1991 Vauxhall Astra GTE 8V 2.0 8v from UK and Ireland
Summary:
A rapid beast (especially in the wet)
Faults:
Inner CV joint.
Light in the electronics dashboard.
ABS sensor (which was only a broken wire)
General Comments:
What a machine, I bought this animal for £230 and it blows rs turbos into next week. These cars fly and don't cost the earth to run. Parts are easily accessible. I am in the middle of dropping a 2.0 litre turbo lump in now so beware all cossie owners lol. A real piece of engineering brilliance Go buy one!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Hi, these cars are awesome machines, I raced one in my civic vti and in 3rd gear the car just started pulling, they look really nice and are very rare.
