i sold my commodore not so long back and i got myself an 87 astra. it was i bit shitty when i got it so i replaced the clutch put a kenwood sub and head unit. 4" muffler and all that.now im a bit stuck for things to do!!! im thinkin of sellin it and gettin something with more petential. love to hear what you think?

^^^

budget?? considerations? job/age/home loans? bit of info helps

aido..... bit of respect mate.

well it all depends how much u wanna spend mate and what u like, is it a daily driver ? or a weekend thrasher?

go with what u like and not what others do...only u will be happy.

jesus 4" muffler on an astra... thats huge... might be just the tip maybe????

chuck a set of 17s on it and lower it... my bro had the same model and they look perfectly good with standard body dumped on their arses...

SCRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAPE

just jokes man!!! just tidy the body up, and a nice set o' rims!!!

What colour is it?!?!

You dont really have to sell it for something with more potential!!! just set yourself a task and stick to it, you can make it a damn nice streeter with some good ol' fashioned hard work

just look at moes corolla (it is a corolla today i hope ) the befores and afters are amazing..

his car can be used as some sort of insparation

actually moe. post up a before and after.... tehre was one but i cant find it!

here you go

aido, the only reason i have a larger muffler is because i can actually HEAR my passenger talk now

On another note its alwasy good to see different cars around.
Not just lots of R32's

agreed with taking the muffler off aido.

i got a new cannon off of the nichy bloke

i got a 3.5 in cannon with 2" pipe cat back but i drive a civic

astra can have alot of potential most pulsar bits fit i would assume wheels and lowering always looks neat

im thinkin i might stay with the old girl for a while longer and just see what i can pull off with it.. i mean i dont really want to give up on it just yet after seeing the b4 and after of the moe's rolla

up here in devonport there is a nice little astra same as yours, its red full body kit,lowered,white wheels,all the other ricey shit,oh and heaps of redback stickerson it, its even has a big spider airbrushed on bonnet, i will try and get some pics of it off alvin(the owner), its not bad though.,

it is tough as shit, the kit needs to be fitted a bit better tho

has he finished the boot install yet?

I don't mind the muffler... quite tasteful. However the Trust sticker needs to go unless you have something more than a trust gear knob!

I would reccomend the clean (straight body and clean paintwork) and lowered look. You will get a lot more respect if you modify it with parts not stickers...

Would be nice to see it with some tasteful 17's and lowered. Maybe some tint and a bit of a stereo for cruising enjoyment (it is obviously not buit for racing). You should also consider suspension and brakes (well priced, sensible and noticable mods espesially on an NA) There is nothing like keeping on top of your servicing with decent oil, plugs and filters!

Either way, keep it up and do what you like. I have found that no matter what you do now, you will always look back and laugh at yourself. You will always love your first cars though!

Hope that helps a little!!
