Arden blue looks a bit lighter than the ARBs colour Europa Blue is another astra colour which may be closer (My other car)

See I replaced mine and fitted the inserts But people said I could have just fitted the inserts and not worried

Mine made that noise when front lower engine mount had failed Jack the car up and slide under, you should see a metal block with a rubber core If it looks like that you need to replace it Or fit energy suspension inserts to fill the gaps Either way you need it on ramps and subframe...

I've helped strip down my mates time attack car Took literally everything out, from headlining down. The carpet with sound deadening weighed a surprising amount We even made a start on shaving the main wiring loom, no point in wires and plugs for airbags, heated seats etc

Sounds like speed sensitive steering If you turn to sharp at speed it will equal bad times, heavier steering the faster you go to help ease you into a bend

That was just have the roof too The rest of the car was reasonable pickup on the bar I was pretty shocked when i saw it mind!

I was told you can break clips being gentle, I tried gentle and it didn't budge Imagine your on a rowing machine at the gym, gets it off easily I didn't break one clip

The unsilenced one was a good laugh and sounded like a race car above 4krpm But I was getting all the attention with it fitted Silenced one would be a good balance Get a video of the axle back n1 when it's fitted

Think they use to be known as Toyosports as my mates RX8 has a full system off them

Unsilenced centre oem backbox has a fairly raspy note N1 and unsilenced is LOUD N1 and silenced is loudish Never heard an N1 and oem centre in real life
