That’s why we build cars. Each of there own taste and this guy loves his motor, hats off too him, negative comments against a guys pride and joy id say remove the comments and just don’t watch the video
Daniel Tinsley I’m a mk1 focus RS owner and my friend has a vxr and I like them shame the standard gearbox is made of chocolate
And the engine should of been forged being a flagship model
Last of the fun Vauxhall’s as the gtc vxr is way to heavy for it to be competitive weighing in at 1500kg
@@robertpaget809 cant say the gearbox is that bad, had astra OPC with close to 500hp GT3076r turbo setup most bought from courtaney sport UK, it saw the drag strip most wekeends and more racing from new and it was used hard when racing as it was build for it, never had a gearbox failure, but it got quiefe LSD in the first 3 months, burnout in 2 gear to warm up the slick on the drag strip. 2007 model and one time the 4 gear went if I remember right after 8 years of racing.
Also used all days year round full interior, driven in snow on 18" studded tiers and running 17" road legal slicks in the summer,
I think it is all how the driver treats his car if you abuse it and it is not build for it, it will fail on you.
@@fohelle1990 I can honestly say the gearbox is that bad I’ve came across loads of these gearboxes that have failed on the main shaft bearing from diesel zafira to astra vxr,s all carrying the same weak gearbox
From the M32 to the F40 weak and certainly not built for out and out power
@@robertpaget809 i know many gearboxes have failed, and i think that is most to abuse/poor maintance and the driver thinking it is okei the spin/burnout with stock diff, as my experiance it is the diff that failes
All i can say is if you put limited slip diff in the car it will hold, atleast mine did for many years of drag and some time attack racing, 2 gear burnouts on racing slicks, never had gearbox fail on me, one syncro gone bad, in 160.000km
My friend time in 1/4 mile?????
Putting big money into any car doesn't make financial sense, but that's not the point, we do it because we have a passion for cars and driving! Good on you bud!!
when you show the owner how flat shifting is done properly. his face says it all 🙌🏽
Mate thought exact same Jamie blew his fucking mind
@@JS_R35 mate cracking build though be proud G
So true 😂🙈
what means that flat shifting? please someone ca explain ths
@@alexsilva-qi3sn flat foot shifting is when you do not lift off the accelerator and the ECU is usually programmed to cut spark to help with gear changes and makes it less aggressive on the gearbox
Legit a sound humble guy as well
i think if jamie tried 0-60 in that car he would’ve got into the 5s.
Jamie showed him how to drive his own car.
He does this often
Jamie's flat shifts were definitely on point 💪
@@Saif0412 for someone that just has started getting into driving what is flat shifting ?
@@alexanderdanielsson6049 when you change gear while still accelerating
@@MrFreebieJeebs do u know how it works.
Can’t say I’m a fan of it cutting at 6k but flat foot shift sounds mad 😂😂
Especially with such a laggy turbo lol
Dom A og didn’t want to drive for long cos it looked slow
Mapping is not finished, it will be reving higher for sure once they finished mapping
That needs mapping properly. I’ve never seen a astra at any stage of power only rev to 6k. Pipercams on a KO6 Turbo with a built engine needs to be revving to 7.5k no stress at all! I’d recommend going to RND Motorsport for Tuning.
^^^
JS rabbid is very good too have had 2 Astra’s & 2 Corsas mapped by Him 👌🏼 just get it tweaked and get it right mate it will be a different car!
@@JS_R35 Super clean build bro, big up 👍🏾So much potential to come 💯
Yeah those extra revs will help get extra power as well because the turbo comes very late and their isn't much revs to get the power down
@big Daddy presumably you mean rnd??? When there cars go on other rollers and make 40hp less😂😂
🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
DMO Deejay are you being racist?
That map is grim.
needs to throw the tune away and start again, find a new tuner. sounds like it's gonna break something
Rabbid for you 😂 didn’t have enough time to map it, usual excuse for a shite map.get it over to RnD for some proper magic!
@@nelson3228 where’s rnd?
this is by far the best lookin body stylr astra looks so mean
Personally I prefer the curvier looks of my shape, but the previous shape are a lot more driver engaging and lighter, only let down by the gearbox
Agreed the new astra is like the vxrs boring dad 😂😁
Saj-Kun best looking but going around corners was fuckin horrendous with 5he torque steer 😱😱🤞
New vxr Astra’s are kinda ugly ngl but the mk1 gte mk2 gte mk3 Sri and mk4 Sri is wicked
RatRaceProducing boring dad ? What does that mean lol also I think you’ll find every Vauxhall’s is boring not sure I’d say they are anything like a dad though 🤔...
Think you have some issues to work out 😍
I appreciate anyone who puts money in to there car and does it up. Doesn't matter what car it is. It becomes a hobby, and gives you a purpose to work, and something to look forward to. However getting a 0-60 time, the same as standard. After putting 10 grand into a car must of been devastating :/
Just to clarify some mistakes in this review:
The limiter is 7500RPM, the power peaks around 6500RPM
and there is no early limiter.
Why is it limiting or cutting earlier? Because of driver error, by riding the clutch pedal you engage the clutch switch which will trigger flat shift when you don't want it. By removing your foot from the clutch pedal completely and not riding your clutch you will have no issue. Flat shift begins at 5000 with a timing retard and fully engages by 6000 stepping up to a ignition cut and fuel cut to hold the target RPM.

We're only able to show you this now has John has just brought the car in for a health check after some 6 months on the road, it has performed perfect all this time, has been to the Nürburgring and is actually making a tad more power now.
Needless to say John is more than happy and the car is great, may not be for everyone, but everyone likes different things and we build what we like.
Cant wait to get to the point when I can come to you guys with mine it’s gonna be new year tbf but works in progress 🙌🏽
Love the build this guys done if I get to 80% I’ll be happy 👍🏽
Sick car bro. Vauxhall’s always getting unfairly disrespected in the scene.
The only clowns that disrespect them are the ones that have been whooped by one or have never driven one.
Dickheads buy them, rag them like a Type R, don’t bother with maintenance then slate/rant when it goes bang...
Happens with a lot of cars but VXRs do get it plenty, Corsa’s probably even more than Astra’s... “chocolate gearbox, piston number 4” ...Waste drivers and shit maps more like! 🤣🤣
Because the Corsa has give them a bad rap for being a nonce car lol
Jamie knows this road so well that he full sends everything that visits his chanel 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great car but this map is horrible
Yea hard it seems so safe in my opinion, like the limiter needs to be raised 🙃
No harm in ring safe it's defo not slow. My Z20let gsi zafira bangs at 7200 😉
The map is totally fine it seems like hes changing gear too early. Look at how much higher it gets on the 0-60 run. The car bogs down when he launches and changes gear.
@@JS_R35 ahhh I see that does seem odd. You thinking of changing that? Would love to see it afterwards
@@JS_R35 Looks immense mate thatll be one savage car after those few tweaks
The guys face when Jamie is flat shifting 🙌🏻
😯😯😯
See this guy driving around all the time. It’s savage
what area is he from, it rings a bell too
@@Muwahhid1003 its in mexico
Think ive seen him in essex
0-60 in 6-7 seconds is not savage, my remapped jeep does it quicker than that lol
@@bigmatt2896 0-60 is irrelevant in a powerful fwd car. From a roll it would be a monster.
Decent motor, £10k tho...good for him, each to their own & a proper genuine/humble & honest guy!
That 6k cut off is killing it. Nice car though
Whats the point of cams and a big turbo to only rev to 6k on a built engine. 7.5k limit and your power is gonna be way more. 8.2k rev limit and she'll fly literally. Best you get back to that mapper of yours.
You have a valid point but he did say he had alternator issues synonyms session cut short so maybe done supper safe until he can return
And a k06 is hardly a big turbo, these only make around 330 on a standard mani, 370ish on the tubular mani, so the figures on the e85 are pretty fucking good!
Something don’t seem right with that! I’ve cone across 400bhp Astra’s there rapid as fuck it’s almost like turbo not fully spooling at all 🤔
Turbo is too big. especially since its being cut at 6k it would benefit from a much smaller turbo so it spools from like 2 and half k so you can take full advantage of that short rev range it has before the cut
it sounds like he is money shifting
@@Ak__Beats I don't think you know what that means
Either the map is fucked (has mentioned it didnt do many runs) Or those cams are fucking the turbo, it's spooling way too late for a K06 could also be a boost leak. It's probably making 430 only briefly and looks to me like it's making low 300s maybe even high 200s most the rev range till it hits that boost spike just as it hits limiter, it's a cock tease that power band.
Flat shifting with the ignition cut sounds naughty though
It's a K06 on a tubular manifold in our opinion a bad combination, but it is what it is.
When it comes to tubulars a proper GTX or EFR will spool better or make 50-100HP more with similar lag to this.
There is no 6k limiter, they're just riding the clutch when they shouldn't be triggering the clutch switch at the wrong time. Demo here: ruclips.net/video/ebhCm_inTr4/видео.html
It ain’t an Astra no more man it’s an Astra super saiyan blue 💫
“What’s the standard 0-60?” 6.2 seconds.
10K spent… Ethanol, anti lag, flat foot shifting.
0-60 first pull 7.02🧐🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
Hats off to this guy.. a man after my own heart.. nothing like transforming your own whip into a beast.. Only a true petrol head would understand why an individual would spend tons of money on their car putting their own stamp on it!! Jamie love your channel man.. guaranteed to get your fans buzzing with your content!! Keep it up!
17:42 priceless reaction from both. Loved it hahaha
Hes thinking "i didnt know my car could do this" 😂😂😂😂😂
Mad vxr, such a soft spot for these. I think the low limiter is a drawback and would be nice if it could rev to 7k+ but still, this car is sick.
the VXR probably can go that far but as you can tell OG driving it compared to the owner is completely different the 2 different driving experiences. I just with the owner would off opened it up or push it as much as Jamie did
This car has so much more to offer can tell it’s just being held back way too much!! Sick car looks awesome, I like how he’s kept it OEM+ on the exterior, absolute sleeper if he sorts that 6k thing out!! Them flat shifts are fucking brutal🥵🥵
Nothing wrong with a Vauxhall
10k in and still getting stock 0-60 😂
Jamie bossed the flat foot shifting lol owners face tho🤣 mad #gassedgang
The smiles and laughs when you were flat foot shifting make it all worthwhile the work and money that's been put into it. Better than spending all your cash at pub or in bookies. Two top blokes, great upload Jamie! Cheers 👍 Jack 😎
I’m surprised it’s been this long for an Astra VXR feature there’s hundreds of big builds out there haha! Fair play to this guy, a good amount of mods to the engine and nothing crazy on the outside. I think it could/would potentially be less laggy, higher revving and overall smoother to drive if it was mapped differently with possibly a lower peak power but for longer.
Don’t let this be the last one you feature Jamie, they are “just a Vauxhall” but when they’re built strong, setup well and mapped right, they drive better than just any Vauxhall, with a rear anti roll bar and decent coilovers they debunk all the myths and actually go around corners too...
Alright you can’t bray it like a k20, it won’t suck corners flat out like an Evo, but they’re definitely capable of having a go.
Instant like before watching ANY officially gassed video
astra vxrs are really underrated, people always slate them but in reality they are such great fun to drive.
I've got one at 310bhp and it seems easily as quick as this one though which is odd, the stock engine can comfortably do over 7k limiter, mines at 7200 on stock internals and will do the 0-62 in the high 5s on a ko4 turbo
Its good to see more black youtes genuinely into cars and not just buying the best looking merc or audi. We need more people in the car community.
I literally said this myself, being white myself, I'm genuinely sick of seeing white guys cars, I wanna see more ethnicity
I agree man ❤️🙌🏾🏁
Johnny Hale just need a bit more representation and everyone will be in the car scene. We need it bc im seeing less and less car guys nowadays.
Johnny Hale i love how i can bond with anyone in the car scene and look past and respect our differences
Id love to take part but its a bit too expensive 😭😭😭
Seems like it needs to rev out more, by the time the turbos coming on boost he's hitting the limiter, I think this car has loads more potential
Stuart Stokes that’s my thoughts exactly it’s mapped badly so much more potential
Get a volvo c30 t5 on there plz. Haven't seen one yet.
Yes T5 please 5 cyl
Indeed 👀
need some more oddball cars
Ollie Johnson ?
@@Benji5PoT I mean some not so mainstream cars. Hidden jems, underdogs.... Somethin that isn't a golf, fiesta, bimmer etc
I have a 12 plate one it’s an animal rs slayer
The fact that this man enjoys it makes me smile👌👍
Definitely have a soft spot for these. When you do proper research on them you learn just how competent they really are.
Nurburgring fwd record holder after all
Man, don't mention tractors to Jamie. He's got history with tractors
Nothing wrong with dropping 10k into one of these always have a soft spot for vxr 👍
I'm with you on that, another great 1 I remember shortly after this was the insignia vxr.... what a dream that was
Nice car but stage 2 map , intake and decat on my bmw m135i I’m running same or more power max would cost me £700 and it would be more fun
Always been my favourite car the Astra VXR. Always preferred to the focus ST. Not sure why just personal choice
Awesome lol, this guy loves his car man, good for him, seems even more impressed when hes in the passenger seat lol. He's just super happy with what he's built!!!
I want the Gran Turismo banner across my windshield.
Sounds like a WRC car. But that limiter is way to low and that cut is stupid.
One of the best looking Vauxhalls of the past decades especially in this color. Awesome build sounds wicked.
Jamie you just showed the owner how to wake up his 10k worth of mods 🤘🏽
Preferred my 300bhp with out that 6k shit 😂
Those bangs between gears must feel good 💥😙
Can you get it back when the map is sorted? Would be good to see what it can actually do!
That engine cover is just sick!
Probably would of got into the 5secs if my man wasn’t a walking mountain
This guys a hero, fuck what people say bout Vxr's, he's done a brilliant job. And Jamie's shifting is maddd
This guy out here making LLF look basic🤣 keep up the good videos Jamie!
Fr. This is tv quality we getting for free on RUclips
Rabbid mapped! 🙄 he always has issues with throttle closure, Rev cut at 6k 👎🏽 can’t map for shit
One of a kind vxr Astra right here.
I have the same passion this dude had and I want to do +/- the same build, I don't care if the car is shit or if is it going to break soon, i want this car so bad, congratulations bro and thank you for gaving me motivation to keep grinding in life at the end what's matter, it is if you are happy with the car! Much love from🇵🇹🔥
@@JS_R35 Sure mate, because here in Portugal VXR/OPC it's such a rare car, the model Opel Astra H OPC it only exists 12 in the whole country, I think I will be the first to put such a power to this model, and because no 1 never build something with this model, definitely I will call you out, just tell me your Instagram, cheers mate 🤙🏻
10k into the car and still hitting the stock 0-60 times. Something is wrong with this car for sure, it don't sound the best
Respect to the guy Nice car unique and different to the usual German stuff .
plenty of power left in that car with e85. e85 can handle about 10 to 12 degrees extra timing at the top end compared to a petrol car and a bit more boost too. wouldnt be surprised to see 450 bhp on that
Vauxhall Madness baby🤪
Owner is a proper lad. Cheers!
Doesn't go like 430bhp
Standard 0-60 in 6.2 spends £10000 0-60 6.2 ! Hmmm
Ouch! Major L
Dee P driver error me thinks as Jamie showed him how to drive it !
RiNZLER ! He bogged it in 2nd and the launch was pitiful...a better driver would’ve got lower
what a humble guy. Respect ngl.
Never been 430bhp, I drive a mid 400hp astra my self and it’s in a completely different leagues to that
I look forward to seeing it on the channel!
CharlieSkids 😂😂😂 nice draw out he defo lying
I fucking want this car, I don’t even care about the rev limit but this is perfect for me
Nice to see a VXR and it sounds proper beasty aswell nice car fella and great review cheers Jamie 👍🏽
Sweet build, German cars for the win :D
Vauxhall is a German car with a british badge. Well it is an Opel for uk market
@@kingofohio5689 actually no, the Opel is German, the Vauxhall is British, there is no taking away where a car company was founded (ps Vauxhall was founded first in 1857, opel 1862)
the soundddddddddd 😬😨also love the owners reaction to you gunning it haha
Jamie I want to see you in a metro 6r4 and a escort mk2 cosworth turbo swapped please make this happen bro 🙏🙏
I think it mapped good for flat shift as Jamie says, when hitting limit at 8000 then bouncing off limiter flat shifting, not good for engine
Mans whipping a vauxhall! I think I now like Vauxhall's... For the first time ever...
He’s the only guy that made it look cool
If you've never had this car, you're not a real petrol head lol but.. and its a big but! they're not reliable
Ermmm so anyone who has never had an Astra VXR is not a 'real petrolhead' ?
Absolutely pmsl bro .......
Not a bad shout limiting torque on the lower map, preserve your gearbox etc they are known as a bit of a weak spot. Ultimately you still the same bhp so up top won't feel too much difference, of course the overall work/effort ont he frotn wheels is reduced so slight difference but not enough to constantly risk your gbox. We'll thought out build
10k in and would have me coming past wafting along in the standard 330d, get a proper map sorted asap!!!
This channel posts my favourite cars week in week out, content is up there with the best... work rate of Jamie is incredible, vibes? GASSED💥
Nice car .. I had a 420 bhp hybrid turbo seat Leon mk2 and I don’t understand why the vxr only revs to 6k. The cupra just started making full power at 4500 rpm..
Instant thumbs up for Gran Turismo Banner.
Bro...bro..bro again..Haha classic OG sick car
The owners face after the flat shift!!! 😁🤣😆 Class, Nicely done car should be proud of it... It makes all the right noises 👏👌🎶
Just a shame he will never get his money back once sold.
Seeing his face driving passenger says it all the cars his pride and joy such a good vibe to watch car is a beast mate round of applaude!
Real nice guy very humble
Jamie smashing the content lately,hope doesn't change like LLF did and wreck a good channel 👍.🍻
Nice job nice car. Love mine 👍🏼
Probably the best Astra vxr around👌👌
Keep em going Jamie🙋♂️
18:29 Nice shifting! Even the owner is impressed 😂👍
Flat shifting isnt good for your engine
Is it just me or does this look slow as fuck
Sounds brutal! Great video yet again🤙🏽
That vauxhall sound has bought me back in 🕰️. VW man now, but that tone🔊💥. Nice build! Only a vauxhall, but what's underneath🐺 in 🐑 clothing 👍
That car is a fucking monster bro
Great build but needs mapping properly!
top bloke nice car
Love the car quality build and owner hope he gets the rev limiter upped💣💥
Flat shift is awesome but the 6k hhmmm
Jamie with the flat shifting pure fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
