Had a text off Dg today saying he is receiving silicon parts today for intake and cc install. Been a few delays with Dg being ill and buying a new house amongst working on other peoples vx's I just need to get saving my pennies now for exhaust system

[Duncan VXR]

Yep between new promotion at work, young child to look after, collection of vxness and getting really ill I am a bit behind but fighting fit and just waiting for a few deliveries to finish the plumbing in the car, got to steam clean the box and final engine back together with clutch and have a proper update with pics in the next few weeks Also waiting for Lee2.2 to drop back the original loom and few other bits I need to sort the wiring out and may go mad and start it lol DG

So in Duncan terms thats about 1/2 a days work. Sounds like its coming along well.

I wish it was chris I'm massively falling out of love with it esp with the amount of nice weather we are having and not driven it since like November. Although it seems to have flown by

I wish it was 1/2 days work also lol Never nice to be without the car when the suns out but it will more than make up for it when its spitting 375bhp flames sir I am currently having to open the sun roof in the skoda estate and pretend im in a sports car.......not sure which is worse lol DG

Stick with it Luke, I was without mine for ages as well. Fallen back in love already.

Too far down the road to turn back so have no choice but to stick with it. I'll never get rid of it. It's one of those things that I just love. Sounds wierd as I'm only 23 but it makes me feel young again haha

I do miss my vx, next one will be a bit special mind and a heap of work to get right but will not be this year now due to house purchase The S3 conversion would be the sensible option as all the work will be done and just build it but that RS4 engine soooooooo wants to be in my daily drive, even if it goes against my love for forced induction. Should sound funky DG

Sorry, was reading on my phone so didn't see the other 8 pages! My Europa S is now very scared, Dg, looking forward to having final spec and pricing on the turnkey solution

[sford]

If this is ready for the Bruntingthorpe day it would be good to see you down there Luke! I'd spend some cash on a pax lap!

[luke.]
