Crusoe Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 if it's still covered by it's network Q warrenty (see the sticker but not sure if it has any left) get it off sharpish and check it out. If he never drove it in the rain and has the hardtop on he might never have felt the need for the new seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) It's a way to ruin a VX by putting a stupidly heavy engine in the back of it that still only makes 300bhp.clicky. Edited February 21, 2006 by Snoopy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 If you want to go fast in a VX just buy the turbo one! Then have a word with Regal or Courtney or the like and get it tuned a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Theres supposed to be a throttle bodie 'kit' almost completed for the N/A engine.Think thats the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdwindustries Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Yep - darren people on the VX forum dont rate the turbo - the NA beats it on the track.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 For the price of a turbo you could get an N/A on throttle boddies which is lighter, more nimble, and generally better. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Mechu is pretty good still. Depends on what class of woman you want. If your average student will suffice then unfortunately selly oaks your best bet, crawling with them. You have to put up with people writing cheques for pints though. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> no-ones still interested in this thread are they?
