Been nice today whilst i was at work so thought i would get some cleaning stuff together and give the vx a wash after work and take some pics as i dont have any decent ones yet.
Well that was the plan. Its becoming a bit of a theme with this car whenever i want to actually use it properly or whatever it fucking rains, thought bollocks to it i will see what i can get, so here we are
and heres one of it in its favorite place

Not really, but then i had a stripped XE corsa before this, its surprisingly similar. The only things i dont like about it are the ABS cuts in too soon, the horn is in a stupid place, the fuel tank is too small and the heater is pretty crap. But there only issuses when your talking about it, as soon as you drop into the drivers seat, prod the starter button and take off down your favorite country lane it really doesnt matter (the abs thing is only an issue when its really wet or a crap road surface)

Looks stunning!
Never been in 1 myself but would lv to, so i could compare it to the pulling power of the evo.
Any tuning plans?

Not yet. I want to sort the suspension really, its a tad rolly polly for my liking. I would say there is nothing in it between this and my gf's Evo 7, hers just has a few bits on so around 300bhp.

From what i have read and seen about them i thought the handling setup was spot on and highly rated!
Maybe its not quite a match for my MR then performance wise but when comparing cars at this level it all depends on the driver IMO

Never driven an MR but its a totally different animal to hers, comparing it to her 7 there is very little lag and the feed back thru the steering is imense, sometimes it seems like your hands are connected directly to the road. The evo is a stunning bit of kit and almost stupidly fast point to point when its wound up but it doesnt always feel like driving it yourself when compared to the vx, if that makes sense.
