Hi All!
I own a 2002 VX220 and have done since 2016. Its my first true sports car as i had a Daihatsu Copen 1.3 before this! I am on the VX220.org but decided I would join the Scottish Elises as well
Hopefully see some of you around.
If you see me give me a Wave/ Flash!
Thanks Matt

Yellow looks great, but I am biased too.

That would be Brilliant!! Are you near by?? I would honestly love a supercharger! I have never been in one so no idea what they are like!
But so far i plan on a:
- new back box (it used to have a Stage 2 Courtney tune i believe which included a miltek but this rotted through!) has the standard one just now and its just too quiet!
- Retrimmed Steering Wheel
- Scoosher/ Wiper Arm
It has HID's, a K&N Induction Kit and apparently a remap!
I see yours is a Supercharged?

I'm moving to Bannockburn on Wednesday then driving my VX from Stratford Upon Avon up on Saturday.
I have a build thread on .org I supercharged min over the summer along with doing the chains and waterpump. I'll take you a run in mine no problem the SC whine is amazing. Standard they are VERY quiet I fitted a Vauxhall Sports Exhaust that was new old stock from lotus and knocked the pre-cat out and it's now loud enough

How did you find it with the precat knocked out? any kind of differences there?

Thats also something i wouldnt mind doing!! Performance of the SC must be amazing!
