Hi All,

Have a black vxr and want some advise on getting the most out of it. Have received some good advise from a guy over here (Sydney, Aust) and want to throw the question out back home to see what the general advise is...

I have been recommended the bluefin superchip stage2 remap with either a milltech or remus exhaust system...(undecided)

Being a twitchy little beast as it is - I want to do more without messing up the basic running of the car...What's the general consensus with superchips...what's the draw backs...

The problem we have in Australia is Courtney Sports dont a dealer in Australia. Tim as i said you on Opelaus this site should be able to help you out . Tuners on here regardless who you go with are held in high regards

What i was getting at is that in Australia there arent many Tuners who are interested in Tuning European Cars. The Vast Majority who purchase a European Car in Australia never modify them .

****...sorry..I went overseas for a month and only just got back online.
Nice vxr...I think the Black wheels does really set them off. Mine is still standard - but I want to to the full stage 3..

It pretty much looks identical to mine.

I grew up in Hare Street, near buntingford. My Parents are in Chelmsford, Essex.
