Great car, knowledgeable dude. Sad to see so many ripping Nigel in the comments though, yes he seems a bit quirky, but look at what he has built. He's not remapped a financed "whip" - he's got a raw car that he knows and loves everything about, and takes it to track to enjoy it. Appreciate a proper petrol head when you see one...
Nigels just from the era where you had to know your stuff when tuning your car or you'd blow it up ...you couldn't just get 80hp from a 350 quid map...these guys paved the way with tuning and put all their spare time and wallets into it ...wasn't until the jdms arrived that you could tune a car with any reliability.
Rumours have it, Nigel didn't shave he's top lip, he licked the hair clean off 😂 Nigel is a top bloke, his knowledge of this build is amazing ✊🏽🙌🏽 top G wicked car
@@kieranrowlands7529 You really don't have to do much if not anything to the internals until you start pushing big numbers with a hybrid. I was referring to Nigel in the video because somebody in Germany done a A20NFT swap in their VX220 and it's a proper weapon.. while sounding like a jet engine on boost. Not to mention A20NFT is quite torquey as standard
These cars are a handful with standard power... if it rotates on a chamber you're spinning...plus hes running semi slicks...this is not a big heavy awd bmw with computers , if you don't have all 4 wheels on the deck in a 220 turbo you don't boot it. Ricky has no experience trying to recover one of these and he doesn't have smooth inputs.
Kids here making fun but can't even afford finance payments on a new polo. This man brought this car new and spent years refining his perfect ride. Show respect, don't throw shade people.

Nigel - Percentage of degrees for traction control Ricky - did you say it’s got traction control Nigel - na I ain’t set that up yet, yeah I took that off..... and the ABS 🤷🏼♂️🤣
@@rscholey85 Wrong, wrong and wrong. F1 Cars have no ABS, Formula E no ABS, WEC (world endurance championship) no ABS. Any of the Touring Car series regulated by TOCA no ABS. The majority of Sports and GT racing series throughout the world no ABS. Even most amateur club racing series require it to be disabled. There’s no skill involved in punching a pedal and letting a driver aid do the work.
People who hate on the Vauxhall brand have never driven a VX220, Astra GTE, MK4 Astra GSI, Monaro 6.2 V8, Carlton, Cavalier GSI, Astra VXR (Nurburgring) or Vectra VXR. Big respect for this guy and his VX220!🙌

@@ARDEN440i exactly bro, I smoked a S Class AMG yesterday with my Vectra VXR stage 1. Embarrassing!!! I have owned many German cars and Japanese but my Vectra takes the crown. I have also owned a Vectra B GSI with an induction kit and kept up with a superbike
@@HarryG98 I agree except for the Astra J VXR which is more refined than the H Astra VXR. The insignia has a lot of potential and has the same engine as my Vectra VXR. The Z28NET is the most reliable VXR engine and people claim they aren't because they are using the wrong oil and snap the timing belt
Well,,,that got awkward 😂😂 Nice chap but did spoil the vid! I remember when these came out I sat in one at the motor show in Birmingham loved it. Nigel pal next time button it and trust your own build or just send the whip and stay home mate.
Cool motor - have some serious fun in that thing! Ricks bum was going when he was revving it too much - big Nige was going to snap him in 2 like a pencil! Lol 😂
Only 1 week left to get a ticket!! llfgames.com/index.php/product/audi-rs4-b5-avant/
Nice video Ricky
Man put you under pressure 😂😂 change sooner change 500 sooner 👍👌
Reckon a nice clean VX220 turbo VXR would be a good shout as your next LLF Games Car...?

You know how many Nigel’s were registered at birth last year?
NONE!
Nigel is a G!

The name Nigel might be dieing out but everyones met a Nigel.

So true, but they are 50/60!
In the USA it’s Chad 🤣🤣 and everyone sucks.

We only want what's best for him
Your probably the only guy his let drive his car 😂 can tell he doesn’t like it
Can I drive you car mate 🤣 looks sick
😂
Yeah, I was just about to say exactly the same, he wasn't happy to let Ricky drive his car an give it some beans.... 🤣😂
lol yeah few awkward moments where he looked concerned!
That drive was traumatic for him man 🤣
Nigel orders WD-40 in bulk
💀💀😂😂🤣🤣
While you don't know how to do an oil change 😂
Change a bit earlier rick, you can imagine..wife " how was it love, he kept redlining my car bab😂😂😂😂😂" i bet you wanted to rag that ricky..great video
Loooool
Nigel is the only man on earth that has never lost a 10mm socket...

Got me giggling hard like a little girl with that comment ... 😂
@@Y3DLO have you thought about transitioning?
@@MrSimon1909 did it once… wasn’t my cup of tea. Have you? Sounds like your all for the transitions. I’m good as a dude .
What a guy! Man like Nige... No disrespect, I'd loved to hear Rickys reaction after he left 😂😂✌
Thought he was gonna inch punch Ricky when he redlined it 😂😂😂
The handling issue due to Vauxhall wanting to put 17s allround for looks instead of the Lotus 16 and 17s suggested. Great cars though
That car must be fast, look at how far its pushed back nigel’s hairline😂
Nooooooooooooo! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 lit🔥
🤣😂🤣oh no !!!
You can't do Nigel like that xD
Bell end
😅😂😅😂 Nigel mansel or Nigel Ben PM's , bless him what a treat PM's all he needs now is a number plate 'MAD NIGEL
12mm Ply "Does the bloody job" HAHAHA !!!
This made me crease when he said that 😂😂
Hahah yeh man that creased me up
Ffs nigel looks like a right nigel but he could literally roundhouse ya lips off 😳
They are quick cars, very underrated.
Still wouldnt buy one 🤷♂️
The original 2.2 non-turbo was the best balance of power and handling . Lovely cars i agree.
@@apexgym6515 must be a golf r or Audi s3 wanker.
Very rare card I’ve only seen handful on the roads
@@grovsey3656 Why, because he doesn’t want to drive a Vauxhall? Nice assumptions you brain dead oxygen thief. 😂🤦🏼♂️
The owner looks scared for his life when your driving Ricky. 😂
Rightly so, pretty much all the VX220's sold have been written off. Fun but lethal especially in the wet.
Nigel can talk till the cows come home. Epic car 👌🏻
They have forged pistons from factory not rods
Nigel defo servicing his car after that 😂😂😂
He's really paranoid about your driving haha he's like change change CHANGE!! and both hands Ricky
Was laughing my head off when he said "change change yu fucka" 🤣😂
Good LLF is back to joyrides . Love these videos 💯💯💯
finally Ricky doing some proper drivers car snot these heavy boats with 1000hp
Nigel must work at Curry’s PC world... he’s got that sales man chat. He’s sold it to me
Didn't even know this car existed lmao. Nigel looks like the kind of bloke to own one in 2020 to be honest. Love it.
You srs? Bless. These were awesome
As lethal as the sw20 mr2 turbo. If not more lethal. As these are way smaller.
Change
Chaaange
Chaaaaaaange 500 earlier.
"Ricky just giggles"
Vx220 finally being driven properly 🤣🤣
Just realised I've never seen a girl come on with a car.
Seen a few once ricky starts driving 😂
6two1 had a female owner escort cossie a while back (maybe a year ago)
@@fussyfez I had to read this twice because I read it totally differently at first 😂😂😂
Be nice for Ricky to see this
Just calvin in the passenger seat thats all
I used to work with a Nigel.. he was just like this guy..
Gonna have to correct my man
The vxr engine comes with forged pistons
Still has the shit rods
I see why you swapped your 1.6 😁
Should've swapped in the A20NFT 😏
@@ARDEN440i probably should of 😂
Don’t think I’ve had a week without a problem
Blew my turbo the other day 😢
Why ? A20NFT arent exactly the strongest or most reliable things either

"We'll turn turn it up, we'll do anti lag, so go straight, Buzz it in alright.....BOTH HANDS MATE" 🙌 😂
😂
Owned it from new FairPlay! I think many would underestimate this on road
Nigel, I've made a weapon for the road ....#LivingLifeNigel
Lmao....
Sick car but Nigel seems a bit lesbian about the gear changes 😂
Both hands remember 🤣🤣 CHANGE CHANGE leftttt left right BOTH HANDS REMEMBER BOTH HANDS
kinda annoying but he loves his car i cant blame him lol

You're breaking the car Samicky!!!
Uncle bellend of the family.... Everyone has got one
You’re definitely it.
Really nice to have a proper breakdown of the set up!
If you don't want your car revving over 5k, don't put Ricky in the driver's seat! :D
Didn’t he say 6k
My thoughts exactly. Smash it if it’s built
change......CHANGE !

Change up, Change down (at 6000 rpm please Ricky)
You could tell by the facial expressions and the "change with 500 less" comment that this car is his baby 👌
44 teeth’s Nige in the flesh. Awesome.
🤣🤣🤣 Factsv
Counting the Teeth on the flywheel. New one to me.
I know the guy who built this car such a clever guy. Nigel always cracks me up!
Yes Ricky! That’s my evening entertainment sorted 👌🏼
Short evening pal

You need to get out more pal...
@@bobcarter2329 I've been out all day 😂

Change gear, change gear, good job he hasn't had a review from monky London lol
Classic Nigel Glasses... bought from the counter of a local BP garage... yeh roight noice glasses nige
Sick car though init

I'm sure that car was sad going home back to Nigel, poor car so much wanted Ricky to ride it more🤣
After 20 years Memphis drops out the Eleanor and now drives a sick Vauxhall. When Ricky was driving, Memphis balls gone in 60 seconds
Ffs Ricky change 500 earlier! 🤣
hes right but if the torque is dropping off its pointless and likely to cause damage

Absolute pearler!

Great Video Ricky, forgot about the VX220. Nigel’s a right geeza, sort of fella who’d give you a dry slap if you walked on his front lawn !

That Vauxhall’s drivers a proper Giza 😎

Very cool very intelligent bloke, no willy waving just does his shit. Well done lad all the best 👍🏻
Love the technical part of this one!! Very very well done car, must feel crazy to drive (in) it! At least great to hear the anti lag ! Very cool
Very nervous guy which is understandable but still gave him the full experience. What a legend
Cool motor - have some serious fun in that thing! Ricks bum was going when he was revving it too much - big Nige was going to snap him in 2 like a pencil! Lol 😂
Never heard so much technical information in a video ever. Fair play to him. What a weapon
These cars cut the design mustard even in 2020; they just look brilliant.
Mans definitely a nigel, nice guy & what a car. But you've got to hit that redline
Ricky your a good lad, nigel was mint
Nigel's a maniac and I absolutely love it
Picking up my first Vx in a couple of weeks. Really like the rear spoiler. Where did you get it?
Change... Rick... change....eyes on the revs when Rick drove the car😂😂🤣🤣🤣all the way!
did not even know such a car existed and its Vauxhall as well! just wow!!
Gotta love Nigel! He's built a beast there 👍🏻
Never seen someone so uncomfortable letting Ricky drive their car 😂😂
“Change about 500 earlier” howling 😂😂😂😂
Love the old school boys; knowledge reigns supreme
The pride on his face!!
His dreamnt of the day some1 tells him his built a good car.
Knowledgeable guy, nice motor mate, always loved these
He will let you bounce on the anti lag but wont let you pass 6k, really..... haha
