After having my steering wheel retrimmed Tom220SC posted up a carbon fibre retrimmed dash top with yellow stitching previously done by Dave the trimmer.

How could I resist?!

I took my old dashboard off, gave it a good clean and fitted the new one.

So, good and sad news...

Jason78 a friend of mine was selling his Petrol Blue VX220 Turbo, regretfully due to health conditions (pending knee surgery) keeping the car was not viable for him.

The car is an absolute credit to him and I simply feel in love with it.

I had finally saved up enough money to get LY87 supercharged, however was not quite there yet to afford the OBD ECU so had a change of heart and have totally changed direction!

I am now the proud owner of this fine example of the VX220 Turbo in the stunning Petrol Blue...

Current specification:
- AP four pots with 308mm discs
- Brand new zero miles chris tullet exhaust system, with 2 new genuine lambda sensors.
- Mbr 1" front roll bar zero miles with new drop links
- 5 month old GAZ golds
- Brand new ad08r tyres zero miles
- Zero miles, refurbed and ceramic coated pro race rims in 16/17" fitment
- Pro alloy intake pipe
- 80mm maf
- Aem dry cone
- Courtenay stage 2 map 245hp/280ftlbs
- Courtenays top hat and boost pipe and breather hose.
- Abs switch
- Harness bar
- Scroth harness on drivers seat
- Ultimate carbon turbo ears
- Ultimate carbon binnacle cover
- Polybushed engine mounts
- TAT rear diffuser
- Genuine hardtop
- Alloy radiator

I'm planning on swapping over my parts to the new car, mulsanne B seats, copious amounts of carbon fibre etc.

So watch this space...


Over the coming weeks once the plate has been transfered LY87 will be going up for sale

Mate of mine does them, depends what you're after really but he's very reasonable. Let me know what you're after and I can get you a price.

How much did you pay for your EP toe links?

I can't remember to be honest. Going rate whatever they are from EP -5% as I got a discount I was happy with them on my old VX so decided to stick with what I know
