Dont know much about vitesse,mainly the 200 series. It has helped knowing there are newer versions because condition is the main thing. I thought it would be hard to come by a T16 version. Some of the mods planed involve taking block & that out anyway,so trying to work out if beter to get anothe...

I did like my 620 ti interior was good,but with design couldn't load bigger stuf in. Even in my 214 i have carried loads even washine machine with no trouble,with the split rear seats apart from anoying bench. I prefer the look of the hatch on the ebay pic. Didn't rearlise you could get that year ex...

On the one i test drove it felt standard untill 2500rpm then i could feel the extra torque of the turbo,was years ago though. But the 620 ti i liked being able to drive off boost around town,then add some rpm & take off. Was good at coping with the extra weight. But alot of people use it,i would...

Spose weight on kv6 has big impact as well. Test drove the 220 coupe turbo was nice,just big laggy. Obviously just need few mods. Had a 620 ti 140 felt like 70,but that saloon & blew the engine up on it. Has anyone tried the VTEC engines in rover i assume not easy or would see more around. But s...

I do like the tuning potential with the turbo. As standard is bit sluggish for me but dont know much about the kv6 anyway. i still trying to work it all out for next year. The 200 series is harder to come by in good condition is the prob. But with the 400 bubble would be forced to do engine transpla...
