The VXT has a little Griffin on the wheel , thats all. Mines up to 260bhp now and it really does shift, easily as fast as my Dads old 360 Spider and upto 100 not a lot in it even against his Gallardo. Theres a little something called pride of ownership and quality. You cant compare an Evo to...

No the underwriters have changed the rules on group 14 + cars I believe. They tried that one on me but I already insure a group 20 car with them and they wanted me to wait til I was 21 to change my car! In the end they gave in and said theyd do it since I was a good customer.

Thanks for your help guys, Im certain if I do go this route that Ill be looking to get some pretty serious results. At the moment though Im desperately trying to find a way to keep my VX since I simply cant get rid of it! Renewal isnt helping my case though at nearly £3k even with a year of...

Theres a bargain to be had there, from working on my Dads 360 Spiders it would appear theres no actual chasis damage. Of course I cant tell for sure without going to see it but if it was undamaged then if you took on the labour yourself you could see that as new for £50-60k including the car at...

Ive managed to source a 182 with cup sus and spoilers for £12k so Im pretty happy with that, Im going to give it some more thought over the next week or so as Im in no rush to change since uni doesnt start til October although to be honest I may decide to just put up with the heartache of the...

I dont mind spending the money but theres nothing like a turbo engine for cheap mods! I need to get rid of the VX for many reasons, mainly being that theyre hardly subtle and attract a lot of attention. Fibreglass doesnt dent, it cracks and a new door is in excess of £3k with fitting and...

Theres limits to what is sensible though isnt there. After all one of the main reasons why I will buy a new 182 is the warranty, I need the car to be fixed without a giant bill! I have seen the supercharger mod being pulled off very well on the VX220 N/A version but the price is rather high at...

Well the 182 is around £10k less than my VXT which is nice since Ill get some change to go tuning with :) My Dad is very wealthy and he collects Ferraris and Porsches (currently a 2004 GT2) but I managed to buy the VXT whilst taking a year out of uni, I got a good job and combined with some...

Hi. I currently own a new VX220 Turbo but unfortunately due to me going back to university Im going to have to sell it for fear of it getting damaged and of course the lack of practicality. Ive driven a 182 and naturally after getting out of my tuned (265 bhp) VX it was hardly fast! The 182 was...
