modz for opel astra

[ILuvDetailing]

Thanks for the clarification... I was thinking the same thing after I posted thing but its engine must be screaming at 160kph with all that weight and an underpowered engine, I wouldn't be confortable with that IMO.

thanks for the info everyone.. got couple of recomends from other EU forms to increase BHP hope it works. anyone knows where i can have an inlet-pipe custom made bigger so that it sucks more air in? with new panel filters i should get good hp increase plus exhaust. I do agree that astra is heavy not really going to race with anyone just want to get good speed. hopefully I can do superchip, bodystyling and cam/heads soon.

btw. does anyone know where the ECU and the IAT are located?

IMO A 160kph cruising speed is a bit of a stretch for an Astra, maybe for a stretch but not a constant speed.

IMO to have a solid ride at high speeds, you should have good suspension, low center of gravity, good set of brakes, performance tires, and good aerodynamics (for that all important downforce) , I don't think helf or weight has anything to do with it.

pre... Opels can cruise upto 200kph (will just take them a LOOOONG time to get there). read this in C! when they where in Germany and was cruising in the authobahn.

and also, newer jap cars can also cruise comfortably at 160kph (with just an OEM spoiler).

Well, back in 1994, I was already cruising from manila to malolos, bulacan in my 92' Sentra 1.6. And there was a stretch or two I could cruise for a couple of minutes at 180kph either in 4th or 5th gear.

Point to ponder, if the Opel Astra takes soooooooooo long to reach 200kph, where in the island of Luzon can you cruise at that speed?

160 constant speed on astra... good and stable.
