Howsit Gents,

One of the nice things about carbies in Gauteng, is that many times they turn out to be car guys. Then its all car talk, and 2min to the actual deal!

If you are a car guy, comment details about your hinn hinn!

I drive a molten orange Fiesta ST stage2. Cooler, exhaust, dp, intake(drop in), sw all done. Running ethanol on my current file for ~101 octane.
 
Currently drive a Discovery 4 V8, no mods, but prior to that had a ST225, with full exhaust, intake, cooler and some other cooling goodies and SW. Made just over 200wkw and 440 odd nm on 95, really really miss that car.

Ah man! Those Discoveries are nice, but definitely a dad car. :D

I was in 2 minds with the Focus vs Fiesta. Second hand the cost and insurance difference is negligible. I went for the ST in the end because a road legal go cart sounded fun at the time. Super happy with the car...

You went with the ST - so you got the Focus and the Fiesta?

2004 Astra G OPC Silver

In terms of mods it has all the Astra H OPC bits and bobs which was referred to back in the day as "stage 3.5". So its VXR turbo, injectors, afm, 255 lph pump, bigger cooler, 76mm dp and exhaust and obviously tuned for all the above.
