Sorry to hear your selling Steve Shame you cant keep it considering how much time and money you've put in to it, but I guess everyone wants a change sometime thats one reason I take so long over modding the car so I dont get bored with it, its a bit like modding my hi-fi Someone will get a great car thats for sure John

Sorry to hear that Steve... Thought you had an upgraded clutch and lightened flywheel too?

My lasting memory of Steves car is a passenger ride round Brunters at a National Meet a couple of years ago. Was absolutely rock steady round 120L - unlike most other cars on that corner. It's certainly an extremely well sorted track car. Good luck with the sale Steve. I'm so tempted......

Good luck with the sale steve. Your baby was the first one i saw a write-up about in one of the motoring mags 5 years ago. Just out of interest, what sort of power output is she pushing? Edit..The magazine was the official magazine of the vauxhall sports car club 'HP m' Volume 2 Edition 2. Described it as the 'Yellow Hammer' and then inside, as the 'Lightening Conductor' Oh and i'v not got a photographic memory I'v just picked-up the magazine from the bedside table, as i keep all the VX related things i come across.

Ive still got that issue Icey....

I think the bhp claims back then were a little 'optimistic'

Although the spax development comments and turbot comments should be a testiment to how much we owe steve for his efforts in the development of vx220 tuning.

where its due

This is a nice piece of kit! Somebody's going to have a Merry Christmas BTW Steve, how effective is the Lotus rear wing? Steve!

i forgot to mention the sachs sports clutch! no lightened flywheel thou.... thanks guys for memories on the mags!! i must dig them out sometime!

[minime]

if anyone is interested i will probably accept over 13k for the little beauty

[garyk220]

A few passenger laps in Dean's old car (black NA) and Steve's car at Bruntingthorpe last year convinced me to buy adjustable suspension and fit a rear wing on mine. Both very well sorted cars with fantastic grip and balance. Good luck with the sale Steve

I know exactly what you mean. Was good insperational stuff though

Indeed...Thank-You Steve I definately owe you a beer for making my decission (rather rash for me) seem like the right choise whilst i was researching on awaiting delivery of my nice new baby.
