Iv owned my vts for nearly 2 years so is about time i started one of these progress threads

Taken the fusion sticker of rear bumper

put sum saxperience stickers on rear windows



Also fitted a sporttex rearbox as you could hear the baffles in the old one its 4 inch rolled tip

looking good mate, you not worried about having drilled and grooved disks?

No mate why should i worry thay seam to be good got a bit better brake pedal as well

using drilled a grooved brakes on a dailys not always best way forward, actuali its not at all. they wont get hot enough to work proply so may glaze up, you would be alot better fitting some 266mm brakes with some good pads and disks, just vented disks not drilled grooved, think you will see alot better improvment, all imo like.

Cheers mate did not know that will keep my eye on them but so far thay seam good
