Re: fastest astra on the road????

probably is a R1 but obviosly knows the astra driver and is the only vehicle that could be used to film a car that quick,plus he rolls on in a high gear to match the astras speed.

Re: "Underbody (preventative) maintenance"

if i find rust i grind it back to baremetal with the hard wire brush attatchment then i prime it and under seal it

the trick is not to cover up rust as it will come back and bite you later

some times when you take it right back to metal you find bits that look minor turn into holes that were hidden

factory underseal

any body know what the rubber textured body seal stuff is that is used from the factory,it seems the perfect stuff for redoing the underside of the cav and getting a better than factory finish leaving no tacky messy bits and easy to paint body colour
