      There's no way I'd go near an Astra VXR.
      Your hand would never be out your pocket as most have been thrashed by boy racers now.
      My son is in the middle of fixing a VXR and it's got more faults than San Andreas........and that's the Zafira VXR.

      Soon as someone gets behind the wheel of one, it's floored..... common knowledge.

        I'd have to agree. Anything in those categories has had its nut's kicked most its life.

          When they dropped the c20xe and the c20let things went down hill quickly. Those where engines that could handle a bit of power
          Probably a big reason conversions mostly are done with b204 engines as they seem to be built stronger even though still under the GM group

              Definitely. I remember at santa pod a carbon nova had a xe with well over 200bhp can't remember if it was even 300bhp but my god could this thing move. It was leaving egos dented everytime

                  Where I come from you will find that esp the Swedish tunas have been able to achieve 400 + BHP ( claimed figures)
                  Out of the B204 engine, in a 9-3 aero . Very much a real " sleeper"
                  Esp the early generation, the latter suffered from worn valves (bad idle from cold starts )
                  You can pick up a good example for less than a thousand, ( standard) , and a way you go .
