stu-n-shell 10th October 2009 23:36

as for cams and things mate i think alot of people use ph3's. dampers im using apex sport ones from kam racing and they are a good price and keep the ride stiff but not uncomfy

saxokid100 10th October 2009 23:37

very nice vts you have!!!

Chico999 11th October 2009 05:34

Re: Wicked red VTS - Chico999 - Need advice on cams & dampers
 
Thanks :y:

Newmans PH3's? Do these give power to the midrange?
What sorta prices am i looking at for cams and remap?

Could i fit cams myself?
Is it just a case of taking the rocker cover off, and switching?
Do i need an uprated pully or anything like that?

Re: Wicked red VTS - Chico999 - Need advice on cams & dampers
 
So i could have cams without a remap?

Engine Bay Pics





Need to source a coil pack cover

Thinking about painting my rockers red.........

tipvts 13th October 2009 02:34

i would get the rocker covers polished and get a red coil cover that me....but red rockers would look cool best of luck with it;)

Chico999 28th October 2009 17:13

I bought www.saxperience.com stickers thinking it was a pair :panic::oops:
Decided to stick them on without the www..com parts, i think it looks good :y:





Got my car lowered 55mm at the front today, the torsions are getting done tomorrow to match





What yous think?

Chico999 28th October 2009 20:08

How much would it cost to get someone to spray a bonnet and a rear bumper colour coded wicked red?

raunchz 28th October 2009 20:12

I can imagine a couple of hundred pounds with prep work and little dents/dings smoothed out

White-VTR 28th October 2009 20:15

looks good mate :)

Cheers buddy :y:

Thought i'd be a wee bit different :cool:

Chico999 29th October 2009 14:58

Was meant to be getting the back lowered today, but the guy im getting to do it wont do it because i have a worn bearing!

He says that lowering it will adjust the camber causing more stress on the bearing

Im pretty sure its impossible to adjust the camber on an axel unless you hit it with a hammer or something!

Achwell ill just do it myself tomorrow :y:

Getting bilstein B8's for the rear too :y:

Kev_Vtec 30th October 2009 00:12

johnnyg_vts 30th October 2009 00:22

SaxoIOW 30th October 2009 00:55
