is there anyone else out there living in essex / local to me who uses this board and also drives a octy vrs as it would be nice to meet up with some people or set up a mini meet in this area as i live in colchester i am ,on the essex suffolk border so there is no localish meets .would love to see what other people have done to there cars .will post some pics of my vrs this week once i haved washed the dirt off. and the bleedin kids paw prints off the glass

I'm just the other side of Newmarket so not a million miles away...

Basildon, i think that there may be a meet organised in our area soon.

doesnt seem to much in our area really

Im just outside Ipswich

I'm Mildenhall, Quite often around the Ipswich / Colchester area with work....

I'm the otherside of Braintree and am in Colchester fairly often as my best mate lives in Leavenheath.

a couple of us then ,wrighty would be interested to see what 230bhp feels like in a octy .might convince me to get mine remapped

Well your more than welcome to have a go in it,

I will say it dosen't pull quite as hard as Beretta's(Same re-map)but thats because my LPG conversion slightly effects it.

But it still flies along and its showing 110K miles on the clock now and is going better than ever.

I'm around Colchester next week at some point,not sure if its going to be for lunch or evening yet though.

if its an evening will pm you my mobile number .and come meet you

No probs buddy,PM me at the beginning of next week.

Other than a re-map are you tempted to do anything else?

Mine has most of the Octy Mods carried out(other than a turbo conversion,LSD etc) yet anyway!!!

yes just looking around at the moment trying to get a gameplan in my head .want an exhaust system turbo back, filter ( panel/ cai), forge 007, brakes, silicone boost hoses,and turbo intake, then poss look at intercooler mods.

lots planned just working out what and when funds permitting .

has anyone tried the scorpion exhaust system as these where always excellent on ford turbos and havent seen anyone ever mention them .also anyone tried aquamist?

will i have a oct vrs and live in the switch'
