Ignore the badge snobbers. Brilliant cars for little money. Huge aftermarket support in terms of performance modifications and they have a huge following. Just service the car every 4k miles and use 3 litres for gearbox oil and you are good
I'll never forget the day where me and my lass were on a bypass in our 120hp t-jet, nothing coming so moved into right lane to overtake, next thing there is vxr doing like 120+ flying up our arse😂
It's called a top hat kit , and you currently have a crossover delete , wicked cars in my opinion , had 2 300hp+ , currently have a stage 3 golf but will be going back to a vxr after the new year , on another note the turbo flutter isnt great on a maf car , thats either got a mad vacuum leak or a dodgy recirculation delete which aint healthu for them
@@oliverbassil7943 I read the same article but wasn't that based on krs own turbo , I had a krs stage 2 and ran without a recirc for prob about 9 months and started to get alot of shaft play
The recirc delete wont hurt the turbo ran one on mine for two years no issues and i run one on my megane rs with no issues too, its all bs shaft play can be from not looking after the turbo correctly
Best colour! Had two Arden vxrs before i moved to a family bus 👌 proper miss my last one. Ko6 hybrid running 320bhp. Needs afl headlights instead of those astra elite headlights 👀😂
Had a H VXR but sold for an FK2 Type R. The FK2 is a fantastic machine but definitely miss the VXR, tried to buy it back but the lad won't sell 😢 Won't miss the FK2 when it goes which i never thought I'd say! Have fun, get more bolt ons and get it mapped!😊
Love these cars, had one previous 300+ bhp and was a blast, not sure if it’s a common fault with the passenger heated seat but as you say it gets very hot very quickly, mine did that and it wires under the seat caught fire and melted so just keep an eye on it mate🤦🏻♂️…btw have you noticed the ford battery🤦🏻♂️😅…keep it up bro smashing it👊🏼
Had 2 of these, awesome cars Tbf! Please hurry up and get the correct vxr headlights those pure silver ones look bloody horrible (especially as owner has blacked other parts)
That flutter is not meant to happen I had this engine in my mk4 astra van and it’s the recirc valve spring you nee to change it it’s for cheap one on and you may have a leak on vac
Dunno where you got the turbo blow up all the time from cause i owned one and abused the fuck outta of it and the turbo was fine i did how ever crack the manifold
Hmm I had a look at your channel when you got the s3 as I have one too so I thought OK great let's watch some s3 content You posted 2 videos and then nothing Now you post another new car making out I didn't want to run 3 cars etc Seems like you post a video if a car and then never to be seen again Sounds like you just have a focus to be honest The astra is a dog and I promise you'll just have problem after problem if it is yours Anyway not hating on you mate just content is not very well structured Sort it out and your channel might grow more
S3 will be back but modding it is rather expensive and I’m not in contact with companies to make stuff happen however more pov drives will be out soon eventually for it.

Cheers mate for what I paid bargain really 😁

Congratulations man 🎉 been watching you level up now for ages! Keep up the hard work 🙏🏾
Thanks bro appreciate it so much 🙌🙌🙌

Yes I completely forgot what it was called haha
@@MrBillyVlogsI'd get that flutter sorted , there not ment to do that , that's either a vac leak or a dodgy recirc delete which that don't like
Gonna disagree on the recirc delete. Krs turbos has done all sorts of testing and still runs a blank on their personal car lol.

Will get around to getting them changed aha

Won't miss the FK2 when it goes which i never thought I'd say!
Have fun, get more bolt ons and get it mapped!😊
Get a rear anti roll bar....game changer for chassis modification. Totally changes the handling characteristics. Enjoy vxr world 🤙🏼
Nice have an arden vxr myself and you have standard 19s ronals , i use 18s team dynamics pro race 1.2 on mine
Yep I’ve always wanted them alloys on a Blue VXR definitely the best look🔥
Nice, I have an Astra van I did a VXR conversion on, got the car from salvage, match made in heaven. Awesome car 👍💪
Thank you!
Always wanted one of these, they sound awesome
They do

@@MrBillyVlogs welcome buddy
Had 2 of these, awesome cars Tbf! Please hurry up and get the correct vxr headlights those pure silver ones look bloody horrible (especially as owner has blacked other parts)
Yeah I will get a set 🤣
Awesome little cars im running 400bhp currently planning to go 450 next year
Rear knocking is probably the rear springs there common for braking.
Yeah I’ll take a look mate thank you!
I've always wanted to get the nurburgring vxr, definitely something I would get
Their good cars bro but do love my S3 🥹
Congratulations on the new car
Welcome to the club 👍
turbo shouldn't flutter like that, you've got a boost leak somewhere mate
Alright mate thank you!
That flutter is not meant to happen I had this engine in my mk4 astra van and it’s the recirc valve spring you nee to change it it’s for cheap one on and you may have a leak on vac
Love this mate keep it up
Nice ,but I’d prefer a focus st in orange. And I’m a Vauxhall guy.
I want a Focus ST also but not anytime soon as got too many cars now!
All u need now iz neons no car looks good without neons they r a must hav
Congrats! Not a fan of VXR's but as long as you like it!
Thanks bro still prefer my s3 but this is good fun for now 🤣
🔥
👀
7:10 its a top hat mate
S3 daily, VXR fun car
S3 is expensive to daily.
Just keep all of em & just day insure one when you wanna take one out 🤷😂
It shouldnt flutter like that,check your vac lines buddy
Thank you!
@@MrBillyVlogs you can do a rear bcs delete aswell
Why Billy, could of got so much better. Nothing wrong with a VXR, mod the fk out of it Bill.
It was cheap mate why not
@@MrBillyVlogs they're quick tbh, Car build for the channel?
@5ifty6ixmediauk mod it properly and tune it there a fun car I'd rather it over his audi any day
Mod it properly give it a good tune can't go wrong and best colour
I wana buy 1
The older engine was better the xe valver two legger
Oh really
Bad car turbo shit all the time blow up😊
Damn thats why we got the s3 still 👀👀👀
Not being funny with the comments mate it's well known sorry to sink your ship.
@@traceypotts9425nonsense
Dunno where you got the turbo blow up all the time from cause i owned one and abused the fuck outta of it and the turbo was fine i did how ever crack the manifold
You know nothing 😂 don’t listen to this person clearly has No clue whatsoever
Hmm
I had a look at your channel when you got the s3 as I have one too so I thought OK great let's watch some s3 content
You posted 2 videos and then nothing
Now you post another new car making out I didn't want to run 3 cars etc
Seems like you post a video if a car and then never to be seen again
Sounds like you just have a focus to be honest
The astra is a dog and I promise you'll just have problem after problem if it is yours
Anyway not hating on you mate just content is not very well structured
Sort it out and your channel might grow more
S3 will be back but modding it is rather expensive and I’m not in contact with companies to make stuff happen however more pov drives will be out soon eventually for it.
I need to do more videos on my cars in my driveway ect but where I live isn’t exactly the best for it mate.
