Polar White MK2 VTS. End of page 5, new owner killed it :(
 

Bought for the bargain price of £700.

Needed a clutch and an o/s driveshaft, thank fully I had a Valeo clutch lying around and ordered a new driveshaft got it up and running and I love it!

Its got some niggles that need sorting out but are easy enough.

Been told its been cammed aswell however no proof of this or what cams it has in it, a trip to the RR will be in order.
blah blah blah 80,000miles, 16" TD 1.2's, lowered 60mm, smoked headlights, smooth boot, pooflow exhaust, pro-tech 4-2-1 manifold, gti half leather interior blah blah.

Anyway the pics:















Plans for the future ARE:

1. Sort out electrical niggles.
2. Full service, stop oil leaks.
3. ICE install
4. Trip to RR
5. New air filter
6. New exhaust, Kam Racing Stainless system probably, or Piper 3" backbox.
7. New gearknob
8. Move GTi-6 brakes from boot onto struts.

Hope you like :afro:

very nice, lovely colour, would love a white vts but so rare to find one, even then they all ragged, so a icelandic grey one will have to do :)

good plans too you got there :)

Love it apart from the hidious rear numberplate! Make a 106 style.

got yourself a nice car there mate

thanks man, it came up cheap so i thought why not!

yeah it needs a new plate tbh, picking up a new bumper tomorrow as the exhaust has eaten this one, cant be bothered doing the whole 106 recess so gonna stick one on somewhere with a pair of LED bolts that iv got instead of the awful moulding thats bolted on here

cheeers bro!

Update:

So iv got busy on eBay and in the for sale forums and I have parts coming out of my ears atm.

Parts to be fitted:
Electric wing mirror switch
Genuine VTS Gearknob
90amp Alternator
New Rear Bumper
and Pioneer DEH-7000SD headunit.


Buying new plates soon and im after a Piper 3" outward rolled backbox and Kam Racing Stainless centre pipe.

And on payday (Monday) I shall be starting to collect various Speakers and Amps to get my install going.
Focal 130VB Comps

JBL 752 Amp

JBL GT5-1204BR

And JBL 7001 Amp


Thats all for now. Tatty byes

Spent a good 3 hours cleaning the car today as it was stupeendously dirty. Wash, a going over with AG Super Resin Polish, a sprinkling of olive oil and she is super duper clean again.

Plans for this weekend are to fit 90A alternator, fit standard gear knob, get a heated rear window switch, parcel shelf and any other random bits that are in the scrappys, hopefully find some 13cm door speakers till i can afford the focals up there^

pedo bear has found his way into my boot too, unsure how this has happened the little scamp.

some porn:



oh herro


not so distant future plans:
new rear numberplate
fiddle exhaust
fit new rear bumper

Looks nice pal. Not a fan of the tailgate without the number plate etc but each to their own. Best colour ;)

cheers man! my second in this colour ;)

im still in 2 minds about the bootlid. gonna change the plate first cos that really isnt helping.

this looks better imo

Exhaust Swap.

suppp.

bought a piper system off jonathon5 for a nice price and fitted it yesterday and it sounds awesome.

step 1, rip off old powerflow piece of shite and compare to piper


step 2, examine old exhaust for signs of good workmanship:






none found.

step 3, fit piper system:


great success! 3.5" inward rolled backbox, 2" pipework all the way back to manifold, car is now decatted and sounding larvely.

vv:listen to it:vv

Ignore the smoke, coming off the exhaust paste.

That powerflow looked shocking

Really was, chopped up with angle grinder and binned it, only place worthy of its presence tbh

white is the best colour imo

f**king lol at the pooflow

damn right but it gets dirty so quickly!

lol it was gash!

i would of kept it, some chav on ebay would have bought it tbh

is there a reason why you os headlight is like this, is it loose or is there any damage?

yeah 2 of the lugs have snapped so its shifted a little bit across, only really noticeable cos of the light there ^

thats good news, at least its nothing major. i spotted it as im a sad twat when it comes to cars and like them to be mint :homme:

looks like you got a great deal tbh

same boat here mate!

noticed the little dent on front wing this morning quite annoyed me.

lights will be sorted soon, black angels in a couple of months

NEW CLEAN FOTO

added desire grille, chevrons will be going black

Looks good what a bargain too

looks awesome apart from the boot :n:

looks like my other white vts did at the front!

and has potential to be a good one!

i got my current white mk2 vts at a bargain too! just some idiots still have it in their head, white mk2 vts' are worth more than the rest!

Cheers mate :y:

buying a new plate tomrrow think the square plate makes it look worse than it is, cheers :)

thanks bro, think white mk2's look so awesome when cleaned, shame they get dirty so quick!

NEW SPEAKS.

Comments/Criticism :afro:

Tuesday Mods,

Interesting bits:
Front off


Front On


Back before


Back After


Getting my spare bumper sprayed up soon to replace the current knackered one, also found out that my LED bolts for rear plate lighting are terribly made and the solder has cracked so im re-wiring them at college on thursday and slap them on after college.

Time for a brew.

double post fail

Had a bad day. :n:

Decat made a bid for freedom this morning, flange has snapped off at the mani end when i was doing 70odd on a back road, lots of sparks and lots of noise. got the AA out to get me on my way but he took his sweet fucking time.

gonna take it off tomorrow and get it welded at me dads then fire an email off to Piper with some pics.

It sounds horrendous. :(

nice motor you have got there bit more tlc and will look spot on

Nice car mate, I don't like the boot though :n:

Also, wana sell your grill? :p

Really liking this mate! Not keen on the back, but all round it looks smart!

i really like this mate, back end on the way your car atm is a bit out of place imo.

each and everyone to their own :y:

cheers :) its getting there slowly but surely

Cheers man, the boot is a bit marmite my photos dont do it justice though looks much better in real life.

Hahah, ill sell you one of my standard grilles ;) cant have my desire one though :sweetheart: got it from scrappy for 6 quid, bargain.

cheers broseph, as said its pretty marmite is the rear will get there eventually though.

danke dunno, might stick a 106 recess in my spare bumper make it look a bit more oem :afro:

UPDATE TIME

Right so since last time I have replaced the rear brake pads, discs and n/s caliper since it was seized solid. Lovely brakes now.
