Hi all, thought I'd start a little thread as I've just bought myself a 2012 Astra GTC 1.4 turbo (120).

My plans for the car are to get it up to around 180bhp, does this sound achievable? There must be other owners on here with the 1.4 turbo engine that have reached this sort of figure. What's the best route to take? Any info at all on this subject is appreciated as the GTC is still new to me.

My car has the 19 inch 5 spoke alloys, which I'm looking at getting refurbished in a dark colour, and I'm looking into lowering the car as it looks like it's on stilts at the moment. Can anyone recommend on tried and tested springs on the GTC? Most of the ones I've seen lower by 30mm. Does that make a good difference?

Beyond that I'm not too sure. I've noticed airtec do a nice front mount intercooler, anyone tried one?

Any help, advice etc welcome and appreciated. Pics to follow.

Dave ?
