My brother in law to be has the turbo one goes verywell its een 160 on a private runway of course.
I would n't dream of taking on a V6 Turbo. They're pretty awesome. However my 0-60 has gone from 11 to 8 secs. Not too Impressive till you consider the size, weight and aerodynamics of the lump.
Love the ones in the fog and the closeups of the front end.
Very smart motor.
Whats next on the list?
Keep up the good work.

Vaux gradually reduced the spec of the car over the years so i'm adding parts not used for later models. For example, I have no rear Interior Light, and no Electric Rear Windows etc.
On the Exteior I'm toying with some Carbon Fibre Mirrors, a Carbon fibre front skirt, a VXR rear Spoiler, Dual exhaust.
I'm also thinking of altering the fog light mounts again.
Its interesting reading back to see what I have and have not done.....Anyway had a busy week. After me front spoiler was nicked from Bromborough I went for some retail therepy....
as matty said, looks great mate... shame about thieving jealous Grrrs - still, kept ur head up and well worth it... u got any lowering in mind? to me there seems to be a fair sized emptiness in the arches... the wheels are pletyful in size from the visual aspect so for me, lowering would be the way forward... even an inch would make a huge difference
Cheers Matty/Dave. I gather you guys meet on Thursdays in New Brighton....I Nearly brought it down last night but it wasn't quite finished.
All the parts are Vectra parts which makesthe difference. My Sri is now 80% VXR

I've just spent £2500 on this change so I'm gonna wait. A few mates have told me to lower it 30-40 mm. If I do then its back to the BTCC peeps as they havea special set up for diesel vectras. But it aint cheap.
I want to finish the from end off again. Either another irmscher spoiler of a lexmaul bumper.

v6 turbos are pretty quick...our works ones top out at about 150mph cuz of the roof lightbars.... not much gets away from you in one of those! !!
Only thing is that they CHEW fuel...150 miles and tank is dry!!! i couldnt live with that in my own car...diesel powers rules!
Thats the beauty of a 888 remap and a diesel. 170 BHP and 57 MPG!
I was late for me flight so when I left the ticket barrier at the entrance to T3 Short stay Car Park I clipped the kerb with the rear. Thankfully the Rim Protection on the Tyre has Taken the Hit and the Rim is OK.
Then when I flew back in that night I was right up close to the ticket machine and still clipped the kerb on the passenger side trashing the Front wheel. A few members on another forum say They've done the same thing at the same spot. However I couldn't prove the Airports design was at fault.
