Carl VTS - Ph1 VTS track project

(1/51) > >>

Carl VTS:
Well, at last, here's a brief history:

Back in the summer of 2004 I fell in love. I bought my first VTS in gorgeous Posideon blue. :smitten:
Mods were subtle, debadged grille, uprated brakes, Toyo Proxes tyres all round, Powerflow exhaust. K&N Induction kit & strut brace. Pulled 187 BHP on the rollers on two seperate occassions at two different locations.
It was in mint condition, but eventually, i had to sell to make way for a family car.

Carl VTS:
Then, in April 2008, after constant peer pressure (all my mates have track cars) I had enough cash to buy a 2nd car. It had to be a VTS again. So after searching high and low, I found this little gem.
And the first thing i done was service it, then take it to the Nurburgring  ;D, where it was spot on, even in standard form.

Carl VTS:
And so the summer of 2008 was here, albeit late, and lasting about 10 minutes! I began to get her track prepared. First job was to uprate the brakes. Brembo grooved discs all round, with Ferodo DS2500 on the front, and standard pads on the rear. Wheels were dressed in Toyo Proxes.

I believe mods should go in this order, a good thing to bear in mind i think:

* Brakes & tyres
Suspension
Engine

Then a  roll cage came up for sale on here, and eventually got it fitted Dec 08

Carl VTS:
Next, seats from eBay, subframes and harnesses from Demon Tweeks.

Carl VTS:
And a strut brace
