Few pictures of my biscuit tin...

... for anyone that cares. The sun decided to show its face today, so I got a few pictures with the new camera.

Looks like a nice example

Like the colour too, not many boy racers with that colour.

Red calipers

BeatMaster · 3 Feb 2009 at 20:26

Very nice and tidy example. Looks very clean and suttle

Is it lowered or is that the normal height - sits just right. A nice 35% tint on the rear windows would suit it nicely

Oh and some nice photos :cool:

Is it just me or does your front left tyre look rather...deflated?

Leeum · 3 Feb 2009 at 20:37

Danke

BeatMaster: It's down 40mm on Spax adjustables... you can't begin to imagine how odd it looked before lowering haha.

shifty: I think it was in a pot hole.

Does it go well ? :]
Nice car

Leeum · 3 Feb 2009 at 21:11

It's never going to win any medals in a straight line but it's massive fun in the bends. :cool:

It's a shame it's 8 valves down on the VTS but I can't justify selling up... taken a lot of time and effort to get it to a standard I'm happy with.

Westyfield2 · 3 Feb 2009 at 21:27

Looks really good :cool:

, that's the colour I'm thinking of getting one in too.

What mods has it got other than lowering?
Although maybe adding mods to the mix as-well as me being 18 and only driving for 6 months isn't a good idea re insurance quotes!

Drop a 16v lump in there lad, easy enough job that can be done in a day.

Leeum · 3 Feb 2009 at 21:37

Nothing you can do once you catch the modding bug, haha. I'm 18 with 0 NCB and insurance isn't *too* bad. The car has:

Supersprint 4-2-1 manifold
Piper full system
Green panel filter
266mm brakes with goodridge hoses
OMP upper and lower strut braces
Powerflex lower gearbox mount

Will be fitting some Powerflex ARB and wishbone bushes over easter... should sharpen the front end up nicely.

Tidy looking car, not ruined, nothing to criticise

Nice VTR there, it's good to see one that doesn't have stupid modifications on it. I'd even own one now

Why thank you. I have a feeling Saxos have just appreciated in light of that comment.

Nice looking motor btw

MikeHunt79 · 3 Feb 2009 at 23:15

Indeed, are you local?

MikeHunt: The A1 runs along that bridge above, hehe.

task · 3 Feb 2009 at 23:20

I used to be. I know the very bridge you're parked underneath, on Mitford road, right?

Where in the area are you from?

Small world! As you leave Morpeth to join the A1 there's a rather large estate on your left. Great roads round here... especially heading up to Rothbury the back way. :cool:
