Stage 3 Astra H VXR

Astra H VXR Stage 3 Upgrade and LSD (Limited Slip Differential). This car spent a couple of days in our workshop and had a full 3″ exhaust system, CSRacing intercooler and a Quaife LSD fitted. Then it was onto the rolling road for mapping, datalogging and full rolling road set up making 290bhp and 350 […]

Astra H VXR – K06 Mapping

This Astra H VXR Nürburgring is a well loved and enjoyed example having covered some 110,000 miles, but it always gets regular 5,000 mile oil changes. It shows the durability of the engines as this car has been tuned to several levels, originally starting at Stage 3. More recently it has benefitted from the addition […]

Astra H VXR Track Car Mapping

This track prepared (and more importantly track used) Astra H VXR came in for mapping to give it a performance improvement in the short term to compliment the other modifications which have been specifically aimed at making a good useable trackday car. Lightweight Team Dynamics 18″ alloy wheels help with unsprung weight and improve acceleration […]

Astra H VXR Garrett Mapping

Another Astra H VXR in for mapping that has had a Garrett installation fitted to it. V Band Cast Manifold, Garrett GT2871HTA Motorsport Spec Turbocharger with metal bearing cage, Tial External Wastegate, AEM Dryflow Filter, 90mm AFM, 630cc Injectors, Aeromotive Fuel Pump, 80mm Inlet Pipe, 3″ Courtenay Klasen Downpipe, 3″ Courtenay Piper Exhaust System and […]

Astra H VXR – Uprated Clutch and Lightweight Flywheel

This Astra H VXR Nürburgring came to us for an uprated CSRacing clutch and lightweight billet steel flywheel, due to the fact the factory clutch had started to slip occasionlly. The car had covered a shade over 91,000 miles and was originally modified to Stage 3 in 2008 at around 3,500 miles, virtually from new. […]

K06 Astra H VXR

Another K06 conversion, with steel rods, Courtenay high flow inlet manifold, 3″ exhaust and CSR Intercooler being set up on our rolling road – bang on the money power and torque wise, and one of the cleanest and best prepared cars we’ve seen. We have also switched it to Evans Power Cool 180 Waterless Coolant. […]

Uprated Exhaust Mounts

We have noticed that the universal exhaust rubber/mount used on many many popular Vauxhall/Opel applications including Astra H VXR, is not very strong and over time has a tendency to perish, stretch and split, consequently requiring replacement. Often failure can occur quite quickly, especially on a modified car. Added to this on performance models and […]
