MARC MOSS Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Needed another van and decided that I wanted to drive something smart ish and fast so I bought this... Standard it produced 150 bhp and 300nm torques.Anyway it's not slow it's actually quite fast until today .. Took it to my mapper and had a chat lolAfter a whole 25 minutes and 250 quid my little astra 150 sportive van now produces a lovely 192bhp and 380nm torque lolIt's fucking hilarious, the wheels spin in 1st and 2nd as soon as the turbo spools with the traction off and that's with 235/35/19 Michelin pilot sports...It's now a diesel van missile lol and I actually quite like it .

TurboTobz Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Looks awesome, wheels let it down mind. Time for some rota grids? Edited November 25, 2013 by TurboTobz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Yea lol, I'm not a lover of Vxr wheels myself but it's all oem and looks ok. To be honest a set of 19x10 grids would look sick. Did I say that lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
