Hullo from Stirling!!

Post by mattmacc123 » Mon Nov 19, 2018 4:49 pm

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 :)

We definitely need to go a run up the castle and get a couple of pics.

Any planned mods?

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? :D

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 :D .
