The diesel airbox is apparently a lot less restrictive than the cross over im sure

Re: my astra vxr
The car looks da bollox homeboi. But 240+ bhp in a poor handling FWD car is a bit pointless really dawg, you'll never get full use of the engine!!! If you cane it, you'll probably torque steer into the nearest tree FPMSL.
Torque steer FTW....

Who cares whether its pointless, I bet its fun as f**k. Torque steer is what pussies complain about when they cant control thier car.
Re: my astra vxr
it dont handle to bad tbh there suposed to handle really well with a rear arb an springs tho.the torque steer is'nt bad at all really a little if you plant it on a uneven road nothing to worry about makes it more fun.
