PM'd about the exhaust.

[zebwach]

Pro Alloy fuel tank is provisionaly sold pending payment.

Zach, How come you are selling all your parts? I remember seeing your add for the red VX around sept when it was for sale. Wasnt it pushing around 375 bhp out? It looked nice and I was tempted then.

The gear box went in it again. There was also mild smoke when accelerating (hence the cylinder 2 suspicion). I had a compression test done and although all the cylinders were within tolerance, cylinder two was lower than the others. I had just had enough of the gear box issues to be honest and as a result fell out of love with the VX. I didnt want to sell someone a car that would probably break another box a couple of weeks later so she has now been reverted back to a very well equipped Stage 1-2 spec with Charge Cooler etc. A costly exercise, but worth doing properly. That will be going up for sale tomorrow pending an MOT test.

Is this on an aftermarket ecu or do you still have the map to run this lot.

[zebwach]

It is the origional ECU that came with the car. It was mapped to all the current mods by MMG last week.

[Duncan VXR]

You have missed the question Zac, the standalone Ecu was used with the engine and turbo setup I have the Ecu but can assist if required DG

[zebwach]

Oops , thought i was on the car add! Yes, Duncan is now the owner of the ecu.

[zebwach]

Exhaust now sold, pending payment.
