barry123's VTS - Lightweight flywheel & quaife 21/04/12 #1035
The VTS of barry123.
From this....
to this:
Timeline:
Previous owner's (Mark) arty shot...
 22/11/08Bought car
28/11/081st Picture of my ownership (courtesy of my girlfriend):
06/12/08Home in Northallerton:
1st mod(?)
Just put my trusty MD headunit back in 
Mothersayer sampling the 'S
27/12/08JBL GT5027c components fitted
Pioneer co-axials fitted
28/12/08Complete front light bulb replacement (Super Brilliance H1, Super Brilliance H7, Silvertec 581's and White LED 501's)
03/01/09Apex lowering kit (25mm) arrives
14/01/09Magnex Back Box is coming (courtesy of mr Jaybiss)
My spare VTS wheels are off to be Powder Coated - Silver
18/01/09the saxo was RR'd today 
136.9hp at the fly, which is clearly rubbish... but pay close attention to the wheel power... 98.9 hp, which is about right for a good running standard VTS
Magnex BB... I can assure you it is a Magnex backbox in the pic lol. Lee has kindly offered to give me his Magnex centre section too... woooo
 25/01/09Lee_VTR1 very kindly gave me his Magnex centre section so I took a quick trip to Nuneaton to catch up with Alex, Lee, Willsy and Aaron to get the Centre Section and Back box fitted
Whilst I was there Alex sold me his Powerflex lower engine mount... so so so much better than standard it rocks.
Pics when it's light (wednesday) 05/02/09New grille from a Desire... woooo
Also my powdercoated VTS rims came back last week... these are Yates' (also done at the same time) but they're in the same colour to give you an idea!
10/02/09Raceland Manidfold is coming...
26/02/09Grille fitted!
Before:
After:
Just got the car back from Andy (Luthor1) from Datashift who's developing the 3-plug Predator... My car ran on the Predator!!! 
08/03/09Raceland fitted, and what a fucking ball ache it was too.
Car feels slightly slower(?) and a tad noiser 
might be getting removed if it keeps this up...
21/03/09266mm Calipers arrive (Cheers AlexR) and did a quick pic - mucho thanks to the chineasy security guard who let me bugger around in his company's car park
wooo
and did this a little earlier
04/04/09Quick pic with my pals
06/04/09EZR'd VTS rimz fitted
07/04/09Delivery! Polyrace Front Wishbone Bushes, Polyrace Rear Beam Bushes and 266mm Maxtorq discs!
10/04/09PolyRace Rear Bushes fitted!
16/04/09Lowering springs, dampers, polyrace front bushes & GTI Brakes fitted
yay
21/04/09Track Pics - From Brands
25/04/09Austec Rolling Roaded (again)
137.3hp
So theoretical fly power has remained the same, still wrong imo. But wheel power has risen to 104.1... so around 5 hp increase. I presume manifold contributed more to that than backbox. But all in all, good stuff!

The lad who owned it is a good lad. Bought my old vtrrrr alloys off me.
Have you got it in Guildford? Wouldn't mind coming and smashing it up a bit. We can also cuddle if you want? Maybe spoon a little?
