Nurburgring in an Astra VXR

taking my Astra VXR for a few laps around the Nurburgring.

[@martinhall9074]

Those water bottles ffs!

[@slampro123]

Does sound good

[@StarsingerOG]

I'm sorry, I didn't see the lap, I was looking at those bottles.

Picked up an astra vxr a couple months ago. Fun cars to boot around. Plenty of torque but I have to admit the handling is really bad, even with coil overs. Just doesn't seem balanced at all. Good fun nonetheless and they don't cost much either. Then again you spend that extra you save on fuel and insurance lol. Good vid, nice driving.

The Sir cheers mate. If you ever getthe chance to go you should. I would agree about the car I'm some ways but it never fails to put a smile on my face, which has to be what matters in the end

[@adawg6791]

What exhaust is on this mate

[@AndysAdventures89]

Adiano Higgiano Piper 3" turbo back with sports cat and rear silencer.

[@lwebb7]

Get a white line rear anti roll bar and it will solve your problems

[@trexy_vxr]

I think a improvement mate on it would be having ur elbows abit closer to the steering wheel, atleast when your in the racing position have have more of a feel to the car, then abit more control of the car

[@darrenmicklewright2008]

You did well, wouldn't mind ago myself in mine

[@AndysAdventures89]

Do it. Soooooo worth it. Really miss that car 😭

[@Widda5]

What exhaust was this? Sounds class

[@AndysAdventures89]

Widda5 it's a 3" Piper exhaust. Turbo back with sports cat and 1 silencer. 👍

[@jasonjuggler3457]

Do you still have the car? full mods list and reliability please

[@AndysAdventures89]

No I sold it recently. Bilstein shocks/eibach springs all round. 3" turbo back exhaust. Bigger intercooler. Possible re-map (before I bought it). The engine was reliable. Did have to do turbo seals and valve stem seals as it started smoking but it had done 115,000 miles so probably was due.

[@jasonjuggler3457]

@@AndysAdventures89 shame you sold it man. Sick mate

[@jasonjuggler3457]

@@AndysAdventures89 thanks

[@AndysAdventures89]

Yeah I was gutted. But I just needed something more economical for my commute to work.

[@tuna_6548]

I keep losing roof rack slot covers on mine :/

[@AndysAdventures89]

Yeah one of mine has come off too.

[@Pkdimmock]

Me too. Gonna glue them in with Tiger seal

[@johnsimun6533]

What year? I have 2017 Cruze lt with the 1.4 turbo. Looks fun.

[@AndysAdventures89]

Hey You nice. She's a 2007 with new suspension and a sports exhaust.

[@lmfao8314]

Andy Jones recommend buying one?

[@AndysAdventures89]

LMFAO personally I love it. It's a great car and you can pick one up for a few thousand now. The performance for the money is great too. It will keep up with most things on the road. I would recommend an exhaust upgrade as it seemed to improve the power delivery on mine but mine didn't have a standard exhaust when I got it so that may be the reason. Hope that helps

[@lmfao8314]

Andy Jonesyk yes thanks, any common faults I need to be looking out for when searching for one?

[@AndysAdventures89]

LMFAO not that I'm aware of but not many of the changeable parts on my weren't standard when I got it. Only thing I'd say is oil leaks especially around the rocker box but easy fix with £10 gasket

[@jesuschristlslord4983]

What bhp u running bro

[@arrbek2359]

get the shit out of your car. Have some respect. I cant watch this clip anymore. And secure the backpack. FFS.

[@AndysAdventures89]

Arr Bek I was on a holiday tour across Europe, sorry that I had some drinks ready. Also that "backpack" is a hoody. Most people dont even wear a helmet there So perhaps avoid it
