Yea, same car. Opel is the German make, Vauxhall is British, and Holden is the Australian equivalent. Of course, I'm still trying to find a Chevrolet badge to fit it.....

Pro-Flow cockpit adjustable MAF calibrator (to control injectors) value-->$200
Solid engine mount and roll restrictors (reduce wheel hop as well as drop several pounds) value-->$285
SVT throttle body value-->$100
3L upper intake, ported
3 liter lower intake with secondaries removed
gutted manifold cats (eliminates flow restrictions as well as drops weight) value-->$75

Gotta love parents. And no, I'm not one of those rich kids that my parents buys me everything. I bought each of my vehicles fairly cheap and did some work to get them all nice.
