Yellow
2002
53k
2 keys and fobs
Long mot and service
Conversion done by Jak at Mmg and bits from courtenay

Good condition with only a few age related marks


Enjoyed every second of it wish I could keep it but moving house and needing something more practical and bigger i have decided to sell up.

This was one of jak's s/c conversions but I believe his first none cat registered one.

Currently I work so ill just out a link to my eBay ad untill I get home.

Fancy a z4? Gonna sell mine soon to get a vx again

[Vanquish91]

nice cars the z4's my best mate has a black one with red seats gorgeous however i need something bigger and pref 4 wd sorry 

[Blue Boy]

Fair enough. Just as a query how funny are insurances with supercharger conversions?

[Vanquish91]

the mainstream companies are rubbish but specialists are good mine was just over 1k a year  which is less than i payed for the astra vxr(22 with 5 years ncb) good i thought. 

 

im with adrian flux  they where more concerned it was my first rwd car than it being s/c

- Interior condition - good only Bad bit is the usual wear on the drivers seat. 

 

The car has had a supercharger conversion done which is very sought after and rare to catch one for Sale.( only 1 for sale in the uk)

 

I bought it all ready done by a  well known guy from the vx220 forum which has has done numerous s/c conversions. 

 

The work was carried out at Mmg (lotus/vx specialists) and some

Parts and help from Courtenay sport (Vaux specialists) 

 

Showing its been done properly.

 

So quick spec of the car upgrades ;

 

-uprated Gaz pro gold Suspension(adjustable) 

- Miltek exhaust 

- uprated grooved discs

- Stage 2 supercharged 

- 250-260bhp 0-60 In around 4 seconds

- turbo spoiler and scoops/vents 

- soft top and genuine hardtop (1k option)

- MMG long diffuser 

- ally indicator stalks and window winders

- piano black door cards and dash panel.

- sony stereo and better speakers

- Long life in tyres all round 

- serviced 3.5 k ago 

- oil changed and topped up since that.

 

For those worrying about running costs it really does not cost much at all petrol and insurance was the same as my last Astra Vxr.

 

Probably missed out stuff , anything you need let me know.

 

 

I have had this car for a good few months now and it has been a joy to drive totally reliable, has insane handling and supercar fast however the speed is very manageable.

 

I recently did a 400 mile round trip to

Cardiff and it was the best driving experience i've had its the perfect summer car! 

 

I just need something a little more practical(bigger) now as I'm in the middle of moving house and winter will soon be here.

 

 

you guys know these car but please get in touch with anything you beed, hope this goes to a good home on here!

 

 

viewings more than welcome 

 

I'm going to take it off ebay for a bit an just advertise it on here as i've had too many  dreamers emailing me. 

 

11K open to offers

 

Thanks for looking ( had to put this as a reply because i couldn't edit first post)
