Is there anyway of telling the turbo'd VX220 apart from the normal version?. Guy up the road from me (who does the motoring section for a local paper) has a bright yellow, and i mean bright yellow!!!, one parked on his driveway at the moment (had a VW Tuareg last week) and i was wondering if it was a turbo or not...
:)
side intake (drivers side) has a horrible plastic scoop aded on Turbo.
Turbo also has a little boot spoiler....on the lip.....quite unnessasary...
and when he goes up the road it'll wallow about ;)
Too soft ;)
It's a Vauxhall, ofc its gonna be soft and handle like a pig on ice skates.
It'll be a turbo. I take it the VX ain't as good as the Elise then?.Quote:

the vx IS an eliese :P
The VX is better than an Elise for 90 % of life......but its not as PURE.
It has a lower stressed bigger engine and is a lovely daily car that HAPPENS to be amazing.
The Elise is 100% commitment.
But the VXTurbo is not as nice...faster yes....but softer :(
Made to be softer so its harder for noobs to kill them selves in it.....thats my best guess...
it is SO FAST that most Elise owners would die of shock :)
How much do vx's cost?
20kish??
A standard vx is about £22k the turbo comes in at around £25k iirc
it'd be interesting to fit a suspension kit from the 2.2 standard vx to the turbo though...........
Or just put a 200+ motor in the standard one.
Second Hand VX220 2.2 16v are to be had for £15k easy....
lots of car :)
Source an old Calibra Turbo engine, give it to Courtney, and you'll have a cheaper, quicker VXT.
You got that easy 15 large, Zakky boy? ;)
I wouldnt give a Ford to Courtney....
Do tell. I've only heard good about them.
Yeah...but I'm saving for an LA-7 or a Second Hand Yak-9 ;)Quote:
