Thanks! This year is very special as I've spent a lot of money on tuning the car. Improving performance and looks. In the last two months: - chris tullet 3"-exhaust (ceramic coated and polished) short version repackable silencer, plain tips, additional lambda fitting - oilcooler ant thermostat - Klasen inlet manifold (polished) - Astra VXR turbocharger (egt included), AMM and injectors - complete leather interior (dashboard incl. 3 gauges) - Quaife lsd and lightened flywheel (dynamically balanced) and other little bits and bobs

- Klasen inlet manifold (polished)

Do you think slot inlet manifold is a good translation?

Hmm, dr.alfa aka speedcommander aka KAMIKAZESPEEDSTER, du treibst aber auch überall dein Unwesen...

slot klingt eher nach Schlitz, weiß nicht ob das so eine gute Übersetzung ist...

I have never liked the VX in green and silver, but I have to say, what you have done is just stunning. The green and gold really works. Nice one

[soupdragon]

For me, this has to be one of the best looking VX/Speedsters Keep comming with the updates Tommess I just have to get me some ATS DTC's (at an agreeable price)

Here's a picture of my chris tullett exhaust:

[Tommess]

Sadly, there's one point to say which is quite annoying. The O2 sensor behind the catalytic converter does not fit when the rear silencer is adjusted correctly. So I will have to relocate the O2-fitting downwards next to the flange.



Seems to me that the cat was welded with a wrong angle, or did someone else already have this sort of problem?

Hello Thomas Thats schei... orderd olso a 3" but i wont it not that way maild Andy that he makes the lambda 02 fitting lower Bud thanks iv you dident post it hire Then i had maby the same problem Greets, Daniel Thomas

[Tommess]

Hello Daniel, I've just sent Andy an email, I think they probably have forgotten the "right" O2-sensor boss as the cat already had one inserted. I will let you know what Andy said, I can only think of a mistake, sadly at my downpipe already ceramic coated...

Next step will be going for a pro alloy charge cooler, some CL RC5+ pads and some Toyo R888 this year. Btw does anybody know why I can't attach new pictures to the thread? There seems to be a limt of 500K for all of my pictures I have attached so far...

Everyone has that limit of 500k on this site, best thing to do is use a photobucket account or similar to share pics/links

Thanks!

So here we go then:



and some "motion picture"

Can you post any interior photo?. I´d like to see that new dashboard. Thanks !

[Tommess]

Actually I don't have pictures from inside, only the ones taken when I got the new dashboard.

Have you recorded some video with the new exhaust?, sounds it louder?. The Larini exhaust sounded incredible !

[Mangham54]

Who made the dash... you? That looks absolutely bloody fantastic. Bugger the idea of alcantara for my tinkering - I want to achieve something like that.

No I haven't done any recordings yet. The Larini sound was awesome, real racing sound. The Tullett has more volume and sounds different, but it's not louder. It just sounds deeper. You can drive quietly at lower revs, but at WOT it also gets a nice not too loud sound. I also like it very much, but it hasn't got that racy sound like the Larini had.

Thanks! The work was done by http://www.hot-motors.de/

They have specialized on the VX220 / Speedster regarding interior trims. So you can have all leather variants for seats, door panels, dashboard or even the steering wheel. It's not cheap pricewise, but I think the result stands for itself...

[Judderman]

Stunning, absolutely stunning where did you get the carbon intake pipe ?
