Bought this 4 weeks ago from a chap that uses this forum. Great car, very very very fast and loads of fun. Just not practical enough. Would like too see what I paid for it - email for more details / questions etc.

The car is capable in the dry of hitting 120mph is approx 12 seconds = Lots of fun!

Oh dear, sorry it doesn't suit... But good god that must be one of the shortest tenancies to date.

[luke.]

Good luck with the sale. You should wait till summer i'm sure you would change your mind then

[GeorgeBC]

What's the figure you have in mind? Might be worth selling sum of the mods separate get your money. Is this the one that Edwards ran a project on? Good luck with the sale!

[rob999]

Yeh that's Adams old VX. Good luck with the sale...

[Mangham54]

Still think 4weeks is no way to be able to make a decision on whether it is suitable or not... Unless you expected it to have rear seats or an optional bike rack. As a matter of interest what part of the ownership is not practical enough and is there not some way of getting around it.

[bazMV6]

You bought a stage 4 VX and are now selling because it isn't "practical enough"?

[Twisted John]

Looking to just get what I paid for it - £12500. Yes its Adams old project car. currently just needs resolve the airflow issue but other than that its great fun! Not practical as I look like an idiot trying to get out of it and aquired the new name 'gay boy' ! All that aside I get bored of my cars quickly and move on to the next one! Next one will be an M3 but sadly it will be slower! Email for more details!

[Boombang]

Any interest in selling parts off it with standard bits as part ex? (wheels / diffuser / suspension)

[edwards]

This might be a bit easier on the eye:

car is truely stunning with a massive spec of excellent modifications, which are:

full respray in vauxhalls mandarin
lowerd all around on nitron 1way adjustable coilover suspension with eibach springs
6 fin black MMG diffuser
black spoiler
black side vents
black v grill
black screen surround
the wheels are compomotive mo's, 16" front and 17" rear's with orange stickers to suit the car
nearly new tyres all around
full black hard wearing interior carpet set
full black leather interior
cd player with built in hands free kit (this is excellent and very clear)

the engine modifications are:
lightend and balanced flywheel
uprated clutch kit
charge cooler kit with front mounted pre-rad and blue samco hoses
vxr turbocharger
regal inlet cam
vxr afm
vxr injectors
de-restricted airbox with new filer and drilled to increase airflow
there is more than likely more so i will add to this when i think of anything.

Full milltek exhaust inc sports car and tubular manifold

this is (in my opinion) the best looking and best spec vx220 turbo on the current market. i would like to add that i will get better pictures of the car as these do it no justice at all.

the car was once involved in a light accident, this was recorded as cat c, so this will reflect on the price i know but please keep in mind the spec of this car. full vic check complete etc.

any questions please ask

It can take longer than that to get the V5 that says it's yours.

Hi Could you post more photos on here and can you confirm does it still come with the Miltek - what bhp difference is it to standard vxt

Edited by Jez, 30 March 2011 - 07:40 AM.

[edwards]

it does come with milltek, i never changed that before john had it unsure if john has mapped and dyno'd it yet but it shouldnt be too far off 300bhp with the spec? john, i realy think you need to give the car abit more time, the summers on its way and trust me you will 100% love it in the dry weather! stop being a girl and give it time! unpracticle cars are a mans car

Thanks for the information - do you know if there are any more photos of it anywhere ?

[ChrisS1]

Next one will be an M3 but sadly it will be slower!

Email for more details!

There was someone looking to swap their M3 for a Vx turbo.
Have a look in the classifieds.
