally great condition.
Bit of background - I'm not new to Vauxhalls, having had a couple of Corsas in the past. I had this '13 1.7 SRi which had a fair few modifications (Remapped, exhaust, interior overhaul, DPF delete, full nurburgring suspension setup, VXR brakes etc etc);
I've also had these two super scene VAG cars. Both with air ride, rotiforms, etc etc.
But with the Bora shitting its clutch out the other night on the way home from work, I picked up the Insignia as a new runabout/daily driver car. We've got our first baby on the way in the new year, so fancied something newer and safer too!
Not planning to go wild on this one like my other builds. I'll be looking to get the VX Line kit added, maybe lower it a small amount and some OE wheels.
Few niggly little problems to sort out, mainly getting a cambelt/waterpump on it (as it liked to choo on first cold start!) and fix the heated seat as it comes on for around 60 secs then turns off!
