These "choose one of these four" posts are always packed with replies. Never pick one of the options. Ideally come up with something that's much more expensive and hasn't been invented 🤷🤤🤯🤣 The Golf GTi is a 16v so it looks to be the best option. XR3i no match for that lot.

100% would have had one of these if they brought them to the UK. Weird GM didn't as they did make the BLS (which the US didn't get)

Fitted a new/old stock Peco Big Bore 1 to the Cavalier Diplomat this week along with a 20SEH (non cat) system. Had to wait ages for the centre section which I had to get from Poland as there was no UK stock.

A rare bit of Vauxhall literature landed today, a confidential dealer and fleet brochure on the Mk3 Astra saloon and its main rivals. Some of these Astra models sold in tiny numbers and may well be extinct. Same for the Orion, 400 & 19 we suspect. Wonderfully in depth stuff! 🤩

New video live on YouTube at 7pm tonight! It's the return of our Astra cdx estate conversion from auto to manual. We look back at buying the car, finding a donor Cavalier + picking up an Astra Sport 2.0 16v Took so long to edit then got a copyright strike for a 6sec jingle FFS

A very interesting project in progress from Greater London. A uLEZ complaint Vauxhall Nova, using a modern Z18XE 1.8 16V engine as commonly found in the Mk4 Astra. Really looking forward to seeing this when it's complete.
