Firstly lowering, 60 all around, but unsure wether to go 50 ot 60 to be honest. I want to keep the original VTR alloys, give them abit of a refurb and powercoat them white, i know its not to everyones taste but i love the contrast.
I really intend on changing alot, colour code certains parts and smooth the bumpers in. Angel eyes, smoked jewels ( the rear lights, i think thats what they are called)
Induction kit, full exhaust system made up. There is a place near me which does full powerflow systems, so i will probably get one made up there. ( i know people on here don't overally rate them, but was just an idea)
I intend on going all out with this, i am going to fully strip it, buckets, cams, new manifold, throttle bodies eventually.
So much i have in the pipeline, shame i can't do it all at once.

Do you mind me asking, how come you never went for a VTS? Especially with these plans.

Right i did consider the VTS pal....
Its hard to explain, insurance was obvoiusly an issue, i could not get insured on one, without spending alot on a monthly policy. Plus on my pay i would rather like money to do lots of mods to the VTR than just one every month to a VTS for instance.
I think it will become a good and an extremely forfilling challenge to see what i can achieve from the 8v lump.
I will keep you all updated monthly what i get up to.

but insurancing a vtr with those mods will surely cost more than insuring a vts.
