Looking good, id remove the back seats though since you have a cage, buckets and harnesses

JamesR^m · 22nd December 2008, 13:14

its only a show cage though soo, looking into a full cage soon though. and am looking into getting it lowered aswell.

Looks alright.. Should take rear seats out though, it doesn't look right with the harnesses going through them. Either have no seats or no harness if you want it to look good

Get rid of fuel cap too

Other than that, looks nice. Keep it up.

the fuel cap came with the car, i quite like it, am gonna take out the rear seats as soon as i get a full cage, it will look more stupid with a show cage, which isnt attached to anything really, al give it a go and see what it looks like though. but i use the boot for work though, i could take the bottom part of the seat off but i would need the back bit, its hard trying to get it practical and looking good.

Nice looking car with a good set of mods,correct me if i`m wrong but thats a gold top engine mk2 vtr so should be 98bhp.The only thing i`d say is loose that petrol cap spoils the car or spray it same colour as the car.

anyone got suggestions what i can do next? am gonna get upper and lower strut braces, and is there much point in getting a manifold when i have only a backbox?

Car looks great bud! Love the show cage

dobbo_1 · 29th December 2008, 16:56

lower it man befor you start stripping, also the bucket seats dont look like track ones and would look wrong with a full cage get fixed buckets if you want to go all out the strip

edit- any why have you got vts badges?

JamesR^m · 5th January 2009, 10:22

Thanks for the comments guys

Looks good. Just remove the vts badges, and slam it!

JamesR^m · 5th January 2009, 10:32

am looking into getting it lowered now, found a place called ABP motorsport in chester.
hers the link, says torsion bar lowering from £100, is that a good price? id pay up to maybe £150 at the most.

just worried about if its siezed or if it goes wrong.

At the end of the day buckets are buckets, they still hold me in better than standard ones.

fair enuff man dont think the two go together i used to have buckets in mine but sold them as they were horrible after a couple of hours driving amazing when down the twistys tho

JamesR^m · 18th January 2009, 13:20

i was looking at the buckets that you posted above, they looked good but they where a bit pricey for my budget.

Dark_Hero · 28th January 2009, 19:13

I think the car's looking great :-)
keep it up

JamesR^m · 2nd February 2009, 13:13

got my ported and polished TB by spencer on at the weekend, pics up soon!

luke1988 · 5th February 2009, 19:12

nice car mate, get it lowered next!! also dont bother with the vts badges...

JamesR^m · 6th February 2009, 20:58

As you can see there are some big differences between them. The lip that can be seen on the first one has been ground down, and the spindal? has been cut, and the whole thing polished to a very high standard. Definetly worth the money imo

OLD TB...

NEW TB...
