Astra H vxr first drive did I make the right decision ?

First drive in my Astra h vxr after selling the corsa vxr

[@davidhaygarth648]

Well made, comfortable interior, lack of road noise, fantastic engines, standard suspension not harsh. Had mine 6 years and still puts a smile on my face today. Under rated.

[@Yodaracing1]

I agree 100% mate

[@thekidkybo]

Nice to see the car puts a smile on your face even before all your planned mods. Can’t wait to see you ‘grinning like a Cheshire cat’ once you start piling on those mods. Look forward to seeing the bhp figures climb. Keep up the great work

Hahah thank you 🙌

Great choice, started watching ur videos when I got my corsa vxr enjoyed watching what you did to yours can’t wait to see what you do to the Astra 👍🏼👍🏼

Great video, glad you're liking the new toy. I'm thinking of doing the same, going to the astra vxr if I can find a nice one but I'm still loving my artic edition corsa.

Yoda, greetings from South Africa mate. I'm in the process of getting my Astra H OPC and I was in the market for the Corsa OPC but the Astra just looks extra sexy.

Hi mate nice to have another viewer from SA they are very different cars I loved my corsa but the Astra is a better car overall imo and more reliable haha

Brilliant car mate. I have a VXR Zafira, the big brother to the Astra. Based on the same platform and also runs the Z20LET. I have a wedged forged engine ready to drop in. Currently on stock power right now and it still humiliate a lot of premium cars

If your not going over 320bhp there's no need to forge the rods unless you want to be extra safe, iv bin running an aggressive 297bhp map for nearly 2 years now and car is running sweet and still on original turbo and gearbox

What Bhp and torque you wanting to achieve I know your corsa was 300+ so I’m assuming your wanting 350+ ish or so with this? You going to forge this one? Would love to see a big turbo build or a hybrid from krs turbos just seen some mad builds by RnD lovely Nurburgring one and a Arden blue Astra both 400-500hp these cars can really give you big gains

[@Yodaracing1]

Will be deffo making it faster than the corsa probably a hybrid from krs to keep it dailyable will definitely be getting the rods changed for forged ones
