18/01/09

the saxo was RR'd today :y:




136.9hp at the fly, which is clearly rubbish... but pay close attention to the wheel power... 98.9 hp, which is about right for a good running standard VTS :)

Magnex BB... I can assure you it is a Magnex backbox in the pic lol. Lee has kindly offered to give me his Magnex centre section too... woooo

25/01/09

Lee_VTR1 very kindly gave me his Magnex centre section so I took a quick trip to Nuneaton to catch up with Alex, Lee, Willsy and Aaron to get the Centre Section and Back box fitted

Whilst I was there Alex sold me his Powerflex lower engine mount... so so so much better than standard it rocks.

Pics when it's light (wednesday)

05/02/09

New grille from a Desire... woooo


Also my powdercoated VTS rims came back last week... these are Yates' (also done at the same time) but they're in the same colour to give you an idea!

Car feels slightly slower(?) and a tad noiser :err:

21/03/09

Track Pics - From Brands

25/04/09

Austec Rolling Roaded (again)
137.3hp

So theoretical fly power has remained the same, still wrong imo. But wheel power has risen to 104.1... so around 5 hp increase. I presume manifold contributed more to that than backbox. But all in all, good stuff!

Old injectors, sent to injectortune...


This is how they came back... Amazing.

Few notes chucked at the suspension and the wheel colour and she'll be lovely.

Is this the one from around here mate?

can see why you wanted to have your standard s rims now dude!

Doesnt appear to have been gayed up to badly. I mean its not on its arse because some tool had it before.

think suspension will remain standard tbh dude. handles pretty nicely at the moment :) wheels do need a change I feel though

yeah boi.

It's got morettes on the front... which I didn't like but they're starting to grow on me massively:)

The lad who owned it is a good lad. Bought my old vtrrrr alloys off me.

Have you got it in Guildford? Wouldn't mind coming and smashing it up a bit. We can also cuddle if you want? Maybe spoon a little?

morrettes are cool dude on the right shell.

Im a fan of them, hence why a few years back was gonna get some carbon ones made for me :(

Mark is a top lad, I wish him well.

yes to all three... get your pie ass down it's over in hazel farm at the moment (know the place?)

Not a clue buddy... up Onslow Way?

What are you doing this evening? I could come sex after work?

GF's birthday mate... no can do.

Hazel farm is up Hamilton Drive/Road near Esporta

we could have sexy time tomorrow?

Hamilton Drive? Nocomprende?

GF's birthday? Which lady is this you speak of?

I will see, party tomorrow night in Guildford though. If it's kicking off and there's loads of clunge you can come play.

oregano close... That area that's named after fucking herbs and shit.

Spice city :)

Where abouts? (Sorry for ruining your thread)

tis ok. I'm pm'd ryan asking for you to be banned anyhow.
where abouts? u shitting me right?? I've just told you!!!

No you prick, where abouts in the road? Carpark? Where i met you before?

yeah there abouts... I've detailed the whereabouts of my car to the world now.
