How do people?
Names Craig, 25, and live in southampton. Picked up my dream car on the 23rd after just over a years ownership of a Mazda RX8 231. Yeah a mighty upgrade, but the Rex was and is an awsome car but was getting fed up of throwing fuel at it when i could have something of twice the size and power with the same return in fuel.
So the Mon, 56plate, Quicksilver, VXR, with full Wortec (headers to tails), larger induction pipe, remap, ripshifter and low ratio diff, just covered close to 11,000miles. Im well happy with it. Only downers on it are, the seats dont go far enough forward for access of rear passengers and the stereo/speakers... well there jank, ive come from the Rex which was a 7speaker BOSE system which was damn sexual, so have come down in the entertainment stakes. I can just live with it haha.
Cheers Craig

Its compulsory to show us pics please 
Oh no i dont need it. But im a rock fan and bloody devoute to it, so need it haha. I have a few rough pics before i clean it and my private plate goes on, so here goes;
Pics were taken in my garage, so hence the darkness of it all. And i must confess, i own a nova saloon too, dont shoot me lol

nice looking car 
) When was it last done? do you know?Nah no plans for it, maybe a speaker upgrade of some sorts. The fluid is already on the cards, i bought it from Picador vauxhall, and is already going back for the sake of the door handle paint flaked when they cleaned it, anti-roll bar links, the upper most rubbers are shite and knocking. The EML blipped on for a 2nd the other day and hasnt come on since, i shall plug it up to my own first before taking it back, then the clutch fluid. Personally id rather do it all myself as i know my own work, but then its free so, meh.

theres a nice FAQ on here aobut doing speaker upgrades. picador is one of the better VX dealers. most people on here get work done to there cars by either Monkfish (the fish) or Rapid GBte and knocking.

Ooo nice one. Is it really?? Bloody hell. I will always do my own, otherwise its pointless me owning my own business, MOT station/Servicing/Repairer. Only time ill be majorly stuffed will be ECU tweaks. The nova i mentioned earlier is a 220bhp naturally aspirated bikecarbed 2.0ltr 16v which i built myself so im pretty handy ;-)
