littleracer's progress thread
oh haiii
ok so my car is a black saxo vtr. The car is being built as a track car,as thats what i want to do.it has also got to be road legal. I know theres a compromise,but it will still be fastish.
bought my car about 5 months ago.
had about 60,000 miles.FSH.totally standard.
as soon as i got it gave it full service.
stuff i done so far to car;
group N engine mounts
raceland induction with green filter
miltek mani with sports cat
heat wrapped mani/cat
magnex cat back zorst
quickshift thingy
de-wipered back
also made a switch so i can turn the rad fan on/off when i want,it still kicks in on its own accord to,just to keep it cool when sitting in traffic,hehe.
omp buckets/harnesses
cage next then...
suspension is going to be aimed at after above with:
billie group n tarmac shocks all round
custom front springs
solid suspension bushes all round
22mm rear tosion bars
25mm rear anti-roll bar
lowered about 30mm.
brakes will be high spec 4 pot calipers, 285mm discs with brake bias valve.
engine wise i got a few idea's,none set in stone as yet,but that probably won't get underway until everything else done.sorry for any spelling mistakes.
its a bit dirty as i havent got round to cleaning it yet.
enjoy
