Right, finally managed to get some half-decent pics!

Having difficulties choosing exhausts atm. Obviously have the Supersprint centre, would like an exhaust that's going to fit onto that.

Options so far:

Supersprint Magnum

Piper 3 inch

Kam Racing s/s

Favouring the Kam Racing one atm - however, considering the larger options as the current 3.5 Magnex looks pretty nice in the Saxo cutout!

Chris_429 · 21st December 2009, 11:41

Right, a few updates.

Fitted new, not warped brakes over the weekend. Also found out the TD's won't fit properly without spigot rings, only from nearly having a wheel fall off. So it's now rolling on my old XSi wheels, which I quite like! Also rocking new plates

Couple of pics from the 106oc meet last night, not sure why the front plate looks wobbly...

Chris_429 · 21st December 2009, 12:48

The other night saw a bit of an issue arrise when the passenger front arch liner (only one I was running) decided to pop out and catch on the front arch and skirt, causing them to pop out too.

Will add pics of this once my mate sends them over, looked a bit of a sorry state!

This meant I set about fixing it back on yesterday - with the loan of a few clips from the flatarch lol. It's now all fitted much better, and as a plus, I've found out that this has got mega rolled arches on it, which will prove good for any extra lowness that will occur! Needs a new sideskirt though, as it's cracked (was before the incident), so I'll sort that sometime soon - spot the elctrical tape for now though lol!

Also, as it's coming up to January, which means we're right in the middle of winter - I thought I'd de-wiper.

Proper bung aswell!

Love the color! The yellow and black are a great match.

I had never seen this color before on a VTR until yesterday when I saw one for sale and now I see yours is the same color!
In Holland only flatarches have this color, all the VTR/VTS with this color are imported.

joey_harrison · 29th December 2009, 10:40

i love the look and colour of your car man, jealous.

also, how much did the leather seats set you back?

Joe.

Cheers mate! They are supposed to be fairly rare, however since I bought mine there's been absolutely loads about! lol

Pro Races are on my old flat arch atm, and as soon as I've got some steels for that, they're for sale. Basically, they need spigot rings, and I can't be arsed to get any made up, and I think I actually prefer the XSi wheels - it's a bit more in keeping with the theme I'm going to be going for.

Thanks mate, exhaust looks completely different since adding those mounts! After a new system now though, I'm thinking about getting my 106 Supersprint hangers modified for it to sit right, but then I'm tempted by something like the Piper 3inch.

Azza-VTR · 29th December 2009, 18:33

Holly Shit!
I thought it was you Chris - use to talf to you all the time on the 106oc as Azza-106 used to have the 5 door 1.1 with racing stripes
Last time I saw your project on 106oc you had droped a 16v in the baby - what happened to it?
I knew you would copy me and buy a VTR

I have a progress blog on a Black VTR with White Team Dynamic 1.2's - have a check mate

Chris_429 · 29th December 2009, 18:49

Alright dude, just dropped you a PM. Basically explains what happened with the flatarch lol, it's mostly on the progress blog on 106oc anyway.

Will have a look for your blog now

Daveydinho6 · 29th December 2009, 19:05

nice car mate

i had a yellow one. such a nice colour
Just deck it and your on to a winner imo

Chris_429 · 29th December 2009, 19:07

That's the main plan, but with a few little touches, it should be pretty eye-catching by FCS
