I've been into modding for most of my life but more the old school way of NA (expensive way of going slow) and also turbo'ing cars that weren't turbo from factory.  More recently I've been playing around with more modern cars where software and bolton's make great gains.

After reading up on the 1.6T is seems it isn't the strongest of motor & gearbox combo's but should handle stg1 sw with relative ease.  I'm not that familiar with the UK market so have done allot of googling.  I've had 2 options that I'd like to ask for feedback and/or advice.

1) Celtic Tuning - I've always used Celtic as a benchmark for many cars and trust their dealer network.  My only concern is off the shelf maps.
2) Performance centre - They run a full diagnostic and do a road map tune to check all the parameters are good.  Only issue is they are based 4.5 hours away although I can have it done by another tuning company through their guidance.

Car currently only has the back box removed (bought like this) and I don't intend to go wild or any further with this setup.  Keen to hear your thoughts.

OK I have the cash but not the knowledge and that's dangerous I know!!!
I am looking for shocks and 40mm springs for my wee beastie who is called Chilli, yes very femine of me but there you go. Anyway he's the 2.0l 165bhp cdti sri which I know factory is 30mm lowered but I need new shocks as mine are pants so I thought let's just get new suspension. I do not want coil overs or stupid top range, I do far too many miles and just want a little bit of comfort so no bone rattling suggestions to make him rock hard.
Also hunting some half decent 18s 5 x 115 pcd...
So there you have it...help please?]]> Firstly thank you for reading my plea for help.

I have been able to find some for my other car (Audi A3 8l) but obviously a different size/shape and font.

Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if anyone has added the tesla like touch screen to an Astra J that originally had a navi 650 in, is it as simple as plug and play, or will the loom require modification?

All the best,

If you follow me on instagram @thewhiteastra you will see I put on the full VXR Aero bodykit on my GTC.

The GTC had a single exit exhaust on the passenger side.

The VXR exhaust has 2 built in exhaust tips passenger and drivers side.

I had to cut the tip off my single exhaust to get the bumper on as the VXR sits lower inc diffuser.



So basically the single exhaust pipe doesn't line up to the passenger side VXR exhaust tip (sits more towards the middle of the car) as the tips are far right and far left.



My question is, does anyone know of a place who sells backbox deletes for a 2.0 cdti which goto a twin exit to fit the VXR bumper before I just get a custom one made.

Picture attached is not my car but same back bumper etc

Thanks

I was attempting to change the key fob for my Astra J as the flip bit had become stuck and it looked simple enough. Unfortunately had a nightmare trying to open the original key and have ended up damaging the chip inside  I rang Vauxhall and they said it'd be look at around £200 (not going to do that).

Has anyone got any alternative solutions? Could I potentially use another Astra J keys chip and program it to my car?

Appreciate any help.

I am a little confused. Easily done, I know!
On the documentation it says it is the A17DTS opt. LUE engine.
BUT, if I use a decoder for the vin it tells me its a A17DTC
So, my questions are
Which is it and what does the opt.LUE mean? I can find any reference to that.
