A vis is the engine in the 20v coupe and a VIS register is where all the owners can say hello and thread pose at each other!

I'm still recovering from the shock of picking it up SO cheap...it's not perfect (i.e. no air-con as we've already established!!) - has had a bit of paint here, there plus needed some major TLC on the interior and moisture in the driver's footwell needs investigating but still, a LOT of car for the money. And thanks to the wonder that is FCCUK I can sort it all just using the search function (he says protecting himself from the "Wrath of Sta(h)n" ;\)

Thank you - yes that's the one.

It still looks pretty much the same as it did back then in 2010.

Is it possible to merge this thread with the VIS register in Coupe Model Registers? Then close this thread.

Just before this thread is closed ...

i was speaking with a very renowned Coupe specialist/expert who has owned or driven all models of coupe.

He told me the VIS is the most modern in technology of all coupes and is vastly under appreciated due to ignorance.

When also said the VIS will BEAT. Standard turbo on rwisty country roads.

As he had proven this many times. thumb

My 20V is probably quicker than my XKR on a narrow, twisty country road too ...

...and softer springs. That would help greatly on a bumpy, twisty and undulating road. Enough to nullify the advantage of an extra 70 bhp? Only if the road has no straight sections at all between those twists and turns.
