My Throttle Bodied VTS *23/09/09 *Pics and Video of Engine Added*
After selling R7VTS back in december and buying a Hyundai Coupe,which was costly to run and boring to drive, I have decided to return to the world of Saxo's.
After searching for what seemed like a very long week I found my new beast which I collected on Sunday.
The spec so far is:
Engine:
Jenvey Throttle Bodies
QEP port & polished head
708 catcams
Raceland 4 branch (wrapped)
Magnex single silencer & de-cat
Mocal oil cooler
KMS ecu with wideband controller
KMS lambda display
Nissens Alloy Radiator
Adjustable FPR
Suspension:
Bilstien group n shocks
Gmc Springs
Powerflex anti-roll bar bushes
Powerflex Wishbone Bushes
Sparco Upper strut brace
Brakes:
GTI-6 front Calipers(283mm)
Black Diamond Drilled Disks
Mintex Pads
Goodridge Braided hoses
Interior:
Corbeau Targa Bucket Seats
Sabelt Harness'
Carbon Fibre Door Cards
Flocked 106 Handles and Doorbins
Carbon Fibre Bungs and Fuel Pump covers
Exterior
Ultra Smoked Rear Lights
Angel Eye Headlights
Bonnet Raisers
Pictures from today after a quick wash and to nice location for some photos.

Just the way I like it,externally nothing will change at all,except I will respray the rear badges silver as they are a bit dull. Everything will go on making it quicker and handle better. So bodies etc are planned.

Cheers, no the inside wont be staying the same, I need to sort the odd seats out and it will probably lose the rear seats to a cage. But I havent really decided with the interior.

Its running KMS. The BHP varies between rolling road, when the cams were put in and the KMS mapped it made 156BHP at the fly. I would have thought it would be slightly higher now as things bed in.

Awesome spec mate fair play. Not really feeling the angels Id change them for smoked stds or normal stds as they look a bit chavvy in my opinion. Looks great other than that

I was unsure about the front lights too but they have grown on me.I don't drive around with the angel eyes on so I don't think there that chavvy.
