Good vid man, from Australia here I own a 2003 holden astra SRI turbo. Identical colour. Must say absolute weapon, here our SRI turbos are optioned with Full leather interior, heated seats, sunroof and all the other good things

Excellent video Aaron really looking forward to seeing how good this one finishes up and love the fact we get a say as well 👍

Absolutely sick nice to see you back doing what you do best can’t wait for the next instalment 😜👍🏻

Great to see you saving one of these bud.👍👍

Great find this is going to be a great project looking forward to seeing it being done and put back on the road

Another great car build/refresh to follow. Love your vids...

I’m a ford mate but love seeing u work on anything, I never thought much of these Astra’s but I got to say the cars do look nice ( ur red one is lovely) 👌

Really looking forward to more updates on this car, good video Aaron, you are very thorough.....

Couldnt agree more aaron they are fantastic cars owned many gsi turbos and a silver and a rare red sri turbo most big spec and fun cars!! Nice to see your back to the grind with content my man😎👍👍👍👍

Best Vauxhall content on KZfaq !

Aaron it’s great to see you back bud 👍🏼 Love the channel and you’re endless knowledge 👌🏼

Ace project! Keep up the good work

Great video Aaron, what ever you decide to do with it,it's gonna look mint,love the way you say "just gonna drop this engine in",like a boss👌😀

About time thought you was dead🤪 you make us all want one now again😆😊🤑 keep up the wizardry love your channel

Get ready for some awesome content ,Aaron’s back

Love watching your engine rebuild videos, they are great like all your content mate

looking forward to this build....be another top notch job..

Good find, these certainly are rare, I've worked for Vauxhall for years, and remember these brand new, the dealer I worked for had 2 in black.

Why do mk4 astras look so fucking good #timelesslooks

Looking forward to this build!

Worth the wait 😎👍

Love the content during this lockdown time!

I’ve got a mark mk4 Astra 1.8 SRI i’ve had it about 10 years but parks it in the mother in laws garage for years ago planning on pulling out this summer And starts working on it it’s just having the time to do it

Can't wait to see this get done 😍

Love seeing the astra project's Aaron. My older bro had an 02 plate Sri from new, it's been rotting on drive for years now, misfired and loom is damaged I think. Stock grille!

Like watching, love the knowledge about tuning engines and modifying the car

Really enjoy your videos you should do more!

Looking forward to the evo being finished!!! Want to hear it

Gotta say this is a great barn find

mans back and with another astra nice!!

Never seen those headlights before, look sick

Well come back Aaron you were beginning to become Unknown...lol. Great vid

Azz the master back at work 😁

Great content bud

nice one Aaron!

Love it!

This guy is a legend 👌👌👌

Id love to buy a car off this guy !!

Nice find Aaron

Nice motor that fella :D

Decent vid as always. Been too long! I agree piston slap sounds nasty. It's worse in the winter. Any Fiesta RS turbo updates coming?

No doubt this is going to be a special car when done. Anything he touches turns out amazing and bloody quick........

I really do love these cars yeah there’s nicer stuff but it’s a rare version and i genuinely think it’s the best shape Astra they’ve done

😎👍 sweet motor woow it looks the dogs dangles. love the shape of it to very nice hell yea

Great to see you back quick question are those crank pulleys that this car has fitted OK to use on a leh? Or will it cause issues 🤔

My nan had one of these. Silver too but was completely OEM bar the wheels and rear lights. I cant remember why she had it tbh. Didn't drive it very fast 😂 but did get done for 97mph in a 70 when she was in her late 60s 😂

Great vid Aaron 👍. Glad to see a GSI getting saved. Sounds like a cheeky question but have you valued all your cars to see what they are worth. Must be a good amount.

I hope u put original seats back in shame u never really see a standard astra mk4 turbo tbh don’t see meany at all as most just wanted engine and body kit 😞 lovely to see a decent one even to it’s been sat a while nice to see it finshed

Cool New project

Nice one bro

Beautiful car

Keep the irmsy grill because it was a factory option when new. There is also a irmsy grill released at the same time with a chrome letter "i" in which is on my car. The glue that came with the grill is great because the chrome "i" has not come off the grill in 15 years haha. My car is rarer than this a 1999 red astra 2.0 16v sri 3 door with just 96 left on the road with non ac from factory that gives it a little bit of extra power which makes it extremely rare as most of the others have got it as standard. All standard and no mods and had it 16 years. 138,000 miles and uses no oil at all and runs perfectly smooth. Put mobil 1 fully synthetic from 45,000 miles when i bought it in 2004 from thurlby motors alford. Yep great cars these astra's are quality made too with a thick guage of steel all around. You cannot push the metal in like you can with modern cars.

I've have my one from brand new only 20000 miles on the clock same colour sri Turbo

What snow foam do you use mate? Probs said in another video but thought I’d ask cheers

Aaron what do you think about b204s in the astra?? I had one before as the original engine shat itself it actually worked out cheaper to buy and fit a b204 with the power I ended up running 370hp nice and safe with just basic bolt ons.

build a vauxhall lotus carlton

cool video

you seem to know quite abit about engines, so have you any idea why my z16xe rattles and knocks like a bag of spanners when under load, hot or cold, if i pull away from a standing start or accelerate with the engine at anything less than about 1700rpm. other than that it seems fine ?

Hey Aaron Great video just seen 330+ bhp on tittle it’s that proved on Roland road or just guessing.

Bit of the a13 or ferry lane way you can have a quick spert?

Top vid as always bud 👍 but pls keep that engine in the astra? Sort that piston slap, do ur wizardry on that motor, then auction with tickets for us viewers to try n get it...... Wud love the chance of owning motor handbuilt by you sir.....

you know these cars well... n looks sweet now clean n new parts! 🙄

I'd love just come and spend a day around your cars

Hi mate i have a zafira gsi 2004 69000 miles. Yesterday car cut out yesterday and wont start low compression. Timing belt is still turning but seems the cam has snapped. What damage will there be . Thanks in advance

The forerunner to the GSi.. if I remember rightly these were built to gauge interest before they built the GSi... a mates Dad had one in red.. they only made them in silver, red and black I think.

Maaaann I want this car!

Good Find There Dude :D would u happen to know the proper timing for an evo lancer 2?

Hi mate you got more details on the breather system and pot? Looking for a good set up for mine

Is the red gsi project finish? Take it out for a spin and give a good review

I’ll pay you mate to put decent engine in Opel Astra g 👌. Your videos are bang on 👍👍

Great video as always and totally agree the sri-t and gsi's are great cars and imo very underated. I have a red (pink) sri-t and low mileage gsi so if your liking clean cars more these days you might appreciate and want to check out my gsi if you get a min on Instagram😀 neither are big power tho😥 Sometimes wish my pink Sri was silver 👌 Can't wait to see you work your magic on this👍

Yeah I agree with the wheels going back to silver

Just a question will a astra h 1.8 vvt engine fit into an astra g?

I want to put one of them Engines in my Vauxhall Corsa C is it Hard to do and how much Aaron

Think about getting a Vauxhall calibra

Not sure if there’d be an audience for it but I’d really be interested if you done a buyers guide for these Astra’s seeing as you know them and the engines inside out

Lovely motor, Do you still own the red one?

Should remove that center section in the backbumper near exhaust

I have one astra sri turbo that looks the same but how do i tell if its the rare one with only 500 made like this???

I Believe that there are less than 40 registered left on Australian roads! - And I Have one of them ;)

Bet he got that for like £500 or 1k max with a fudged engine and been sitting so long...he'll do it good in the end...

Still want a gizzy see a few hand full in my area. Like you say it finding a good1

Nice, have you sold this now ?

Appreciate the work and the kudos etc. But just cant bring myself to like the astra..😣

Mate, too bad im all the way in New Zealand I would have been keen for you to build my Subaru Legacy Engine, its current one I think has piston slap and it sound disgusting on cold mornings!

Mine sounds like this and I ain’t had a rebuild bud

What's the difference between this and the gsi

Wats best mods to gain bhp om my astra 1.9sri 150

Mine sounds like that pal, it's standard and ain't never been apart???

Definitely go back to silver on the alloys!

My boss has 2, one that's been wrote of sitting at side of house. And a daily

Most zlets sound like that tbf 🤣

I have 1 of these to even in silver hehe

£2.5K I can't even find a half decent gsi

Barn find😂🤣

I'm thinking about selling my red zaf gsi to get a astra sri or gsi

How much did you pay :)

How much to build me a 500bhp engine like yours pal
