What about a mk3 rev3 MR2 Turbo - or too old? ???

you mean a mk3 MR2 / MRS, with a bolt on turbo kit?

not the 1994 mk2 rev3? (if that forget it, barge in comparison, although still a nice car, i've got a rev2 power to weight is about 200bhp / ton on most, mine weighs in at 1280kg and has about 280bhp on last dyno)

Whoops!  mk2 is what I meant, you're right! :D

Doh!  :(

Well I have only tried the VX 200 Turbo and compared to my Westie (SE R1) I can say its no where near as quick!

Bit of a silly statement don't you think?

A car weighing half as much with the same power.

Fairly obvious that the R1 powered westy is quicker  :bangshead:

Coco, no, no, no!

Not come across any R1 having 240bhp yet, even the SBK boys aint getting that out of one!! So really, no i dont think its a silly statement! :p:angry:

Stock R1's have 140-150 bhp.

Surely they have 240bhp per ton, which is about the same per ton or more than a vx200T ?

Hi Scott

Try logging onto privilege.com or by phone if you wish they have come up with the best quotes so far.  

vx220 turbo standard £441 for myself & Jo 10000 miles

vx220 turbo modified giving 240bhp £595 myself & Jo 10000 miles

All I have to do now is sell the westy so I can buy a VX220turbo! Open to offers anybody??

My license is clean thankyou very much and has been for about 8 yrs now :angry:

I'm 26, 2yr NCB, garaged, 25000miles a year and it is about 700quid on my VX220 (2.2 NA).

(I just moved the policy from the tintop to the VX and it cost me 30 extra)

I guess it's coz it's a grp 17 car, where as the westfield is a kit car?

Wouldn't mind spending £700....... Gonna try and get some more prospective quotes....there's gotta be better prices out there even allowing for my "less than ideal" postcode

i am 33 with 6 yrs ncb £650 unlimited mileage on the VX 2.2

having driven both the N.A (mine) and a 260bhp VXT i think both cars are fantastic to drive the N.A is a little bit stiffer suspension wise and easier to chuck through corners it sjust depends how much power you want , personally i prefer the N.A's power delivery over the turbo but its each to their own

best car i've ever had though  :D  :p

just to add if you get one get a geo set up by scared stiff , you wont get much understeer then  ;)
