So heres the 2000 reg VTR we bought for £114 off ebay that we plan to turn into a track car.
1st assessments of the car are that it needs a lambda sensor, service and a puncture repair.
The diet has already started, rear seats, door cars, speakers, trim, rear wiper motor, plastics etc all removed (available if anyone needs spares)
Plan is to do a track day at Cadwell in it on Feb 1st to see how it performs in standard form then we are taking our mums to Bedford around mothers day to let them have a rag in it. If it comes back in 1 piece the next step will be a Nurburgring trip, it will be my 4th in 5 years and I'm aiming to beat my 9m 09s I did in 2013 (bmw 125i).
We've drawn up a shopping list for things we'd like to do to the car so if anyone has parts available send me a pm. Only thing we've bought for it so far are a shift light lol.
On the list are
406 brakes
decat exhaust that will meet noise regs (100db)
Induction kit
Upper/lower strut braces
short shifter and linkages
Lowered suspension, front and rear, no more than 30-40mm
poly bushes
15" wheels/tyres or is it better to stick to 14's?
anything else you think might be of use.
I'll update with more pics once we finish the diet/stripout.
