Jesus, Mani, turn the bloody Tapatalk signature off. It's lovely that you use a Galaxy S but do we really need to know it every time you post?

Lol. Just dont know how to.

Yeah Mani!if you do want a signature atleast edit it to "sent from my i pad".

Well due to techie boy pointing out the irritation with my default message I have now changed it.

Edit - says sold in the advert (but not in the classifieds) - has the new owner surfaced on here?

Is that the standard vxr ride height ? Looks very high!

[VX Boyd]

Wrong sized tyres perhaps? I see he has got Proxes rather than r888s.

[deano01]

It seems odd that it is shod with a wet weather tyre when only been used in the dry.

The ride height prob is standard. Didn't they just run std turbo stuff? Oh think you mean rather than A048 LTS re the tyres?

That does seem odd to not stay on the sticky tyres. Looks a really mint example though that's for sure. Wonder who's the new lucky owner?

Cheers.

[deano01]

If we keep our eyes open, one of us will spot the smile of the new owner before the car.

Sorry mate not me :-( . Wasn't quick enough

Different spec shock absorbers to standard turbo, but weird right height as standard

[Zuber]

Probably been asked before,any reason you would get one over an NA+S/C conversion ?

[Hark]

Rarity

[Goosenka]

Rarity

And depreciation probably

[JohnTurbo]

And a turbos are naturally better....

[Mani]

Personal taste. I had a 2.2 before my vxr. Just felt I needed a bit more torque. The vxr does come with a few uprated parts c/w standard turbo. Limited Edition helps with depreciation especially if you have a well looked after bog standard one. Future classic possibly.

[MrSimba]

Future classic possibly.

Definatly, and the less modded the more so, I certainly wouldn't do anything to a VXR that wasn't completely reversible, look at S1 Elise's / Exige's the ones that command the highest prices are completely standard, low mileage cars the VX & esspecially the VXR will go the same way.

Soooooooo glad I've not modded mine then.......... Oooops too late! Think the only thing that's 'reversable' on mine is the car itself in gear!!!

Also sad how many LY's have been heavily modded and the original hardtops and wheels have been sold on.
