Hey Jake, Tom (Izzy bf) here! Great vid You mentioned about some suggestions for little mods one thing I would recommend is getting an airbox to go round your air filter it would help to prevent hot air from the engine bay getting in your turbo which just like the front mount your fitting would give the car much better temps for running good bhp. Also I would 100% recommend heat wrapping that exhaust manifold, last thing you want is your bonnet going up in flames from the heat that top mount turbo would put out! (Not to mention it would also help keep the bay temps down for a little extra bhp 😈)

I've just brought me a astra van I think the vxr look is what I'm gonna go for, got to say it looks smart 👌

[@Gavla13]

Just stumbled across your channel mate.. interesting looking forward to seeing the journey with the van.. look like its a x over running the door speakers. Good quality speakers jl audio. Someone has spent alot of time and money already on the van. Looks great will look insane once your done. I own a sportive also it's not standard but no vxr.. keep up the good work!

[@daithomas9282]

Really liking your content. No decent Astravan videos been done for a long time. I've got a 2011 sportive so looking for ideas from you 😅 Look forward to seeing what you do 👌🏽

[@thelloydlife]

Ah thanks appreciate it spurs me on to do more! 😄

Seems odd your running a stock intercooler with your turbo set up you will get a huge gains just from fitting the front mount U won’t need to go stand-alone to go high power stock ecu can be mapped for high power cars with switchable maps etc Looking forward to seeing the Bonnet buddy also u can get replacement kits for where the bumper clips on to the body just a case of drilling out the old ones and rivet the new ones in

[@thelloydlife]

Thanks for the info appreciate it! Bonnet arriving next week for hopefully be on before next weekend 🤞🏼 and brill thanks I will have a look now or if you know where’s best to get them let me know thanks 😊

Awesome van Jake, look for RhinoLip universal spoiler They fit basicly all cars, should be ok for the rear Looking forward to future videos 👍

[@thelloydlife]

Ahh thanks Phil! Will have a look now 👌🏼

[@itsmephil2255]

@@thelloydlife if you are going to panel the van, go for marine ply, little bit more expense but a lot tougher than usual ply

[@thelloydlife]

Thanks for the tip, not sure what I’m doing with the back but I’m keen not to add any weight to it!

[@itsmephil2255]

@@thelloydlife you definitely want marine ply then 👍

[@craig5otoole733]

I think they are AFL head lights they are worth good money mate

[@thelloydlife]

Ok thanks for that, will see if I can maybe tidy them up instead. Worth buying a standard set to modify do you think and keeping these or selling them on?

[@jay.vxr2291]

They ain’t afls head lights

What’s it weigh?
