Synopsis

I Bought the vts in jan 2008, off a guy who had been banned for 2 years so sold it cheap! The Car was an X reg - 2000 with just over 64,000 miles on the clock. The car also had a few mods which were, - bmc cda induction kit, viper alarm system, kenwood head unit, and all the car speakers were JBL GTO's. 11 months Mot, 3 Months Tax, Full Service History- £2000 thank you very much.

Buying the car drained most of my funds as i was still in 6th form! and had been fired from my job a week before. - Worked in a pub and got fired for drinking my own booze at the new years eve staff after-party after working till 2am anyway - bit harsh in my opinion. Still, got another job early feb, so i could start the mods.....

For some reason i wanted to do the exhaust first, so i bought a savage backbox, which didnt fit, so sold that straight away - Schoolboy

The cars ariel had also been snapped off, so bought another and had to fit and rewire.

I next sold the door and rear speakers it came with and upgraded to a pair of alpines for the doors and kenwoods for the rears. The sound improvement was very good. I then bought a Sony Bluetooth Headunit, which is great as it connects straight to the mob.

I also bought new number plates as the current ones were mucky and cracked. The new ones were nice and plain, with 'vts' written in smallprint along the bottem.

I wanted it to be quite loud, so i bought a gt3 exhaust system off ebay for £130, which included backbox, centre section and decat and got it all fitted for £35.



Its 4" so bit on the big side but sounds brilliant.

[Roy-VTS]

not to big!!!!! lol looks ok a bit big for my liking, imo spray the grill up and slam it and your on to a winner

[Hopcraft]

cool cool, get it lowered ! will look rather nice !

[olly_vts]

I also upgraded all the car speakers to alpines and bought a sony bluetooth headunit, which is wicked.

The next mods i want to do are

Lowered all round 50mm
15" Lenso BSX's
Tints
De-badged - pretty much going for the euro look.


But as i have a cashflow problem atm i decided to do cheaper mods which include...

respraying and meshing the front grill


colour coding the matt finish plastic on the bumpers and the sides which i havnt finished yet.

lol that was fast i only just posted it!!! looks good mate

[olly_vts]

also need to get that crack on the front splitter sorted out

[olly_vts]

cheers, lowered is the next thing on my list, im still not sure whether to mesh the lower bumper to give it a wide mouth and would match with the grill, would look good, but lot of effort involved.

[saxokid100]

i am not a fan of meshing mate, spray the alloys black with red or yellow lip, lower it and you are onto a real winner mate.

Got back from Owens Garage in Haywards Heath yesterday evening. Its Lowered 40mm at the front, and one spline on the rear torsion bar - All on Spax VSX kit. The Handling is insane.
