I was just about to say "Yawn another kitted Astra" then I saw what is under the bonnet! :o

Did you do the build? What size is that lump? 5.7L What running gear is it on?

Edited to add well done for passing the MOT! Always a scary time for any owner :mrgreen:

lol, Yes mate LS1 5.7 coupled to a TremecT56 6 speed gearbox and Omega rear axle with Monza LSD, 3.9 final drive.
I`ve done everything myself, apart from building the Monza diff into the Omega casing :?

It`s quite quiet, altho there`s still the V8 rumble :)

Should be pushing 420 - 430 with remap.

Bodykit was fitted 5 years ago Sean, when it was a 2ltr turbo with a mere 292bhp and 330 ft/lbs, and FWD :D
