VX220 Turbo stage 3.5 2003, 32k miles, silver with black interior. Larini exhaust, adjustable AEM Truboost gauge. Team Dynamics wheels with lots of tread on the tyres (Yokahama’s I think but I’ll check). Carbon dash plates/intakes/V at the front/wing mirrors and long TMS diffuser. Leather interior with only slight wear on the drivers seat. Gaz Gold Pro suspension with geo setup by Wheels in Motion and front and rear anti roll bar by cornering force who also setup and dynod the shocks so have the readouts for those too. AP Racing 285mm grooved discs on alloy bells up front with 1144 pads all round with BF Goodridge braided hoses. Sachs paddle clutch. 45mm alloy radiator and cool running thermostat keeps it running nice and cool for the water temps and the large intercooler keeps the intake temps down. Lots of other bits such as silicon hoses and Bailey recirculating dump valve etc. HPI clear. the front could do with a respray due to stone chips but that's about it. Currently without an MOT but will come with 12 months for the new owner.
I’m located in Rickmansworth near Watford.

£10500-00

Seems very cheap for the mods/mileage/condition. Good luck with the sale. Any dyno read outs? What numbers are we talking?

[Trevsked]

Ive got printouts from 2009 when it was showing 297bhp and its been improved since then. I would take that lightly as it was a peak figure so realisticaly I would say a solid 280-285bhp. Trevor.

Quickie,,, whats made you want to sell ? Im sure I saw this car many moons ago when it was up for sale...

[turboluca]

Yes this car was forsale by hi torque .

[Trevsked]

That's right. My friend bought it from Hi Torque if that's what the dealer is called in north London? He very quickly decided it wasn't for and bought a Cayman. I bought it from him before selling it later to fund a GT3 but tracking the GT3isn't the cheapest hobby in the world and I was having no more, in fact less fun in that than the VX. Luckily for me the chap I sold it to had a posting for work in America and agreed to sell it back to me :-) I've bought other cars since then and something has to give. As the VX wasn't being used hence no current MOT, that's the one I've decided to sell. Can't say I won't miss it come spring as its a fabulous car if you like something that feels like a race car.

Is that gear shift short? What's the gear change like is it a bit stiff with Little leverage ?

[Trevsked]

Yep it's a shortened lever and works very well without stiffness. Trevor.
