Hmmmm, well I'm gonna be bias here..... go for the Astra.... the engine is one of the finest Vauxhall have produced and can be easily tuned up at either Regal or Courtenay or 888.

The RS Turbo is a nice car, but the engine is well dated now and nowhere near as reliable.

By the way, it wasn't just the GSI that had the Z20LET engine in it.... I have an Astra Coupe with that same engine in it.

I like the astra. all i would do is give her a spray and put some nice splitters on it and some decent wheels.

i do have my heart set on the astra as it will be a really fun car with alot of potential
All i can do is iew it an if its a proper shit heap i wont get it

Sounds like some good plans mate!!!!

Keep an eye out on eBay as sometimes the Irmsher splitters come up on there!

You could also keep an eye out on the Astra Owners Club forum for any parts on there... plus they are great if you need any advise on the car.

Might even be able to pick up a set of cheap Astra Turbo Alloys.

Good idea Mate.... he'll know what he's looking at and he can tell you whether or not it would be worth getting it and spending a few bob on sprucing it up a bit.

Look for a leather set?!?!?!

Think I saw a full Linea Rossa interior on eBay the other day.... was black and red leather!! Mine is a Linea Rossa, but has a full cream leather interior.
