Quite impressed with the condition, no rust, all nice and straight, great paint work, 67k(ish). All painfully standard

On the look out for a VTR 4-2-1, stainless system with a subtle...ish back box and some 50mm springs...Can't see the for sale section yet

so any info would be great please :)

[vtr-marc]

Nice motor bud, but Christ that looks high up there! Gonna need a can of oxygen while driving ;)

VT?
badge....also did the fogs yellow with some glass paint I had lying around, not anywhere near as good as the Lamex film!

[wobby82]

Nice car mate but in my opinion the vt? Badge looks chavy and tacky, but that's my opinion , however mate nice work so far and keep the pics comeing. Good job

[Xplodee]

Car looks good, VT badges could probably do with changing. Will look good lowered.

[frenchcarparts]

Lowering is the next job!... I'm trying to be cheap and find some low price 50mm springs and having no luck at the moment!

Coming :homme:

[AlexB]

fella
pop a back wheel off and have a look for me as your car looks similar to one i saw a while back that i lowered
the rear of your car looks excessivly high
the one i saw looked similar and had NO rear anti roll bar fitted i think it was a base model centre with vt hubs chucked on for a bodge repair for a dead beam but very unusual to see anothe similar looking one

if it has no arb can you stand it and with both wheels off measure from the lip of the hub to the arch
it should be around 400mm on a standard beam the one i saw was 430

random i know but it looks really high to me on yours

[frenchcarparts]

I don't THINK it's naturally that high, think its due to the workshop being on a slant and it trying to roll away from the crap handbreak! will check though!

[LSOfreak]

yeah i was thinking the back looked unusually high aswell tbh

looks like prickles lol

[frenchcarparts]

As from today, finally on the road, fully taxed, mot'd, insured :)

Not quite as low as I wanted
4-2-1
scorpion exhaust system....Will never be buying from them again!
suppose to be 50mm on spax with Bilsteins front and rear

Hoping give it a good clean tomorrow and get some proper pictures

[saxokid100]

[W343NNA]
