I just bought a 1996 model Holden Astra GSi (not a toyota, I know!)
but it was a bargain and I'm looking for anyone who knows well known companies that modify these coz i can't find any aftermarket parts for it.
Any help would be appreciated!!!!!

best mod would be sell it for a profit and buy a car with a sporty engine that can handle mods as the astra engine were designed for economy

Make sure you keep it out of the sun, because the interiors in those will self destruct too.

i had a sweet astra and all i did was put a magnaflow twin outlet muffler and K&N filter. Keep the original middle of the exhaust as you get problems with throttle response

OPC would be the people that modify Opel. Also Steinmetz (DE)& Courtney (UK) would have something for the GSi. Try www.opelaus.com for some more info but most of them are Astra G & Corsa C owners rather than your Astra F.

I wasn't looking at making it go fast as such coz i know it not the best for it.
But I wanted to find some cool euro stuff to get for it like a bodykit and and wheels and stuff.
Exhaust is easy enough but there is an led display in the cabin that tells you what radio station you are on and I lose that if i get an aftermarket cd player and i wanna find something that will se the display.
Blaupunkt don't do one and i don't think anyone else do.
I thought maybe an digital fm cd stacker would work though

Try finding some decent 5x110mm wheels for the ABS models this side of $2000 except stockers. You're just lucky the Astra-F only has a 4x100 PCD.
Anyway, Z20LET are hard to come by and finding a front cut is also hard.
Go to the site above and there'll be people who've owned Astra-F before.
Phillips makes head units to with the MFD. Blaupunkt do make head units that is also compatible with the MFD.
www.carshine.com.au are a place to get body kits but expect to pay with both your kidneys, your next child and both your testicles. TCCA in Artarmon also have stuff for it but you only need to fork over one of your kidneys and maybe your right testicles.
