My Euro White VTS, formally on Borbet As *new rims ordered!
 

Brief car history and my current project, this is a few post of another site rolled into one so its abit long!

i'll start with my 1st car:
me and a mate spent many many nights doing this lol
was fixed on gettin some dishes for it but never did lol then after a slight mishap i decided to go white, went terribly wrong as i rushed it, took 4 months for my borbets to get here, by then the car had heart failure!
sold all the bits and scrapped shell.





then i moved onto this:
bought as a chaved up wreck and spent a few weeks fettling it into what you see below. too limited to what i can do with it really as i dont wanna take away the whole 'rallye' feel, so its gotta go as i wanna get back on the euro wagon.



now i have this, saxo vts running 160, and i have a set of R1 tb's in the house to be fitted :)
currently i have wheels, mirrors and spoiler painted red and fancyed a rat bonnet, but out of daftness i fitted the borbets (with massive tyres) and now they are staying, im happy as long as the shell is how i want it a can chop and change panels/ bumpers as i progress with the project :) im going for a black, red and white theme, the same with the wheels as they have been neglected over time so polishing the outter lip would be spoilt by marks.

1.6 16v
Newman Ph3 cams
chipped and remapped
heatwrapped raceland 4-2-1 mani
supersprint exhaust (de-cat)
raceland enclosed induction kit (to be fitted)
yamaha r1 throttle bodies (to be fitted)
i need to get some sort of management too
is running 160.9bhp which i have on paper too, nice bonus :)
