Flippin 'eck Steve! That looks rather rapid!! Nice one mate.

We'll have to meet up for a run sometime. thumbsup

thumbsup Seeing as it's got a shiney brand new engine, I think I might keep the VX now :)



Good news Jase. I hoped you'd keep it for at least the summer to "bed" the engine, nicely. thumbsup

This just made me go look at Courtenay website, wow have you seen the colour of the exhaust manifold on this silver car on test!

The power at 3500 rpm is what we normally get at max rpm! this must be awesome.

You won't be able to hear it from the inside, but the first time one of these came past me it sounded like a tornado coming out of the exhaust.

His money mate, spends it on what he likes. He could have bought a brand new car but wanted to upgrade the VX so why not do what you want to do?

Yeah you had a lot done for the money and if I had that kind of cash hanging around I'd go for it myself, although the girlfriend wouldn't be amused.
