Hi everyone. My name is Darren and I recently bought a Vectra C on a 54 plate. Am looking to improve the performance on it but am having trouble finding parts from high street stores which is a pain. Have fitted A k&n induction kit and am looking for an exhaust. Which is the best one to go for? Have been looking at Magnex but Peco is a cheaper option but I don't want anything ridiculously loud which I have been told Peco is.
Hi Darren and welcome to the site. I was impressed by Magnex. If you don't want loud then get a smaller backbox. A 1.5 inch pipe should suffice. I know what you mean about finding parts. It would be worth tracking down an FSE fuel boost valve and also a fast road cam for it. Hope that helps!
Thanx for that, am getting it lowered today so will be trying to hunt out an exhaust at the same time. Will look into the other things you mentioned too.
elo every1 jus fort i would introduce myself here 1st.... i drive a mk3 astra havent done much to it YET just alloys and a soundsystem so far but more to come!
hi everyone iam new on here, got a corsa 1.8 sri, only mod is a pipercross induction kit, it sounds good and is quite nippy but not nippy enuff!! want sum engine mods doing to it!
Hi everyone, my name is chris i have an astra coupe 1.8i 16v bertone.It has a K&N 57i induction kit, tinted windows. I have still to put on irmscher backbox, oversized airflow meter and bigger fuel pressure regulator then remapped plus chipped (will be doing that all at once)
hey and welcome to the site mate. sounds nice.
you do know that if you have it remapped you dont need to chip it ? they both do the same. the remap is done through the diagnositc port where as the chip requires removal of the ecu and new chip soldered in
Hi Tigra Turbo and welcome to TorqueCars - Start up a thread and tell us about your car - if you haven't done so already. It sounds great a turbo'd 1.4!
Hi Dave, welcome to TorqueCars mate! 17 and you own a 2.0 litre? How much insurance do you pay out? What kind of plans do you have for tuning it? Is it all about performance?
