Scottish Elises

"c) got a decent set of wheels/tyres." Just finished a season using Kumho ecsta V70 soft all round on the VX and was approx 1.5 seconds quicker doing both fintry hillclimb and boyndie sprint compared with previous visits using toyo 888's mediums. The car has been running sh*t all season due to inter...

Are VX220's allowed. Would like to see what she's got........

You could always do above......

Costco in aberdeen now fill car tyres with nitrogen. Had mine filled on the vectra a few weeks ago.

Sillets have always been great. been buying tyres there for 10+ years never had a problem yet. He will also fit loose tyres.

I know Mr Barker was trying to stop my VX220 as its not a sports car manufacturer and also Ian in his mazda RX7 for the same reason.

I've removed one on a vectra. ignition off remove 2 bolts on the back side of bag and cable and it's off.

If your in the A8 clas you'll be up against myself in a VX220 and a couple of TR7 V8's maybe a Ginette or 2 and an old 911. I'm only doing the Highland speed championship.
Only doing Fintry, Boyndie, Lossiemouth and Alford. Golspie is just a bit too far to travel.

Not sure if its the same as a vx but you get fitting instructions with the kit. You need to drill the parcel shelf with 4 holes to fit the fixings and the net just hooks in.

A VX220 with a few mods
VXR wheels to give 16" 17" combo with 888's
Pagid rs15 on the back
AP 4 pots on the front with bigger discs inc bells ect
Nitrons all round
Miltek exhaust
Astra VXR Turbo
Charge cooler
Sachs semi race clutch with lightened flywheel.

Thats about it i think......

The hubs are easy to change. top and bottom ball joints steering arm calipers ect and thats them off. I'm sure theres a write up on vx220.org.uk on what to do. thorney has them fitted on his vx.

approx £400 per corner for hubs and wheels on top.

The red with white stripes has ans S2 plate on it. belongs to a John Simpson who used to work for Woodgroup. I'm sure he has several TVR's does a bit of hill climbing in them.

He's from Englandshire so wont know about scottish elises!!

I've used Mark a couple of times and a few other vx owners have as well. Can't recommend him enough. He sets up most of the hill climb/sprint cars in the Aberdeen area.

If anyone who is buying would like a free exhaust system and remap contact thorneymotorsport a VX tuner who is looking for a car to develop.
