Yours manual? I thought it was auto

Negative, my car is girly enough without being auto :P

Majority of my time on the road is traffic. Lol

Most is highway for me, so manual > auto

Also considering auto use more fuel and manuals still have cruise control so it's still an easy drive

I've still got the evo here anyway, incase I feel the urge..

Driving the merc is so relaxing though, and coming back to what you said about the evo not being comfy, I've realized what you mean.

I've forgotten what comfort is lol.

haha working on the astra is a bitch, but they dont actually handle that bad!

people track them too, usually the turbo ones of course

willwood brakes

^^^ would buy.

SRi turbo astras = sweet!

If your missus's astra is the same model as my inlaw's astra (the same body shape as above pic), then yep, gonna have to agree they're not the most friendly to work on :yes:

Haha yeah, they are pretty 'firm' to drive :P

^^ why do you hate everything? Lol

Astra turbos are f**king mental cars! They handle a lot better than some of the boats on here..

because i was cooped up in hot kitchens for 80 hours a week for 10 years.

FWD = GAY... true story

what was that about a FWD winning Vic Time attack by like 4 secs?

oh and wasnt it a FWD that got the fastest time at eastern creek at SAU nats?

Haha touche'

That Integra is nuts

FYI nats was at Wakefield

+1 for turbo Astras, they have a mad little engine. +1 for Opels in general.

And +1 for FWD. I love me a good maccas tray slide.

Nick I don't know anyone who does those parts...eBay USA is where I'd be looking.

Ian Thorpe was the fastest swimmer in aus and he's well gay

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
