Guides
Owner-written maintenance and safety guides, based on years of club knowledge. Each one credits and links its original sources. The VX220 and the Speedster are the same car sold in different markets, so every guide applies to both unless it says otherwise. Some depend on the engine.
The known failure points to check in your first few weeks with a VX220 or Speedster. Most take minutes; all of them matter.
A 2006 buyer’s checklist that started as “what should I look for in a Turbo?”, with the questions to put to the seller, the weak points owners listed, and where the chassis number and release catches are. Written when the cars were young, so the warranty advice is out of date.
Manuals
How jobs are done, service bulletins, diagnostics and wiring diagrams.
Part numbers, by group from body to electrical.
Free to read, hosted by the Speedster Club Netherlands (opens in a new tab). They don't say which model years each section covers, so check against your own car.
