Instead of replying to each one in a desperate attempt to get my post count up, thought I'd do a big long one!
=Tommy Twaite VRS

I used to own a 4G Lude and have been looking around for a real mint S Type. While I was trawling the forums I came across your post. I've owned several VRS's since 2005 and I have to say they are a fantastic car in every way and very, very underrated. Easy to tune, handle great, good fuel economy etc etc. I was speaking to a pro driver who owns a couple of race circuits and has track day experience using his cars. He had an Evo 9 GT, some type of Ferrari, a Lamborghini, M5 and an Octavia VRS with a stage 1 remap, the rest of the car was standard. He said it would destroy all of the other cars around the track and is a very underrated car indeed. He said he was given the new VRS estate to write a column about in Autocar and was left very disappointed and is going to be a very overrated car in every way. He even went as far to say that they should never have produced a front wheel drive VRS estate like it as it's very wayward at the rear even in the dry and he lost it a couple of times where any other non sports car would have made the bend easily. He put it down to the rear anti roll bar being far too thick. He's also heard of a couple of gearbox failures within the first 500 miles :(. I think i'll be sticking to the older VRS or a Lude from now on....
Cheers for the info on the VRS, I have heard that the gearbox is not happy with alot of punishment, however this shouldn't pose a problem for me, I'm not planning or able to do anything to it mod wise as it'll be a lease vehicle as will be used for work. So won't be tracking it or anything like that, also its a lease vehicle, anything goes wrong I give it back and let them fix it for me at no cost. Good to know that it should be a decent suitable car for my purposes anyway!

I'm good thanks hope you are too, you still rocking the Mugen awesomeness?
I'm good bud, a few more years on me, but that just adds wisdom right? :lol:

I'm still rocking something of sorts - mostly a pile of parts, but there is a build going on slowly but surely:

Well at the moment I don't do things at all!

Two little nippers, one nearly two and the other just a month old are keeping me somewhat occupied. Tis all good, I'll finish it one day.

Oh and if you manage to read everything, you get an award at the end! :lol:

No problem Steve, i've seen how you drive and seen some video footage, so i'd hate for you to end up in a ditch in your VRS partly due to the car and the rest down to your driving skills lol. I know a lot about the VRS so if you want to speak to me my number's 07967 755893 and it's Tommy Twaite (It's French with a silent 'i').
