   sell it and buy a vts rather than a conversion?

   will cost about £400-£1000 depending on how much work you do yourself mate, if you still think its worth it after that, then go for it, i promise you, you won't be dissapointed!

   i would defo get a vts but i reckon buying a vts car will be easier. depends how handy your are with spanners tho. also SOME vts are slightly cheaper than vtrs due to their insurance group so it could work out good

   tried to convert my vtr to a vts,,,its huge hassle to be honest but what stopped my result was the stupid mechanics in ireland who were unable to unlock the ECU.. whhick resulted in FAILURE!!IM HAPPY WITH THE 1.4 AT THE MIN...
   i say buy a vts if you can get the rite one at the rite price!
