Greenman's Mk2 black VTS ****Possibly For Sale****
I picked this baby up a couple of weeks ago, It's my first sax and I have to say I'm fairly pleased. 1 previous owner from new and a full dealer history 
At the moment the car is pretty much standard but I have plans for some subtle mods over the coming months. These include lowering 40mm all around, a nice exhaust (supersprint) smoked headlights (possible angel eyes but unsure)
Money spent so far has been on car cleaning equipment, probably around £200 so far! And sorting out the hydrolic lifters which were noisy.
I'm going to re-furb the wheels, although really tidy I'm after an anthricite look.
Any comments welcome!

Ok little update. After much hunting around I finally went with an exhaust. And probably against some people on here, I went with a powerflow Firstly because I knew the garage second because they had done my cars in the past and thirdly it was fully customisable, I didn't want some stupid Jap looking box and I didn't want a straight cut I wanted a slash to match the bumper lines.
I Must say I'm 100% happy, it sounds & looks amazing and I have noticed the car pulls better in higher revs.
Will get some photos up but here's a youtube link for now

Let me know what you think.

These arrived today, Will try and get them fitted this weekend. Hopefully torsion bar won't be a pain.
Also this arrived also, thanks mr.willy for sorting it. Got on with no problems, only took about ten mins.

Right the latest is that I blew my engine up  But on the plus side I managed to find a rear ended vts with 51K on the clock, So I handed over £250 notes for the new engine and went about stripping my old one out installing the new. Whilst I was about it I cleaned the bay out and resprayed any previous marks/damage and repaired a couple of rust spots that I found under the ecu tray.
The swap went without a hitch and took me two days to complete, I had a little problem firing it but was just the inertia switch sticking.
I have just ordered up a omp strut brace and am in the process of polishing up the old rocker covers 
Also ordered a lovely set of spoox red silicone hoses which will be fitted once they arrive.
Enjoy the engine removal pics. I also did take photos along the way to create a guide on removing and fitting an engine, plus how to strip a gearbox. Hopefully when I get some time will get this up

Have no idea really. I don't drive that hard but it just went after a drive, thankfully outside my house. Sounded like I chucked a bag of nails in the engine and then it just died, wouldn't start and the engine management light came on 
Thought it was easier, less hassle and less money to just find a good engine and swap it over lol.
