An Odyssey of Tuning a Big Power VX220

Did you manage to give it big beans? It seems like a little too much power for the road - I quite like 250-300bhp Elise’s / VXs.
When I start at dawn (and the roads are empty), I try and drive on roads with plenty of forward vision, so I can exploit the power somewhat. Later I tend to switch to some of those tiny roads (like some of the pics) I then often trickle round at 30 MPH just gawping at the views, taking pics and sometimes going for a hill walk.Before 9 AM the A470 (and many others) are great for zipping along. If you haven't had a chance, try it one day and you'll see, though as you infer, 250 or 300 HP would be ample too.

Yes, I’ve driven a 700bhp exige built for time track type events, crazy fun but too much for the road. 300bhp/tonne is almost manageable!Before 9 AM the A470 (and many others) are great for zipping along.
