Track influenced iTb Rallye *NEW PARTS*

[Matt.S2]

Hi there, this is my first post/thread so things are sure to go wrong lol. After crashing my clio and not driving for 4 months i thought it was time to buy myself something quicker and a lot more appealing. I picked up a Silver VTR MK2, it has done 90,000 which is kind a lot tbh, but it runs perfect!

I do have a few little mods i want to do, but everythings on hold till summer and my holidays have been paid for. I will be getting an aftermarket exhaust system including manifold, maybe 106 GTI interior, a toad alarm, and just some other bits and pieces inside.

Looks good mate, what wheels are they? Look like OZ super t's

[Matt.S2]

Cheers mate, yeahh they're OZ, came with the car, and in perfect condition.

[benwh555]

they look really good, maybe standard fuel cap, de-wiper and smoke the front headlights

[Matt.S2]

definetly all three of them, de-wiper from what ive read on here can be a little tricky so i need to find out the best way, cheers for feedback though!!!

[benwh555]

De-wiper is easy, if it dont pull off, then get the saw out. Simple

[Matt.S2]

ahh right, wiked! cheers mate

[markvts]

nice looking motor mate

[sufc_paul]

that looks really low, them alloys are lush

[Matt.S2]

cheers boys, yeahh it is really low, the bloke i got it off told me it was lowered 60mm at the back but it only needs 2 people in the car and when you go over a bum it sounds like it cathces, handles so nice though!

[Matt.S2]

Nothing big but went for my MOT saturday to only find it failed on suspension. The bloke i bought it off told me it was lowered correctly and everything but obviously it wasnt causing me to fork out for a new rear beam. So being sorted asap. I think i might raise it up to 40 all round maybe, what do you all think, as i love the height?

[mickymoe]

very nice car indeed well if you are keeping them wheels 40mm wouldnt look too bad, and it apprently handles better at 40mm all round

[katie_02furio]

Looks a very tidy car! keep the mods subtle, dewiper, t-cut badges, smoked lights maybe.....

[Matt.S2]

thankss, well the wipers being removed the weekend, badges aready done and the lights will be done asap, mot has set me back

[ljbcaveman]

looks nice and tidy mate. shame about the MOT though.

[Matt.S2]

As its been nice weather all day, went outside to do little bits and bobs to the car as its just passed its MOT. Rear beam was so dangerous so luckily it was noticed now rather than later! Ive smoked my lights and dewipered. Didnt take many photos as she needs a clean the dirty b*tch lol heres the pics:

[Matt.S2]

After a few weeks of mot problems with suspension etc, I had to go back to standard height, now I hate this so much! But I will be buying coilovers as soon as I have the money. I cleaned it today and thought i would take a few photos of her while she is clean. I think when I do have her lowered she will be going down about 35mm maybe 40mm. What do you people think? Thanks!

[mickymoe]

looks well! silver and black theme

[landerboi13]

car's looking good mate. will look ten times better re-lowered though

[Matt.S2]

A photo I took which was edited and now looks a lot better!
