I remember a dude on here did it to his Mk2 Rsi he had a few probs with it, so went back to drums. I think it was Giles who was on here ages ago. He wrote a thread on it, it might be worth looking under his name for it.
I've only ever been in modded ones, but yes they do. As they are so close to the ground they really give the impression that when you open them up they are very fast, they are fast though (if that makes sense)
They VX's are fast as standard, but the owners mentioned that standard un re-mapped cars aren't that good (turbo lag etc) so most mod them. The stage 2 one I went in was 250bhp. Standard is 60 in 4.7 secs.
Edit, you'd need to go out in a VX tbh, great in the summer with the roof off imo, not...
I've been out in a stage 2 & a stage 4 VXT, the stage 4 (350bhp or so with the same torque fig) almost tore my face off, It was like going to Alton Towers, to say it was stupisly fast was an understatement ! They are nice, but tbh more of a summer car, i'd not want one in winter. If your not on...
Mk1 Focus RS too, or an ST, or a Meg R26 (I read that not another Renault, but they are nice)
For out right speed & handling the VX220 Turbo wins imo, they just lack a lot of stuff (otherwise i'd have got one a while ago)
If they aren't overly bad a dent dude will be able to remove them, he won't need to fill or paint anything. If you've got a local one, give him a bell.
It seems like the general consensus is 'had one once & never again' my current & last two cars have been blue.
I got itchy feet the other day & started looking at black vee's;)
I think that a wrap would have been so much better. I really hope that the car was a recorded silver car that they resprayed, if not they've ruined a nice car.
I have seen pics of an Acid mk1 vee, that looks nice. I don't know if it's a wrap or not though.
Just asking out of interest here...
I'm one of those people who only ever cleans their car about half a dozen or so times a year. I just don't have the time to do it more & tbh the local car washer dudes (not supermarket bods, sod that !) aren't all that.
When I do clean it I find the time to...
I often wonder how big these new babies are ;)
My old dear managed to fit my bro & I in her Mini (a proper one) years ago, the pram fitted too. I didn't have one any more as I was walking.
I like the sound of the tunepoint thingy (i'm not into stereo's & technology at all) but I really don't fancy giving up the cd changer. My car has a tape deck (tuner list) and a changer.
I'd only want to plug the ipod in every now & again, what stuff would I need to buy ?
