Davew's New White Vts. Lol Clutch + Brands = Fail

[davew]

Holla.

right after the death of the black MK2 i was dead set on getting something different, and something with a blue oval on the front and a whale tail on the back.

Somehow though i ended up missing the old girl and buying another one, although after coming from the black mk2 which was in tip top condition ive pretty much ended up buying a dog LOL........


anyways i got it for shit all and most of the bits it needed i had on the other one anyways so it didnt really matter.

This is what it looked like when i bought it....

Now this part made my day...(note the exhaust)

http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/366/whites5hv8.jpg (http://img16.imageshack.us/my.php?image=whites5hv8.jpg)

yes, yes that is held up with some cable... Truth be told the whole lot fell off on the epic 200 mile trip home with it. On the M40 to be precise.


anyways nipped round Karls and gave her a clean, to produce this...

http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/5630/whites2ze8.jpg (http://img13.imageshack.us/my.php?image=whites2ze8.jpg)

Then a few things need to be swapped about, get rid of the fooking standard exhaust system to a piper being one of them, bring on the raping of the black car...

So heres a list of the things ive done so far


- Piper exhaust system is on
- Vts wheels are back on in 4 brand new T1-R's
- Gti-6 brakes are on
- new clutch
- new suspension top mount
- new droplink
- cleaned it
- got pissed of with the squeaky shit piece elton john interior
- Fitted bmc


and think that about it for now

shit loads more to come just need to get round to sorting stuff out.

Also last weekend she hit brands, observe....

And thats the story so far....

[Karl]

White S FTW!


Needs lowering and S wheels...x

When the new gearbox goes in and everythings up and working, she'll be a monster.

[davew]

i know the towing eye is hanging out before thats mentioned lol.

[Vin-NorthEast]

Looks nice :y: i would love a white vts

[VTRelite]

can i ask why the towing eye is hanging out lol?

[TU-Tuning]

Was gonna say, that towing eye isnt towin anything haha. But the car looks awesome mate, few simple changes but theyve made a massive difference. With the current crash in saxo prices, surely the VTS' are gonna become classics within the next few years. And white ones will be very hard to come by so its a good buy I reckon

[davew]

Looks nice :y: i would love a white vts


cheers mate

can i ask why the towing eye is hanging out lol?


well i screwed in it quickly but didnt thread so half way around the track it fell out an tetered in the bumper for the rest of the sesion lol

yeah i always wanted a white mk1 when i had a black mk2

very nice. does it go well?

yeah suprisingly well actually, a mate has a cammed vts with 153 bhp and it stays level with it. So yeah very impressed, its not as quick as the other one i had but still seems to pull like a train.

needs to get my 708's in it and get it mapped

[ricksimmonds]

very nice mate, love white mk1s

[charlie106]

Track ftw, jump on the bandwagon fappy.





have also just looked at the car and realised what the transmission problem is.

Ive annialated a brand new clutch in a week, Awesome :n:

[Ferg]

GTF Track ... I'd rather walk.

[Karl]

[leeroybrown]

Seems to be popular with track slag look with you Southern fairy's :}

Ferg must be the only one with sense }

[Ferg]

True story Leeroy ... It must be something in the water in Ashford.

[Peejous]

Towing I iz hanging out bruv.

MeoW

[Karl]

If you didnt have to drive it (like me + Dave) you'd be the same as us Ferg.

[Ferg]

TBF you are right Karl ... If I didn't have to drive to uni it would be Buckets, Harnesses, Cage etc.

[leeroybrown]

Ohhh No....The rattles!

[Karl]

More rattles with interior in I find.

[JoshB]

Mine rattles like a baby on speed, all sorts is knocking on the undercarriage, i think it needs to go in the skip.

Makes me wish i'd held out for a white one now, looks spot on mate. Anthracite wheels will look best!!

[davew]
