Very nice. Love the noise they make. My second car is an astra 1.9 cdti remapped. Built quality is lovely compared to the french. Shame the gearbox is made of cheese. Already had mine done along with clutch and dual mass flywheel

Haha can see where your coming from I did want a ST but this came up at a great price, even after a year or so once I'm bored ill sell it on and make a tidy profit so can't lose really.
Also aren't any hot hatches chavy?, 206's being up there with saxo's on the chav list.
The only thing in my eyes that lets this car down is the crappy chocolate box's they put in them hence why I'm getting the bearing uprated to help eliminate the problem.

Fair enough mate, heard of them boxes being a pain! But unfortunately around suffolk, every chav who had a saxo has one. I just have a shear passion against them!
