Alps Pacino

I used to pride myself on never owning a vauxhall but i lapsed today and have to say i'm well impressed with it so far. Even had a dabble with a m5 on the way home and off a roundabout in 2nd gear upto 130 the m5 wasnt making any ground on me lol I think its cause it weights the best part of fuck all. I wonder how it would go with a remap and exhaust hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Alps Pacino

a lot better than i thought it would tbh it attracts some bellends though i have had about 15 nob heads pestering fuck out of me in about 20 miles of driving tonight lol.

Tbh i never used to think that sort of thing wouldnt be for me but its totally different from anything i have had before and i'm loving it so far

VX220 Turbo.




Drove one a while back and was quite suprised by it !!!!!

bud-weis

awesome machine

RichardPON

Class. Was seriously considering one of those.

Bet it feels good now the sun is out etc..... How does it feel just doing trips to the shops etc?

Alps Pacino

I'm 25 and single and work away 6 months of the year so i dont really do trips to the shops lol. Looking at the boot space though i would guess you could do the weekly no problem as long as you dont need a mega amount of food, room for probably 5 or 6 backs easy

RichardPON

Had the MR2 for years so that wouldn't be an issue.

How does it drive though? Feel every bump and rise in the road?

Dan

Awesome cars! In a nice understated colour too!

I must admit I was expecting to see a 2.0ltr Nova when I opened the link!

Awesome cars, shame ford arent capable of making an equivalent!

paul16v

What about that wide arched nova you had

It looks well that mate.

bigchez

I've heard that they do handle well to a point, but then the back end snaps very quickly! Nice buy though fella.

how quick are these compared to a stage 3 rwd cossie? I know they are a total package car and not just about grunt. My mate has got one and keeps wanting a race!

Not had a time to hand his arse to him yet though

It's Czech Mate

Ridiculous comment, the fact is they choose not to

Or Vauxhall, seeing as Lotus made it for them

Fucking quick little cars, but a genuine 350 BHP one got destroyed by my mates (now mine) saff, but it was/is running 850cc injectors + a T4 , so it's not really a fair fight.

VX's are great cars, and vauxhall had the bollocks to put a decent engine in unlike the lotus..... and a chipped 300BHP + one is a weapon

It's Czech Mate

Nothing to do with having the bollocks, it was never in their mission statement for the elise to have an engine with the power delivery of a turbo


Are you trying to say Lotus are scared of making a 220 bhp Elise? As if they have never made a version of that chassis with an engine of that power or more?

Alps Pacino

I used it as a runabout shitbox so dont actually class it as 1 of my cars, plus i'm trying to forget all about that chav mobile

Rhys

Cool little cars. My mate has one, and when i went in it felt like a go kart lol.


Keep telling him to get it remaped.

the good thing is, is that theres not much vauxhall in em lol.

i love em, mates got a non turbo in yellow lol, not been out in it yet but he raves about it!

rear shocks go on them, and so do the the rear brakes iirc.

nice cars!!

ps, you didnt buy it thismorning did you, and wernt driving it down the m4 about 7am?

as you really dont see them often and i saw one, in that colour today lol
