Default VTS track car project.

Hello all,
I'm new to the forum so I thought I'd start off by introducing myself and my Posi blue VTS 98 track toy (Cheryl).
She came to me stripped out, the previous owner had put a lot of time and effort into her. I've since done a lot of work on her. It looked briefly like Cheryl was going to stripped of her goodies and dismantled
Luckily enough I got to her in time. We did the deal and she has been just as much trouble as she has been fun ever since !

After having a few fun days with her and getting her through her the MOT, it soon became apparent that if I wanted to thrash her all day long at the track and still drive home in the evening then I would need to start investing my time and money into her.

With the head off I'm currently in the process of fitting a genuine head gasket,new big end bearings, new piston rings and honing the cylinders.. I will shortly be sorting the underfloor rusted stiffeners out with new oe panels and fitting a mocal oil cooler and baffled sump.

The spec list up to date is;


grooved, zinc coated discs front & back.
Copper brake pipes run inside cab to braided flexis all round
Wilwood brake bias valve
Abs & rear compensator removed
Koni adjustable dampers front & back
Koni lowering springs up front, rear torsion bar lowered to suit
Front omp strut brace
4-2-1 stainless heatwrapped manifold
Custom made stainless centre section
Custom made stainless back box
Green cotton air filter
6 point omp bolt in roll cage
Corbeau forza bucket seats
Sabelt harness
Quick shift gear lever
OMP steering wheel
All electric windows, power steering, airbags, interior lights & associated wiring removed.
Trs tow strap
Sunroof, fog lights, rear wiper removed
Speedline comp 2's






Here are a few pics from her mot day after a bit of fettling,

I don't have the edit function so I will try again. Sorry for the duplicated images I don't seem to be able to remove.
