Well it looks like I've upset a few of the boy racers in the Astra world
You constantly see posts about owners of 1.7cdti engines trying to get more power out of them. Now normally I'm all for that sort of thing - but after spending a fair stack of cash most end up with under 150bhp
Now for those of you not clued up on Astra engines you can buy exactly the same cars, for near enough the same money as a standard 1.7cdti that comes with a 1.9cdti that puts out 150bhp straight from the box - with the added bonus of having a few more toys inside, bigger brakes and a much bigger scope for tuning to well over 200bhp for the same money as they are spending struggling to get to 150bhp.
Not to mention the insurance benefits of having that power on a totally standard car against declaring all the mods on the 1.7 to get it there.
Am I getting old or does anyone else see that as a bit silly?
