Hello From Sunny Edinburgh.......

 

Hey guys,

my name's Chris, and i'm currently looking for a 350 Coupe.

 

Currently drive a Vauxhall Astra Coupe 2.0 Turbo (around 260bhp)

but just fancy a change!!

 

I've not had a look at all the other posts yet to answer all my forthcoming questions,

but just wondered if there are any members from the Capital on here?

 

Cheers guys,

hopefully have one before too long so i can share some pictures :D

hahaha....

Nice.

 

Unfortunately im with another band now,

although that one was doing rather well....

 

If you do a search for "Flatliner - Miracle Girl" on youtube, you'll see a reasonable video filmed at the Bongo Club in Edinburgh a few years back :)

 

Cheers for the nice welcome though mate....

Looking forward to getting a new toy now the more i think about it :D

Hi Chris and :welcome: to the forum, lots of Scots on here. :thumbs: I am based in Perth but there are a few in Edinburgh and many from Strathclyde, Perthshire, Tayside, Fife and Aberdeenshire.

Good luck with the search for a suitable car. :thumbs:

I most certinly will do!

 

Having never driven a 350 yet,

can i ask what you guys love about the car so much?

 

I know i'll miss the feel of the Turbo pushing me into the back of the seat when the foot goes down,

but i'm sure there are plenty tuning options available without having to rob a bank?????

hmmmm...

thats not too goo....

although 280bhp is a fantasatic starting point!!!!!

 

What realistically would i expect from the usual breathing mods?

 

better air intake, pre-cat / Sports Cat etc etc

 

Are there any good remapping options for us "north of the border" folk?

i know that N/A cars dont usually gain much from them though...

 

Sorry about all the questions,

i've only just got used to Turbo tuning,

so i think i'm expecting too much from too little :D

 

 

But thanks all for the nice welcome.

I do hope i can get a 350 soon, and meet some of you guys :thumbs:

 

Just for general conversations' sake, here my car just now :)

To be honest, i'd be very happy with about 350hp...

The question is, how deep will my pockets need to be!!! :scare:

 

 

:welcome: to the forum

 

 

need to quite deep then for 350bhp. Your looking at turbo or supercharger and around 6k. This will take you up to 400bhp. Any more than this and you will need new internals
