Hey guys small update, went to collect a new supersprint backbox on sat night off fish6634 (great chap) , I couldn't wait to see what it sounded like so I pulled over at a services, put the car up on a curb, and changed it there and then  sounds amazing, not a loud as my old piper, but that will change when I get a new manifold, here is a pic I've just taken of it on the car, looks nice and I no longer get the drone noise on the motorway wich is goood
What do you think? All coment welcome

Haha its only a single fan at the moment however I went to a local scrappy today and picked up a new set of vts interior, to replace mine as they have a few ciggy burns from the mrs  but all sorted now, also got hold of a second fan and motor to go on, I just need to find a way to wire it into the original fan setup

UPDATE....
Hey guys and girls, the last couple of months have been eventfull, to start with I devolped a missfire around september time, so I gave the car a service ( oil, oil filter, sparks and fuel filter) to try and stop the missfire, although it did help there was still a slight missfire, shortly after my drivers side engine mount gave way, so I went for a look through a local scrappy and came accross a black MK2 3 plug vts with 64k on, so I took the engine mount and also the coilpack, fitted these and everything was then fine and the missfire had gone  happy days, untill about a week or 2 later, I was just popping out with a couple of friends when all of a sudden the engine became really loud and was banging and knocking, turned the car off as soon possible and then got on the phone to dan_sport on here, who came to tow me home, a few days later I got the car recovered and taken to my work where we then found the loud bangs and knocks were from the timing belt as it had slipped 2 teeth, not good, anyway we re-timed the car and it fired, and ran very lumpy, so took it for a spin and it started to improve more and more, so I was lucky that I had a 'useable' car for now, a few days later I went back to the local scrappy and purchased the engine and gearbox from the black VTS (reason being we thought a few valves were bent) anyway the next thing to happen is that my windscreen cracked, so back to the scrapyard for a windscreen, about a week later I got a new headgasket kit and timing belt and changed the head ever since ithe car has beeen 100% fine, now back to the mods, had my vts wheels resprayed again in yellow along with my rocker covers, put these on and niticed the front pads were low so new pads have just been fitted, shortly after 1 rear pad fell out as the securing clip had gone, so new securing clips and new set or rear pads, another problem sorted. The next step was to start modding again, first on the list was a manifold which I got off another saxp member, its a piper 4-1 manifold and also came with heatwrap  I've put some new tinted headlight glass on, new set of wind deflectors and HIDs, a shortshift and the blue led dials aswell, SORRY for the essay lol, ill put pictures up shortly

Would never have guessed it had such a eventful past, especially when it went flying past me on the M54 on Sunday night!
If its the one I'm thinking of, had a private plate on very similar to yours?

not really alot has happened since new year, de-smoked the headlights, added some light tinted windows (lost sax-p stickers in the process  ) a new air filter/induction kit is one thing i need to sort, spraying both fans on the twin fan setup and i have resprayed the supersprint backbox and gave it a good clean, this is how it stands at present
