Loving the Evo! You played around with engine?

The GTE looks mint too, doubt there's many clean examples left.

Thanks for the welcome , Evo engine hasn't really been played with just an air filter , APS dual port dump valve and a 3" decatted Firestorm exhaust , spent more time getting the exterior to how i liked it.
I might get it remapped sometime , but to be honest its putting out around 360bhp and thats more than enough for me.
The 16 valver is in good condition, really solid underneath , hoping to get her a full respray soon ,she's just turned 90000 miles, two owners from new , and is totally standard , apart from the cd player , although i've still got the original stereo.
Spent a fortune getting the wheels shot blasted and repainted , but its worth it , been quite suprised the amount of offers i've had to buy it , it is a bit worrying when i've had cars follow me and offer to buy it , when i've got out , but thank goodness its all been above board smile

Love the evo! Older cars aren't really my thang, but I can respect the love the astra has been shown!

Top marks!

Wow your GTE is mint condition , don't really go for white cars but have to admit i prefer your white to my black , has the rear arches been done??.
Nope i've no intention of messing with it , she's an antique now , the days of it being one of the quickest hot hatches has long gone , i think a decent turbo diesel would give her a run for her money smile.
Thats not what i bought it for anyway , its just a cruising car with MPG about 40 which is great compared to the EVO's 19 or sub 10 if your giving it some welly , lol ouch smile
