My Black Beast (Opel Coupe Turbo)

eXtremeza's 2001 Opel Astra

I bought my Coupe in December 2002, It had 22000 km on the clock and still looked brand new.

eXtremeza's 2001 Opel AstraIn stock form the car kicked ass, so quiet and hardly anyone knew what kind of power it had under the bonnet. Although 200hp isn't very much, in it's class nothing stock can touch it. 15.3 1/4 mile @ 150 km/h is not slow for a stock FWD car.

But soon I got bored with it's looks and speed and money started flowing towards the car...

eXtremeza's 2001 Opel AstraI first added just a front grille to remove the Opel sign and a Rear spoiler. The car still looked very stylish and attracted double the attention it previously got. I like the stock mags and not wanting to slow the car down decided against fitting 17" as is the fashion. I also Added a 12" Pioneer VCCS Sub in the Boot and 2 x JBL 5.5" to replace the Rear speakers, leaving the front standard. The sound isn't awesome but its got the bass and loudness without putting too much weight on.

Which brings us to its 2003 setup...

I added the front bumper spoiler for better airflow to the Intercooler, also added a rear bottom spoiler which really changes the way the back of the car looks. I was now happy enough with the looks of the car, onto some engine power....
