Should be picking it up at the weekend...smile

2.0l Turbo, 240bhp, 0-60:-6.2secs.

Will hopefully post up some pics next week.





I'll have to keep well in with her for the next few days and hope she'll let me have a little drive...biggrin

Just need some Pistonheads stickers for the back now.

looks very nice and i liked the drive i had on a standard vxr, feels more powerful and better built than the other rivals i drove but relised i would never fit all the baby stuff in.
the only real issue i had and it really annoyed me was the accelator its a on/off button ad turn it to sport and i gave up with it.
looks ace in the artic trim though

Throttle isnt the best i must admit.

But goes like the clappers for a hot hatch, nice and torquey.

Stage 1 and it will go even better, but will eat tyres for giggles with the switch like pedals.

Personally with mine, if im on one i keep the sport mode off, this way you can control the pedal nicely. But then with the extra tq my 888 has you really need to as otherwise you'll just spin up the wheels constantly.

Nice motors though, recaro seats are lovely and the rest isnt too badly put together.
