chief 0 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Not updated this in a lonnnng time! Quite a bit has changed since the last post....Ran it with the Schmidts for quite a while, managed to smash a sump, had it damaged by Awesome Gti who kindly mangled the sills for me, and the RAC who dented the front wing....so the money I'd put away for mods ended up going toward putting the car straight again.Then I got pulled off the Police for running the Schmidts, they protruded the arches and the police deemed it an unroad-worthy car and threatened to impound and crush it So the wheels went and got a set of narrow BBS RS's to go on....then sold them without them even touching the car!Then the car went into the bodyshop to have the repair work done and a few tweaks....the arches were all repaired and pulled a tiny bit, the rust was taken out of the inner sills and the rear arches, the dent was removed and the sills were repaired and strengthened...the bumper was repaired were I managed to catch it on the way off my drive...and then had the handles CC'd and the Porsche 911 indicators fitted....Then come edition time, finally got some rims to match the bodywork...a set of super rare Gotti 17" Splits in 5x100 pcd with a fully polished mirror face....Then last thursday, with the help of a few mates managed to dump its on its arse and tuck the wheels right up...Fronts been done rather conservatively, the rear settled a LOT lower than anticipated, so the front was done within reason, but theres a lot more space left so this week the fronts being lowered to match.And thats where I'm upto with it now! Plenty more to come now I've decided to keep it. (Had a wobbler and thought about selling it for something Jap...) Under bonnet and Inside are next...then stage 2 outside...etc....never ending money pit but god do I love it!Cheers for looking anyways...J Link to post Share on other sites

chief 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Well good news, the VR is staying and having a massive make over/ new look for 2009...New seats are waiting to go in, new dials been fitted, rear seats are waiting to come out, new wheels have been found....just waiting to find a bank to do over for them! haha....Will update this tomorrow with some pics!

chief 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Thats a great photo of it! Really catches the colour. Thanks very much mate. Full credit to my mate rob who took the pic, I'm useless with a camera! :-d Link to post Share on other sites
chief 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Right....proper update then....Finally got round to fitting to the Premier Performance dials that have been sat in my boot for a few weeks.....Bought one of these....Was fed up of the CD skipping over every major bump etc....Bought these....Which are gonna look like this eventually....As the car sits outside now.......needs a bit of work to get it sitting right in terms of "stance".But 2009 is going to bring some big changes, ordered the runners for the seats today, two week wait but will give me time to sort out the blue centres....Then the rear seats are coming out, false floor going in along with a cage and harnesses. A change of rims may be on the cards as well...I'm thinking something more motorsports....either BBS CH's or something Japanese, Enkei's or Works....not sure yet. Link to post Share on other sites
