A shiny black one.
I’m not too bad, just plodding along really how about you? You and the better half okay?
I’m sure the plate was the deciding factor! What’s really made you sell up? What’s the replacement, my works pc won't show the pic!

Am i right in saying that unless the pillers are colour coded then there the non turbo models? Very nice looking car!

as for tuning....I am not sure what the best route to take is???
It already has a vxr miltek exhaust....guessing a remap is the next step???
I am now having the "sleepless night " thing set in, keep lying there in bed thinking about it...then I stop...then I think about it....then i think I now must go to sleep................something I never got with the clio.

Now I am confused.....if you would be so kind as to send me some links etc.
I have been told THORNEY MS are the guys in the know??
Turbos.
Well i am Plans Motorsport through and through, they are also more local to you (Surrey).
All VXs have very safe geometry being 'Vauxhalls.' You want to go to someone like Plans for a fast road setup which will virtually eradicate all understeer. The difference is night/day and is pretty cheap.
After about 40k the dampers start to corrode quite badly. I replaced mine out of neccessity and opted for aftermarket coilovers. Nitron are aluminum and so won't rust, whereas Ohlins are just another level. You don't need suspension though... a geo is enough... but i as said i had to change them and had the happy side effects of better handling and a much better looks.
For remaps i would say Courtenay have the best rep, Thorney do it but they get a bit of stick now and then.

Thanks for the tips.
I have just joined vx220.org sure I will follow suit with the guys on there.
Initially it was supposed to be an Elise I was opting to get....but the vx cropped up.
It is a car I can honestly say I have only seen 3 of in my life time....is it because they are poor cars I asked myself???
All I have read is good views...so far.
Watch this space.

Same with any car you own, you never spot many until you're sat in one. It happened when I had the VXT and has happened since I got the DC5
Great little cars these, scary though and even more so in the wet... definately just a weekend car IMO.
As said get the Geo done and Nitrons, if you can afford. If it's already got the Miltek on it I would guess it's already been remaped. Stage 1 is remap, Stage 2 is remap + Miltek... I forget the figures but I think they're 225bhp (but more importantly removes the flat spot) and 240 repectively.
