Yandards 0 Posted May 24, 2006 Better get that sig changed then Jim! What happended to the desire for a 1.8 or has the temptation of a great car been the lure? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted May 24, 2006 To be honest I only wanted a 1.8 as I thought it was all I can afford. If I can get a 2.0 16v with all the goodness of that later interior for not a lot more than it seems silly not to! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scarlett 0 Posted May 24, 2006 Nevermind the bloomin’ interior – if you end up with mine you’ll be keeping up with VR’s for valver money… now that’s good value….! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewb1985 0 Posted May 24, 2006 do you really keep up with VRs? mine is similar power to yours but no had the chance to test it our yet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZippyVR6 0 Posted May 24, 2006 I can testify to this. We were 3 abreast in a ton 30 rolling roadblock, That Ruby is a monster. From hammer down at 60 or so to about 130 there wasn't much in it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted May 24, 2006 Wish mine was that quick! Maybe after next week... Has it had a remap? Vince was trying to persuade me to have one at the same time as doing the cam. Would have done it, but haven't quite got the funds at the mo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
