Arn't you glad you got the turbo over the 2.2, even if it is more juicy 
Get an undertray and deck it

nice to c u got a vx mate, i miss mine!
its interesting wot u say about it also, i would agree totally about everything, handling is really good but i can understand how people crash, if u push t a little over the edge then u will crash it for sure i think!!!
not excatly a car for powersliding .......lol
wot milage u getting from a tank of fuel...... think my best was 180mile
was talking to courtney last week and got onto subject about the vx and they were saying if u put an exhaust on it and phase 2 it u will have 240bhp and it will over boost to 16 and sit at 13psi normal
compared with normal of 7 and overboost of 13 on normal vx turobs thats gonna make huge difference,
it always anoyed me how it pulled strong around 4k revs then dropped off after which is when it drops to the 7psi boost i found out last week!!!
would love to own a modded one, runnin some large power!!!
u wait till u get winter and try getting that heater to clear the front window.......think that was prob the most annoying thing........ hehe

most of the people on the forum say the 2.2 is just as fast if not faster round a track than the turbo.
i havent driven a turbo yet so its just what i hear.
i loe your last couple of pis, very clear.

can get about 240 to the tank driving sensibly, 180 most of the time tho. Yeah i have added a k&n panel filter and taken some of the crap out of the airbox, its pulls a bit better past 4k now.

how did u get £45 in the tank..........petrol mush have gone up since i had mine, most i got in was £32 i think
i heard the 2.2 are bit flat and one bloke who bought some parts i had left over had 2.2 lightening and was bit disapointed in it compared to a turbo!
but sounds like its alot beta on fuel.........
