Greetings from Muscat, Oman .. first posting

Believe I'm in the right place (tomorrow I pick up a new, flame red, Magna VRX auto, 3.5 , 230 bhp - according to the sales blurb) .. cost Omani Riyals 6,650 = Aus $ 22,500 .. seems a good price for the car specifications .. firstly, am I in the right place to discuss this car ?

Interested to know if there are any easy modifications to derestrict the top speed, which I understand has been limited to 210 kph .. whilst, again as I have read, believe 240 kph + is fairly easily attainable with this engine.

Cheers .. Bob

Nope ... new to this forum and, hopefully today, the owner of a new magna VRX. :thumbsup:
