about 145-150hp not had mine long but it feels rapid enought to me and its standard aprt from induction and exhaust which might add 1 bhp if im lucky.

Yes they are superb in standard form. They dont really need the additional 100 BHP but the opportunity came up to have the conversion done so I went with it. Turns it from a fun sports car into a serious tool for attacking B roads.

Looks damn good, but is there really such a thing as a sleeper VX220?

I dunno maybe if you wound a tubro one up to about 400bhp I think it may shock a few people.

That would be a sleeper of a different type. Looks like a normal, run of the mill, reasonably fast car. 400bhp on tap would give some extremely serious metal a good run for its money - thats deep into supercar terrority though.

its a sleeper in the sense people will assume its the 150bhp 2.2 but not a sleeper in the real sense tongue out

Great looking car btw! smile

I wanted one but they were a couple of grand too much so I took the super budget option smile
