It's with regret that I 'think' I'm going to part with the Vx. I set out to break 400bhp as so many said it couldn't be done, we've gone above and beyond and the cost just spiralled as with all projects like this! I have between 28-30k in this car so for someone wanting serious power without all the hard work then this is it! I don't have the time to break it so looking to sell complete. The build thread of the car is in the projects section on here. Chassis/Body 46k Team dynamic wheels with AD08 tyres fitted Intrax suspension MMG Rear Diffuser Front splitter with stays Ultimate Carbon Turbo Ears Carbon extended turbo rear spoiler Hardtop and Soft top Ali indicator stalks New side engine mounts Front and rear engine mounts have polybush inserts Body work has a few marks blemishes around it and the front is quite stone chipped etc. Engine Full 3" tullet - no cat Darton sleeved B207 block bored to 89mm Custom JE 89mm pistons All new genuine mains and big end shells Eagle H beam Conrods ARP head studs Gasflowed cylinder head Stg3 Comp Cams Supertech oversized valves Supertech valve springs Supertech Ti retainers New Genuine timing Chains Vocky balancer delete kit B207 sump TTV flywheel Complete bottom end assembly has been balanced Helix 6 Paddle clutch Spitfire fuel pump Pro Alloy charge cooler kit with single fan High flow charge cooler pump Harrop 1320 supercharger LSJ throttle body Obd Tuner Ecu Aquamist MW50 injection system AEM wide and lambda sensor Engine is currently fitted with a 2.7 pulley and has produced in excess of 500bhp! Graph to prove. Currently backed of to a comfortable 470bhp. The car is amazingly quick as you can see has been built with no expense spared! Available by separate negotiation...... Full OTTP Harrop 1900 kit - would take the motor to in excess of 550 bhp! Coupe conversion kit ROTA alloys from the group buy Pro Alloy fuel tank Racelogic traction and launch control kit Larger crank and trigger wheel to take the engine to 2440cc! I'd like to think that my build thread speaks for itself with the quality of the work carried out on the car etc. Price 18k ono

Seems a shame to sell it so soon. Is there much left to do to the car? GLWTS

[1cobrav8]

Depends what you want to do to it I suppose really. It's completed in its current spec so to speak. I've done around 3k in it and it drives amazing, power is extremely linear and just makes you smile when you want it to . I did a 4hr round trip in it today to view a race truck and it never missed a beat.

So last night I went to look at a race truck and agreed to purchase it, the truck along with a second radical is causing a hearty financial drain!!!! So if anyone wants to may a reasonable offer which isn't to affensive for either just the car or the whole lot you could be in luck. If I manage to source the money in from else where for the new truck and car then I will no longer want/need to sell for a reduced price. Cheers Rich

I am amazed this hasn't sold when you consider people pay circa 14k to 17k just for a VXR220 in standard trim. Yet this car wouldn't be passed by virtually anything on the road and would nail £200,000 cars. I can only guess that people are frightened about buying non OEM.

 

GL with the sale Rich.

I'd be all over this for that money if I hadn't just bought one!  Good luck with the sale!

[1cobrav8]

Thanks guys, will just wait and see what happens. The 1900 charger has now landed in the uk so if it doesn't sell I could always still finish what I started lol
