2nd Vxr, loving it, next mods??

[fletch_vxr]

Picked up my new Vxr last night having sold my 1st one for a focus st3, biggest mistake ever, but really happy with the new one, it currently has:
Fmic
Uprated actuator
Bigger plenum
K&n filter
Full Remus
Quaife LSD
Hoses
Courtney stage 3
I am happy with it at the mo but am just curious if there is anything I cam do to help support what I have etc, or that I need, I am already planning dap r's.. Any help appreciated..

after daps would have to be a RARB

[jonny23]

did you have problems with the st3? or just prefer the vxr?

[Amraam]

Part of me wishes I got an ST over the VXR after seeing my mate's ST-2. Curious to know why you don't like the ST.

lower it, rarb and brakes are a must with that power

The st just felt as if it wasn't built very well, I had an st3 with dreamscience, not the best car I've driven, had problems with the dual mass.. Nothing else major though, back to the Vxr I only bought it last weekend, it is claimed Courtney stage 3, Only produces 273bhp with 327ftlb, in vauxhalls mag courtneys advert claims stage 3, 300-315 bhp? Am I missing anything? It's just I'm not over mechanically minded..

have you had it checked since you had it for BHP?

If so and it less i would take to CS to find out why it is low,

stage 2 but then they decided to fit a cooler?

[fletch_vxr]

No havnt had it on the rollers yet, I will do soon, Courtney done all the work on the car, I have a reciept for stage 3 so cant see why it's so low? Dont get me wrong the printout is impressive and no flat spots..

way it a warm day on RR day? could be the roller i went to a RR down and it was about 40bhp out lol my m8 got type R who RR at 235 week before went to another and read 200 lol std typre R was makin bout 160 bhp lol

[fletch_vxr]

Lol really I will try and get it back on the rollers ASAP then, it would make sense as my st was 270bhp and the astra feels quicker, the power is so kuche better in the Vxr aswell..
