My cars coming along steady lol take my time with this one as trying to save for the big wide world aswell! This year sould bring 17/18 inch wheels, gsr induction kit, mirror caps, black rear valence etc... Had a cat back magnex exhaust fitted the other month! Still need to get a vid lol

[saxo_vot]

very clean car mate...:y:

[Jimmy-Boy]

Very nice car man!!! good to see your not too far form me either :P my piper 3" outward came today so hope it sounds like yours!!! :D how did you get the exhaust sitting right in the end ? :)

[shooorn94]

Love everything so far wallsy, love how your car sits looks just right on the black 1.2's. The piper sounds good too, is it just fitted to a standard centre section with cat? Because it sounds meaty if it is.

I'd stick with the drum beam for the conversion bud greensaxo (http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5336&page=31) did for his vts conversion and seems to have had no problems :y:

Keep it up wallsy.

I love your car so much Wallsy, its gorgeous. I want some hubcentric spacers on mine now i've seen how nice it looks when they are fitted. Keep it up matey :y:

Yeah not far at all actually, was down your area the other day, should have an essex meet one day. :y: Awesome man, you got it fitted yet? In the end i used the exhaust rubbers that came with it, but used tie straps to pull it in to place. Cheers bud!

Been off work the last couple days, so decided to respray my centre console and vents etc. Was starting to go of the silver colour, and wanted something bit more standard, so gone for rover charcoal gray. Pretty much done just gona lacquer them tomorrow. :y:

Literally just brought some plasma dials for it aswel from visual performance, so will update when they arrive.

Those dials look amazing Wallsy :y: What mileage is your car on! 25 thou?? Mines on near enough 90 thou lol. Shame the clock isn't lit up, that would bug me haha. And the centre console looks awesome matey :y: Considerin doin mine, much work? Never looked into it tbh.

Thanks Love! ;) Lol well the guy i brought it off said it was a true 15thousand when i brought it, i think he lied though! Especially as he mysteriously lost the service history lol Yeah the clock has something wrong with it, lights up after like 10mins for some strange reason, is quite annoying!

Ermm not much work just takes a while, like gotta take ya time when spraying it, and can be a bastard to get back in with all the wires and crap! I just had a lot or free/bored time on my hands. :P Ta though matey!

[Ben]

Haha did you not get any of the MOT certificates and that? Cos that'll have the mileage on. God i wish mine was on 25 thousand, mind you it runs fine so i'm not gonna complain. Gettin myself some new interior, MK2 VTS whoop.

You know what i dont actually know, my dad sorted it out, im sure the guy gave us some MOT certificates but i think my dad lost them, he just wont admit it! lol

haha now you've said that i bet it fucks up. Nice one dude, when you getting that? can finally get rid of your westy interior. :clapping:

Tomorrow night. I've took my rear bench out today and i love it, proper tempted to just get two buckets and strip it. But i can't afford it lol. And this interior is a bargain. Can't refuse it at the price, so you'll be seein my thread updated possibly tomorrow night with it fitted ;)

[saxomark]

Nice update Wallsy, Same dials as me :P, They look really good mate !, find them hard to wire in ?, the centre console and side vents/dial surrond, looks much more subtle and better now in the grey!

Edit: your car is on 25k !, Wow really low mate...

Mark

[skippi90]

Love those dials.

Just wouldn't feel confident fitting them myself though. :(

[Craig_6]

[S1AN3Y]

[wallsy]

Cheers bud. :y:

Exhaust is all from Kam racing, and the dials were from www.visual-performance.co.uk :y:

Dials weren't that hard to fit tbh, have to remove the steering wheel but theres a step to step guide on the forum. Then just place the new dials over the exsiting ones, then just wire them up mate.
