Astra VXR - Bedford Autodrome - 11/03/2024
First track day of 2024.
This time we are at Bedford Autodrome for the Gt layout which is the 3.8 mile circuit. Love this track in the Astra.
Was a damp day so we were on Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 road tyres to be on the safe side but they performed pretty well in the conditions!

Astra VXR - Cadwell Park Evening Session 10/08/2023
Просмотров 116Месяц назад
Another late upload! This time we went to Cadwell Park for an evening session. Love Cadwell Park. It’s a nice local track for me and one of the UK’s best. Was a hot day this one and I felt ill throughout due to it so didn’t catch loads of footage or go too mad, could only manage 2-3 laps at a time before feeling sick! Any way here it is.. #astra #vxr #astravxr #vauxhall #vauxhallvxr #vauxhallas...

@@R77DVR 🤣🤣
Love my Vxr, 127k still purrs like a beast, and forever still chasing more with it😂😂 Not done donny’ watched Btcc there a few times… once mods are done this winter think I’ll give it a go next year… keep up the great content though!
Great track. Arguably one of the best in the UK… don’t be put off by the higher price tag for a day, it’s worth it. Track Obsession usually do a cheaper day there the Monday after download festival in June as there’s an hour less track time but it’s still enough.
Ive got the 7.5 R estate and i love it, a great all rounder had the 7 before it with the 6 speed DSG but the 7.5 has a 7 speed which i find a massive difference
Do like the 7.5… Sadly got rid of this as I just wasn’t enjoying it enough. I think I’d like to get back in a 7.5 again but probably a tuned GTI in manual. Not a slate on them at all. It did what it was supposed to do incredibly well!!
Still got her then mate I sold mine in January this year 😢 had no room for 3 cars and wasn't getting used in winter but gone to a person I know who's taking gd care of it
I have, presently feeling sorry for itself though. Recently had some issues with it and with a ring trip coming up I had no time to sort it out so I’ve been using my new Clio 200 a lot! Will be back though!
The Astra vxr are a rare site now, they were a lot of performance for small money
Good ones hard to come by. Few gems still about owned by hardcore fans though! Yes, bang for buck not much else compares
Which one do you recommend buying? CAE or ZPO?
I prefer the ZPO, cheaper, more customisation options, smoother gear change, tighter shift and less noise!
was there a noticeable difference compared to b14 bud
Huge… I’m unsure how much difference individually they did as I did other mods at the same time but I think these were the main difference
@@R77DVR what's the ride like for theses bad UK roads
Firm but compliant. Absolutely no worse than B14s which were great
Could you do a full walk around of what you’ve done to the car since ??Love it
Hi mate. Thanks for watching. That’s something I have been planning on doing at some point along with other vids I’ve had ideas for. Lack of time gets in the way mind! Watch this space. I’ll upload something at some point!
Time?
Blimey, long time ago! I think it was late 13s on a good run that day but mostly made up of 13s and 15s. Always been a fan of track driving over the strip and drag!
Who says astra vxrs are bad haha ?? No one thats who haha
In 2005 when released 240ps out of fwd 2 litre was really something Had a brand new arden blue on 19”s in 2007 What a car
Doncaster Stigg does Clio 200.
What a headline that would be
In fact I think that could be a great new channel name 😂
@@R77DVR 🤣🤣
Top vid mate really like those zpo shifters
Thanks mate. Yep. They are great piece of kit. Honestly change the whole driving experience
Can't wait to see this at Donny 😬
Yeah boi! Glad you are well.
Thanks mate
Epic upgrades mate
this is what people buy when not repairing it ever other day 😅😅
@@justlooking3417 😂😂😂😂
Yep. Hopefully they improve the whole thing even more
Be nice 😂 thanks for watching mate
Great vid. I have the same fears entering ar1 land 😂👍
Sure they will be good for the 💰 🔥
@@R77DVR Indeed. Onwards! 💥💥🤛🤛
Orderd my zeropointone alsow mate:) can't wait! Nice upgrades🔥👌
Lovely bit of kit aren’t they!!!
@@R77DVR i don't no yet, its on his way, please tell me its worth the 1100 euro because in the Netherlands you have to pay 200 euros extra to get it deliverd🙈🙈
Definitely worth it. I have the CAE one at the moment which is great but hard work. ZPOs are much lighter and nicer to drive with. You’ve made the right choice my man 👊🏻
Where did you get your downpipe with sports cat from please
Hi mate. That was a TX auto sport one. No idea if they still make them mind!
Really enjoyable watching your track day and the commentary. Thanks for sharing
Thank you mate for watching and the positive feedback. I will keep uploading!
Are you using a gear stick raiser? If so what hight? Love the sound man. Can't beat the sound of a Z20 ❤
Hi mate. No, it’s a CAE Shifter 🔥👍🏼
Hi mate I saw you have rear camber shims. Just wondering if you worked out how thick a shim for how much camber change? Like if a 1mm shim is out in the bottom two bolts on the rear beam what kind of change will it make and does it effect the toe as well. if you happen to know will save me a lot of stuffing around. Cheers mate. Nice track day vids btw.
Hi mate. I never fitted these ones but I’m sure they are the whiteline ones you can buy from there and Courtney sport. They provide an extra - 0.5 degrees of negative camber so mine runs -1.9 sure it gives extra toe also. Try this link… www.courtenaysport.co.uk/Camber-Toe-Shim-Rear-KCA383 Thanks re the vids, to keep up the content I’ve had to move away from blight crap so glad to know it’s being enjoyed or useful 👍🏼
Never let go of that car
I have zero intentions of!!
Do you have a LSD fitted
Yes mate, MFactory Helical 👍🏼 Pretty good but considering the direction the car is headed in usage wise I’m considering something a bit more hardcore
@@R77DVR Cool thanks for your reply
No worries mate 👍🏼
Shame we didn’t get some laps in together during the day, always one of us on cool down laps. Next time though buddy 👌👌
Yeah timing was always off… let’s make sure the garages are next door on the next one
Those gloves are but off putting !
Those gloves are awesome! Cheap too!

Some Wicked time on the track. She absolutely goes 🏎️
Hi buddy! that thing was flying, got a little bit of footage from behind: ruclips.net/video/Odgj-_dI7U8/видео.html
Hi Mate. Thanks. Just watched your vid. Nice accord! Was a good day tbf!!!
Hi mate is your spot meter set up correctly on the camera ? Take it that your use date a GoPro?
Nothing is set up well on it. It’s a Hero4 and it’s crap tbh! Will be upgrading it for next year
From my experience of owning one the 02 sensor is a problem Gearbox Anti roll bar is badly needed. On thr good side the only performance car i would pick ove it is te rs265 megane. A simple remap and a phew cheap modifications is the difference between beating a 333bhp focus st225 and staying up with a bmw m4 and one or too odd porsches. Most definetly a car i will get again.
Yep. Agreed. Been through a few 02 Sensors across the three I’ve now owned. Thanks for watching, still can’t believe people still watch this video all these years on!
@@R77DVR just dying to buy mine back again🤣
@@evanenright367 my latest one is my third one… love them. Did a short vid on the new one a while back. Worth a watch
He's back, looked a fun day!
seems very short in gears like its no legs. is it running cams
Oh it’s got legs, piper fast road cams, RND vernier pulleys and a 7700 rpm rev limit… not always used to it’s full potential but she moves well… only thing I could possibly complain about is being a K06 there’s a tad bit of lag over a K04 but nothing to get hugely upset or frustrated over
Current. krs stage 2 k04 ts actuator wi piper valve springs on klassen exhaust manifold. klassen inlet wi remus uprated 340 fuel pump courtney cdti drilled airbox itg filter was advised on inlet cam only 👍
Nice spec… I fancy the Klassen exhaust mani and a KRS Stage 3 but only when this current turbo has its day. Not yearning for any more power at present and tbh I’m planning on stopping anything more on this and putting into a new project
Very good very nice 🚗
Book a track day *%#¥
@@R77DVR no need when we can just go Mexico. That's where the real men race now
Nice shifter! Elbows out 😄
It’s good but surprisingly hard work… It’ll be getting changed for a ZPO one when they get released in due course fingers crossed
Sounds nice bro
Would have loved to watch only 10 mins away too! Gorgeous Cars 😃
What size are the wheels
18s bud, 8J and ET35, given a little extra poke with 12mm TPI spacers
@@R77DVR nice they look like 19s iv just got a set of Bola csr 18s gloss black with 20mm spacers on the back I would love to put 19s on but it drives spot on doesn't feel like u smashed the car to bit every time u hit a pot hole 🤣
Mate sounds mint looks the bollacks 😎 and goes round corners impressive 👌 I need to do a few things to mine witch is on your car 100% buzzing to finely see the beast in action 👍
It’s cornering ridiculously well now. Only the tyres and more bravery are what needs improvement… yeah it does sound good doesn’t it? Addictive
@@R77DVR definitely mate iam going to concentrate on the handling set up now iv got pilot sport 4s on mine there realy good 👍
@@R77DVR iv got the piper 3 decat Non res would be nice to hear it on track 😂
This has NS2R’s going AR1’s for next year
You might struggle with a one box decat on a few tracks 😂
100 to 200?
Haven’t measured it…
@@R77DVR what about the 100 to 200 time?
I haven’t bothered timing it… not really fussed in knowing really!
Regarding the dreaded "torque steer" : i don't know about you, but I tend to keep my hands on the wheel when flooring it. And the amount of force required to keep it straight is something a six-year-old can easily possess. And that coming from an owner of a 500 ps plus car (with wavetrack diff and rear antiroll bar). If you like it...invest in it. Pure fan car.
Utter truth 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼 My new one is 350bhp with a K06…. It’s not an issue as you say
The rest of the system stock?
Yep. At the time. This was just the back box. I later swapped it for a Tegiwa Cat back which was loads better!
@@R77DVR sounds good for just a backbox. Thinking of getting something small before I go get my full system
Honest opinion? Don’t bother just wait and go full system… I was somewhat underwhelmed by this set up which is why I changed it and went for Tegiwa Cat Back
@@R77DVR oh ok, I was thinking about getting the skunk2 exhaust
Nice exhausts from what I hear… that nice typical of tuned Honda sound. All depends what you are after. I opted for Tegiwa as quiet for track days
Wip ….wat a tit
Top vid mate and honest review 👏 I Love my VXR its the best and most exciting car I've ever owned and I'm only running 250ish Bhp. Whiteline RARB on the list and hopefully 300 bhp by summer 💣💥🔥🔥 only if you hit a lumpy bit of road when powering up i find it a bit twitchy otherwise no Torque steer even with ESP Off imo. Modern drivers rely way too much on ''ecu control' for handling and get scared of driving the car with its stabilisers off. They're really missing out on the real handling capabilities and fun the car has too offer. Bit of an essay lol but I hope you understand the message I'm trying to convey. Cheers Pete.
Check out the vid on my latest Astra. 350bhp K06 one 🔥 that’s a handful 😂
@@R77DVR Will do M8 - Sounds exciting 😀 🔥🔥
For the money, ie a 10 plate with 40k for example, priced at under £10,000 they are ok. For the same money, you are looking at a 100,000 miles + M135i albeit on a newer 13 plate. Personally I know which I'd have, because I prefer RWD, more power, better quality interior, and reliability. But, each to their own.
Couldn’t argue with that comment tbf mate. That’s a car that does intrigue me tbf so I’d love to have a go in one.
I couldn't agree more. Great Video 💎! Easy video ranking - P R O M O S M!!!
Thank you!
Good to see you back Ry, if you want another family estate car that isn’t a safe bet, that spins all 4 wheels when you nail it, that is just insanely fast, you can buy my RS6 if you like lol. 732bhp 990NM will put a smile on your face. Might scare the mrs and kids though……..my wife is very scared of it lol!!
