I have to agree.

Thats because chill drives about as smooth as a 90 year old testicle sack. Lol

Well just popped out for a drive done a few miles now and fuel mapping ,where do i start its totaly mental lol

I thought i had a fuel leak the gauge went down so quick  ,the top end power  just goes on and on i stop before i max it out as i crap myself .

Traction control is all fitted so thats good for when it is damp it works ok as have had it on to test it .

As always, you'll get used to it and want more.

Reminds me of my first trackdays with the Atom... I barely went full throttle. Now I just find it "fast", but will happilly want more (building a sleeved K24 for this right now)

If a mgtf160 track car overtakes you at the national you are to hand back the vx keys & sell up ;-) (Can't wait to see yours now)

I am laughing imagining your face behind the wheel. Just stick to dry days and clear roads for now dude. And yes I know I sound like yer dad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whats your car's stability like at high speed Lee? Does it load the front wheels up or are you just setup for fast cornering still? I've driven some VXes that are terribly floaty on the front and some that squat nicely at speed.

Is a bit floaty top end need to address it . Will have to film the speedo on my private road just to show how quick it spins up to high speed 😂

Yea, looking at pictures of your wheels, your massive neg camber wont be helping. I expect MBR set you up with some toe out on the front which I hate for high speed as it really makes my car twitch around. As usual it's all a compromise, but with your new found power (and hence speed), high speed stability (more than turn in) is vital IMO. If you reduce that camber you might find braking (particularily on the rears) better too.

 

Have you taken the speedo pointing off the clock yet? Take a pic of it with the needle pointing down at the engine warning light, LOL - that should raise a few eybrows.

Yeah mine was terrible at anything over 80, with the camber they set on mine 3.5deg on the front 4.5 on rear. I didn't drive it again until I got the geo sorted by back on track.

That is immense camber for a VX, did you specify it was a race (only) car or something? If you hoped to drive on the road that would be diabolical in my experience.
