i know the astra aint a clio but should be a monster, jus not sure if the 300bhp is proven, looks mint tho.

I wouldn't do the astra tbh - quick in a straight line but if the steering is anything like the ex's lower model then it will have about as much feel as a man with no hands.

Really, really pants - just kind of have to steer it where you want to go and hope it grips as there's ****all coming back through the steering in my experience! lol

Wasn't there some bloke on CS selling his red turbo'd valver?

[Coops]

i'd got for the converted valver out of them lot, most pricey probs but astra is no go, handles like a train n the other gt clio looks fahookin gaheeeey!!

Valver turbo

[lewis_willy2]

is swinging that way, but reserve is so high, and reliability of a heavily tuned gt turbo lump is unknown to me? if it tuned aswell as it says and looks how reliable will it be??????????

[Coops]

???? reliable???? why u even looking at turbos?!!

RN for you mi laddo!

[big hp]

Neither. Get a cossie.

[ash clio gtt]

renault 5 gtt engines can be reliable. most the unreliable stories are from people who just get a bleed valve and crank the boost up without the supporting modifications and without fueling setup correctly. good thing is that when they do go wrong is cheap and easy to fix yourself
