Just because it is an SRi, doesn't mean it won't have a turbo fitted.

Maybe not from the factory, but so what!!

Anyway - from how I read it, he has leather seats from a Turbo.

Looks a nice example,
I look forward to seeing more pictures and proposed plans that you have for this car.

Regarding the Digi-dash modification - not being awkward, but I went down this route three years ago, and the vague-ness of the gauges has caused me many a sleepless night.
Think long and hard before pressing ahead with this.

I have an original Astra / Belmont owners manual here, so can always supply information about what the digi dash gauges actually represent.
