Yeah was on ebay picked it up from gedling last night got home with about 10pm its deffo the 1.4 and says vts on loggy like... is it a 1.4 16v? as it says 120bhp?:wacko: just wana get my facts straight for when people ask aha! oh well i love it :)

Apart from the spec confusion ... the car looks real nice :)

nice sax!

they have the 1.4 vts all over europe iirc!!
i always see them when im in Spain.

its not 120bhp though.

Thanks mate! can only get better now.. yeah im trying to get my head round it as previous owner didnt seem all that sure himself either....:y:

Very nice so just to clarify something then how does that workout with the insurance groups then?Is it insured as a vts or a 1.4? because if its insured as a vts then why not drop a vts engine into it.

Steve.

Cheers mate.. as said will look better and cleaner once ive free'd up some time to do so.. right at least i know there is such thing as a 1.4 vts and this is one aha.. i take it's a 16v engine obv a 1.4...?:y:

Hi steve not yet insured my self yet sorting it tomorrow as they wasnt open today i asked the same to the previous owner and he said swintons insured it as a furio ( think thats how you spell it) ?? bit confused on the matter.. but ill clarify it tomorrow when i insure it :y:

An actual VTS is 1.6 16v and your VTS is a 1.4 8v :y:

no its only an 8v not 16v..

youve got 75bhp

Sweet glad thats sorted now :fcuk:... i had a debate with the previous owner as i was sure there wasnt such thing as a 1.4 vts.. which led me to believe it was a furio with vts goodies ( a rep ) but shown me the log book and soon shut me up aha

Thanks mate! surprised really because it moves well... :y:

Fuk sake thats 2 now I'm getting my old username back

You have an actual VTS so feel privileged ;) lol

haha i laughed

Hi Danny,

I used to own the car (had it from march 2009 to august 2010) check out my old progress thread, its in my signature box below :)

Background info for you:
Its a 1.4 vts (import from ireland)
I had the rear axle changed in march 2010 as it was knackered
Head gasket was done at 95k if I remember right? Sticker should still be on the engine.
I sprayed the wheels myself hence why they aint 100 percent good. Just check my old progress thread as I spent a lot of time modding and keeping this car clean.
I have some photoshoot photos on that thread too.

If you want any more info about work done drop me a pm kept all the reciepts :) it had 3 services whilst I owned it :)

Paul

Your old motor paul:p stil looks good........

Does look really nice in yellow

Who cares about what it is, he likes the car end of.

I do like it though mate! Looks amazing!

Thanks for that paul greatly appreciated!.. the sticker is still on the engine which pushed me to buy it also its done 106,000 now wheels are getting sorted once its insured having a spot of bothered as there telling me its the 1.6 vts on there system so ive had had to take a picture of the v5 and send it too them.. did you have any of this bother? im with swintons just awaiting a phone call back...
ive got quite a few receipts but not a great load previous owner did say hes got them and will send them once he's found them..
apprently just moved?..
my plans are too keep it immactulate as it is and well serviced and maintained.. and get the wheels done properly..
m.o.t is due march so want to give it a good service and fine comb through to ensure everything is as it should be...
with out being a pain can you remember when it was last serviced?
the previous owner reckons it was done recently but ive gone out brought a oil filter just need to pop to auto factors to get oil and plugs ectect..
also if you can remember what oil has it been run on?
sorry to be a pain just want to keep it in good nick many thanks Danny.
