Have already been doing lots of reading, asking questions and trying to help peeps already, but today I started working on the car so thought I'd start a progress thread which I can update as and when I finish things, hopefully with a few pictures which can act as a guide for anyone doing the same as me!
Bought a couple of weeks ago, took me a while to find as I wanted a clean and tidy mk1 VTS, don't like the front end of the mk2s at all. Had a 106 gti a few years ago so I knew what I was looking for, and found this one a 1999 T plate with 89k for a good price

It already has fitted:
Black Team Dynamics Pro Race 2 wheels with Toyo Proxes T1R tyres and Wolfrace 20mm spacers.
Lowered 60mm on Gmax springs and shocks front and rear.
Full Magnex stainless steel exhaust, with stainless decat, centre silencer and 3 inch backbox.
K&N panel filter, pioneer speakers, few other bits and bobs.
Plans are as well as it being my daily car to get it on a few track days, so I've got the following planned for it:
New pads and drilled and grooved discs all round, upgrading the front to Brembo four pots with 306 gti discs and MC.
Bin the Wolfrace spacers for proper hubcentric ones.
Decent quality enclosed induction kit, 4-2-1 exhaust manifold, ph3/708 cams and a proper rolling road remap.
Hoping when I've finished it'll be a punchy road and track weapon with 150ish bhp that I can still use every day. I'll see how I get on with the Gmax suspension, and I can't decide if I should raise the rear slightly or not, but time will tell.
I also want to replace all the gear selection bits, I know I want a quickshift and the three selector rods from Kam racing, but I haven't been able to find anywhere selling the main long selector rod and the bell crank arm new as these are worn on mine, guessing they'll be a Citroen main dealer job!
Also when I get and fit a manifold I'm going to try refitting the backbox so the exhaust tip doesn't stick out quite so far, its a sleeve and clamp fitting thats just not been slid on quite far enough so i reckon if it goes in another couple of inches it'll look a lot better.
Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Silver VTS Road/Track, Brembos & Raceland on!
