[Dasher_VTR]

After been on here a year i've finally making a progress thread.

In january 2007 i bought this after trailing round kent looking at various saxo's. i paid £2900 for it and it had 58'000 miles and a new mot and 6 months tax.

and recently have had the alloy wheels painted black.

Plans sound good mate, get it lowered 1st thing lol

[Ryyy]

Verrry Nice!
Not sure 'bout the Rims but they definatley look better in black imo!

[haroldno1]

[edwardsvtr]

about £800 all together but i managed to get them second hand the remap was most expensive.

[Marshy]

The black wheels are a big improvement, car looks good mate. Will look ace when lowered

[phillyc]

looking good, only thing I would take off is the vtr badge on the front grill but thats only my personal opinion others may disagree.
wot cams u got coz im getting new wheels then its getting camed and thats good rr figure u got.
just curious have you ever raced a vts coz always wondered how a 120 bhp vtr would do against a vts

[Mikey]

only ever had a burn up with a vts on private land at top end and it's dead level above 70bhp i went with him to 90mph but i don't like going above 80mph really just seems pointless. don't really know about comparision 0-60 it feel very quick though. i'm running piper 285's with a skimmed head(i have no proof of the head being skimmed that's wat i was told). its very free revving and goes mental went it hits 3,500rpm.

[Ben]

Deffffooooo needs lowerin! Standard petrol cap is a must too :) Debadged, de wipered? Smoked headlights/fogs?

[Dasher_VTR]

i've never like the standard fuel cap tbh, but i'm in the doing the the other stuff i might t cut the badges.
