I recently sent an email to 888 engineering again about whether they would be interested in providing some tuning for the VX, especially considering their background into the Astra touring car and they had already done all the development on the engine, but unfortunately I got a polite 'not interested' email back - Spoilsports :( John.

They're based in MK are they not? At least I'm sure they used to be - could be handy for us in Milton Keynes.

They may well do, does anyone of you MK boys want to approach them? I was a bit disappointed with 888 to be honest, considering all they would have to evaluate would be exhaust etc and some suspension and brake mods, I was told by them them last time a couple of years back that +200bhp would not be a problem as the touring car block puts out around 300bhp. Oh well.
