Hi

Having previously owned two VXT's, I am looking for another always regret selling my last one.

Preferably in black (will consider other colours) higher than average mileage not a problem but needs to be in excellent condition with service history up to Stage 2. Based in South Wales but travelling not a problem for the right one. Must be HPI clear

 

Thanks

Paul

What's wrong with the SC'ed ones? They are easier to drive.

Nev, you shock me.. as this is very true. Road & track, after having my vxt for almost 7 years and now a SC, I wouldn't go back to a turbo. Getting bhp for pub talk is so much easier in a tubby but omg I've been converted for sure.

With a larger turbo and 3rd party ECU a TC'ed car is just as smooth as an NA. But with the OEM stage 3 and 4 it is certainly tricky/risky at the limit.

 

I think the OP only wants a standard to stage 2 TC'ed car, so the torque delivery problem won't manifest itself.

 

I should take you out in Nipper if you pass by one day, you'd be astounded by the smooth power delivery I think. Obviously though this solution costs more money, but only around £2k for the ECU + map(s).
