thinking of getting a vts for the summer......

[gtipower]

hi guys thinking of purchasing a vts for the summer i want something nippy/responsive, but yet not too thirsty.
according to the book i have i should be looking at 0-60 in 8.3sec, 120bhp and 35mpg?
is there anything that makes these abit quicker without too much money??
also are there any common faults?
cheers

A VTS 0-60 is in the region of 7 seconds not 8. Bout 7.7 i think.Stripping them makes the most difference so taking out the rear seats etc and its free.

wont beat a vts £££'s for power on the market

and then there's always room for improvement when you want it a little bit quicker ;)

Depends how you drive it mate, put your foot down then she will guzzle the petrol!
But the thrills that come with it are endless, i cant stop driving mine :D

nice car for the money

Great for the money now.

Over 3 years I've averaged over 40mpg in mine.

Look for all the usual like frequent oil changes etc and any signs of neglect.

Look for head gasket problems (oil leak front left of engine, oil in coolant etc.)
