How about aftermarket wheels ? I have Enkeis on my Astra, I think they look pretty good TBH

cavalier gsi give it the old unknown mods make her beast just getting one work on be right moneys and that

[@Trueseeker-r8q]

I do have a question , sorry if you answered this before but how come they are all Opel and not Vauxhall ?? I am considering an Astra gsi as a part time car (hobby) I already have a clean low mileage Corsa VXR so I fancy another to go with it . I have always preferred the mk4 to the mk5 Astra 👌

[@shaunwest3612]

Great video Aaron, nice work, your knowledge and attention to detail never ceases to amaze me, such a pleasure to watch you work 👌😀👍

Appreciate the support 🙌🏻

[@darrenmicklewright2008]

@@AaronUnknownPerformance it seemed to start after going in for a stage 2 map and the car picked up a massive misfire on boost over 3000rpm. I put stage 1 map back on and changed maf sensor and its now fine except the fluctuating idle on cold start, any help would be appreciated

[@TheJoesmoe1987]

These Astra G’s still look great today in gsi guise I had a few back in the day absolutely loved them at the time

[@J.M.valeting]

I have recently brought a arden blue astra gsi after watching your vids for the last few years has just really made me want one so pleased with it lovely cars

[@AaronUnknownPerformance]

Great news mate! Look after it and it won’t let you down

[@J.M.valeting]

@@AaronUnknownPerformance it's got a few little issues but watching your videos are helping me sort them where is a good place to go for mapping these engines I'm based in West Sussex

Nice vid ! bc is from Taiwan and the quality is good. I am glad to see a good video to introduce it. I am the owner of Opel and also your subscriber in Taiwan.

Best Astra G channel in KZbin!!!! It will be great if you can show some software modifications for z20let.

[@nitrodon7184]

Nice vid Aaron! Finally someone who understand how suspension properly should work and don't install just KW stuff! Greetings Donatello Mottura

[@alexr129]

The car is looking very good

[@bendude6748]

Good choice with the milwaukee stubby, I love mine brilliant little impact for the weight of it. Coilovers looking good too.

[@53gsiturbo20]

So good to see you back and even better to see more zlet content have really missed it 😄 Great work and nice looking astra. That kit looks great quality will have to look in to them in the future for mine if you rate them then that's good enough for me 😁🙌👍

[@AaronUnknownPerformance]

Cheers dude! Sell me your Arden Gsi 👏🏻

[@53gsiturbo20]

Can't bring myself to let it go had it since new it's like one of the family now he he

Been watching alot of your videos. Got my self a coupe turbo and doing alot of Mods that you have done. Love the MK4 material tho

[@AaronUnknownPerformance]

Awesome to hear 👏🏻

[@Thejoker-zg1gk]

Awesome man 🤘🏻

[@Sonorg1]

Yay MK4 stuff is back :) I love your vids but have a softspot for the Vauxhall stuff!

[@AaronUnknownPerformance]

I agree theres not been enough opel/vauxhall content

[@brianpender7872]

Enjoying Vauxhall content! What’s happening with escort turbo though it’s been away for ages

[@x8dudtrackdaytoy]

Might have to give these a try, run b14’s atm but the extra adjustment and stiffer springs would be useful

[@AaronUnknownPerformance]

Agreed! Theres no adjustability of the bilsteins although they are a good road setup, fit and forget

[@x8dudtrackdaytoy]

@@AaronUnknownPerformance Certainly good road set up. Bit softly sprung for track. Do the job for now but think in future I’ll be swapping to either those Bc’s or even stretch to kw v3’s

[@BigMin100]

Rival motorsport do really good deals on these, its where I got mine from

[@Shayn41]

I have a Astra G Coupé 2.2 Bertone edition . Could you show some tuning tips for that model as well? I’d appreciate it! .

[@Shayn41]

I’d like to up the horsepower maybe add-on a turbo.?

[@casemodder89]

@@Shayn41 the z22se is not capable of turbo charging. Better do a z20leh swap with z20let wiring harness and tech.

[@Shayn41]

@@casemodder89 thanks for the advice . I’m a musician and I have Zero experience with car mechanics no gear either but I love this car and its so clean . Do you know any serious minded shops that specialize in the area of Frankfurt.?

[@WHITE-VAN-MAN]

Aaron, whatever happened to your Zafira build? Let’s have an update on that?

[@AaronUnknownPerformance]

Coming soon mate!

[@brynnjones8799]

Absolutely Mint Example Aaron

[@jamiegirt3043]

I have a zafira gsi running a ko6 would love for you to have a look at it to see if it's running OK and see how I can improve on it

[@RevovH]

Sits perfect

[@AaronUnknownPerformance]

Agreed! Still rides like stock

[@astonrichardson4309]

I was expecting a up date on all the other projects at work, as you was knocking out loads of videos and we ain't seen you for a month 😱

[@corsadonk]

Aren't the bodies of the shocks bigger to accommodate the threaded inserts?

[@АлександрКадеев-щ6ю]

Hi, can you please tell me how the X7 and X5 connectors look, I could not find any information. I am trying to install X25XE in Astra G.

[@orlandostead8703]

Aaron, help us out I've got a 03 zafira gsi and need torque settings for the head bolts, big ends+ mains. Cheers

[@Rehbraun]

Isn’t it to deep for a less maintenance free operation on the front drive shafts?

[@davidlee3203]

Is the car smoother and more comfortable while handling bumps in the raod then the old ones now?

[@ahmedslim8663]

can you do a small video on front and rear antiroll bars for the astra since you already will fit them, and please put some links for them. I am looking for a set and can't seem to find them anywhere so I will try to import them from UK if you can provide some links. Thanks for your detailed and cheerful videos. Cheers🙌👍

[@Hesston4860s]

I’m wondering if the mk4 stuff will also fit a mk5 ?, I’ve a mk5 Astravan Sportive SE and would love these on it !. BC don’t list anything for a mk5 unfortunately 😢.

[@gewoontimm]

i got an 2003 opel ( vauxhall) omega i was looking for a coilover set but they are really really hard to find... im running bilsteins shocks at the moment with 30mm lowered springs... but i would like a stiffer ride without going lower.. as its a daily but also i like to have fun "spiritual"drives and it rolled a lot on the soft OEM springs.. this bc custom coilover kit would be usefull but they only make them for an corsa, astra and vectra :( witch sucks for me....

[@colindent8079]

Hi Arron could you please tell me the code for the updated track rod ends please

[@J.M.valeting]

Been waiting for another astra video finally sit down and watch this lol

[@homelessdrifter9508]

im actually surprised that bcracing coilover dont come with the bearings. my friend bought a cheap coilover kit that came with everything

[@steveb19111978]

Would be interesting to see a long term review of the BC’s. 🤔 I did look at these before I got the Bilstien B12 kit. My mate had them on his Mazda and although they were very good coilovers I always felt the car was a bit skittish under braking and the ride quality was just a little to firm.

[@AaronUnknownPerformance]

He has the wrong springs for the road, you can custom choose what springs you want and Bc will set the valves in the shocks for that setup.

[@matthewsullivan1673]

On the rear spacers, did you just add 10mm or did you buy spacers which also adjust the camber slightly? Like the ones from Courtenay Sport.

[@rickylee8620]

Very nice mate similar to my one 👍

[@MTHA-45]

What spring rate were used on the car? Had nothing but problems with the br series on my zlet coupe, 6kg front/rear and the backend just bounces like mad.

[@dOnDee831]

[@savvasalexandridis7792]

What dampening settings would you run in a fwd hatchback for daily use fast road use / track use front and back? Im asking because im experimenting with my bc coilovers and dont know if i should make the rear stiffer or the front? Or have the same dampening all around

[@casemodder89]

Just push it to the limits and see where it goes. If its loose on the back stiffen up the front and vice versa. Going 8's and 0's for a start will help. And then let it rip into corners (without traffic of course). Your bum-gauge will point you in the right direction.

[@savvasalexandridis7792]

@@casemodder89 I've noticed before i installed the coilovers the back was pretty loose (oversteer) now I've set it to 14 clicks from soft front and back but haven't pushed it much. 8s and 0s you mean 8 front and 0 back?

[@casemodder89]

@@savvasalexandridis7792 nono... not the clicks. Drive in 8's and 0's shape. The 8 shows how it behaves during load transfer left to right and the 0 shows how it behaves in acceleration/deceleration out of/into corners. Just play a bit on an empty parking lot.

[@robertbeattie3988]

Iv got a z20lel and it starts vibrating anything above 15 mph changed the front bearing and it’s still there,still goes away when I turn left any ideas anyone??would it be worth while changing the rear left bearing??or am I victim to the m32 gearbox issues lol.

[@casemodder89]

Vibration disapear in left corners means left bearing. Could be the front one too. But always change both per axle. Mostly you can feel the slack in the wheel when its jacked up. Just wiggle the tyre.

[@Dan58711]

@@casemodder89 thanks for the info the front left bearing has already been changed though,can it sometimes be the opposite then the right bearing going away on left turn??after watching a few vids it seems that sometimes that can be the case.

[@casemodder89]

@@Dan58711 i never had it rattling about when On-load but that does not mean anything. Could be a rare phenomenon and should be checked aswell. Drive shaft (outter joint) also does a grinding sound when its on the way out. Mostly in acceleration/deceleration. Not in coast. That one is a pretty dirty job with all that MoS2 grease on ya hands... be warned. 😄

[@Dan58711]

I was thinking about the possibility of the drive shaft as I said it is constant over about 15 part from the left turns or going over bumps lol and I am not bothered about a bit of grease mate,As long as I’m not gettin a headache everytime I drive the bloody thing lmao😂
