i bought a dreamscience handset from a member on vxronline when i had the vxr, was a great map, made a huge difference to the car!

 

[gsmith]

Don't suppose you still have the dreamscience? That's what I had on my focus st was excellent. Just hearing a lot of horror stories regarding mapping the vxr.

 

[gsmith]

The other one ive to look after. Full aero pack upgraded leather with arden pin stripe

 

[WarrenVXR]

who does the SMD conversion?

 

[gsmith]

Mine already had it done pal maybe @Iain Traynor can tell you were to get the SMD done.

How does the new VXR compare to the old one? From what I seen the new one is a much nicer place to be in

 

[gsmith]

Cracking car nice place to be. The leather makes a lot of difference to them. Feels a big car on the road.

 

[MarkP]

Get some rear and interior pics up. Looks really nice. More BHP than its predecessor?

 

[gsmith]

Will get some of the next few days. Claimed 280bhp but it wouldn't be as quick as my 07 one and its 270bhp as it sits.

 

[gsmith]

eibachs are here fitting them next week

 

[euge07]

sorry bud sold the dreamscience, was a great map, you should be able to get one for sale on the vxronline forum.
i was on the same boat, i didn't fancy having it mapped here and wouldn't have paid to go across the water to have it done lol

the new vxr looks great, is there any mods planned for it?

 

[gsmith]

Gtc is standard and will be staying like that I'd imagine. Was on with dreamscience today surprised to be told that they no longer sell them new but can still reset them if I get a 2nd hand one so will keep hunting for one. The bluefin is £320 for the basic map with the mods on the car you have to go to throney Motorsport for there stage 2/3 bluefin s are £550.

Nice Car, Love the colour

 

[gsmith]

pipercross filter here and few maintence parts

 

[gsmith]

Busy day yesterday drop links fitted. Ball joint in. New tyres all round and not to forget the Eibachs Nice wee drop and the car is feeling so much nicer to drive with the new rubber and springs. Fitting the induction kit this week and then alloys heading away in next few weeks for refurb. So much for not spending to much on this one.lol

 

[MATT93]

This makes me want a VXR

 

[gsmith]

Really enjoying it now. Missed the focus at the start but really warming to my vxr now. Cant get over how much easier run this is to which is a bonus

 

[MATT93]

Ohh really, Great MPG I hear you say .. Really want a Burg, would buy one in a heart beat if a nice one came up over here.

 

[gsmith]

Love the burgs but first thing id do is change the wheels. I don't understand why they put them wheels on them never liked them. I think the upgraded 19 on mine are perfect just need to pick a new colour for mine

Yeah ditto, Dark grey/black is always a winner imo.

 

[gsmith]

Really thinking grey love the current finish but would be a hard match I think.

Good call, I just thought the silver looked a bit bland on them there.

Car looks well though .

@andy_gdon.

 

[warren]

Really like this, just out of interest what had you done to your ST to get 300bhp?
