the 2.2 aint bad, tbh it will feel fast as fuck if you got in it.. you are low to the ground so the speed seems faster than it is.

I wouldn't rule out the 2.2.

In a heavier Mk4 Astra,i thought it went quite well.Certainly didn't lack any pace.

In a car quite a bit lighter,i can imagine it be pretty quick.

for 500 it will just be the rear box, you want to bin off the pre-cat as well for noise

I drilled out the precat on mine. Made a noticable difference. That blue one above is a bargain.

placebo..

full systems cost about £1200 - £1500 depending on if you get a named brand, im sure someone can make you up an exhaust cheaper but your limited by the number of 4-1 manifolds you can get.

get one and if you dont like it sell it.

in my experience and seeing the kinds of people come and go on the forum if you really love the vx and love it for what it is and dont expect things that you will never get then you will have it for a long time because its hard to get the same kind of performance and driving nivarna for such a small amount of cash.

if you expect it to be plush like a ferrari and water tight then it will go pretty quick lol

I'd probably get a hardtop if I had one tbh for most the year anyway.

I've never driven one, so would be quite intrigued. I do struggle getting in and out of Elise's though so not sure I'd get on with that side of it too well!

Plus I'm quite enjoying the Mini again atm. I don't know

once you learn how to get in and out it becomes second nature and you will find its just as easy as a normal car.

i can get in mine faster than my dad can get in the zafira.
