Looks like I'm turning into Matt, accumulating enough VX bits to build one in kit form.

 

Bear in mind I already have a fully working car elsewhere, equipped with Compos, Nitrons, M62 charger, turbo ears, turbo spoiler etc.

 

 

And a slightly better angle for seeing what is actually there;

 

ATS DTC wheels

Lotus ABS

Alu Rad

Vauxhall V

Bonnet louvres

Four balljoints (another four to be bought obv)

Ertacetal wishbone bushes

Carbon instrument binnacle (probably going to sell)

Sparco steering wheel with EP quick release kit

APR Carbon mirrors

Scroth harnesses X2

Jon Betts Harness bar

Single Composite Worx seat (until a decision is made to purchase another or set of Probax)

Poly front and rear engine mounts

Tullet 2.5inch Manifold

lightweight header tank bracket

ZZP Phenolic spacer

ZZP comp Cams stage 2 SC

ZZP Supertech valve springs

6 Rib crank pulley

6 rib alternator underdrive pulley

Coupe kit (not all panels pictured)

 

 

Also worth noting that not in shot, and not coming to the house, are the

 

Saab B207 engine

Quantum single ways

1inch ARB

Reduced bump steer kit

Bosch water pump

PA Chargecooler rad

PA Chargecooler header tank

PA gearbox breather

 

Try and rob me an I'll break your legs.

 

Plus, most of this is on its way to other locations as of this week anyway.

 

Oh, and project thread to come ASAP.

Jeez G, not doing things by halves then

Don't ever add it all up, its too frightening. What a superb car you'll end up with.

 

And for that I await the project thread with great interest. Come on, get started..

What made you go for the PA header tank rather than the Alloy Fabrications one?

[ArticMonkey]

Not going to buy any tyres then?

[The Batman]

Looks like my house I also have parts at techies and vockys

I had 5l of oil on the kitchen side and got a funny look!

[rizo9]

What rad you go for?

[VXT Tim]

Most thing I have a hankering for fades after a week or 2. My want for those seats hasn't diminished since they were first posted on here.

Pleased it's not just me

[vocky]

exhaust is on the wrong side of the engine 

[nicollow]

I can take the ATSs off your hands if you need the space

[Steve.i.am]

And the rad is round the wrong way

[Claws]

Pfft, what do you know?

Big stages yes, halves no - not my style

I do need to add it up at somepoint, but there's a few £k to come back off stuff sold from the old one and donor car anyway.

 

What made you go for the PA header tank rather than the Alloy Fabrications one?

 

Because when I asked Joe about a chargecooler he said he could supply a header tank also. No reason other than that.

 

Not going to buy any tyres then?

 

Well I try my best not to pay for tyres (the OEM bridgies on my VXT were free) and I'd love to do the same with the SC - but I'm not sure I have the right contacts in the right places. If Bridgestone had the right rubber in the right sizes it would be no problem.

You'll recognise quite a lot of bits in the pic Joe

No more so than normal.

Funnily enough I did realise after we'd started to pack it all away that we'd forgotten to take a pic of me in the driver's seat. Closest I'll get to driving a car for a month or so anyway.

 

bet your in the good books with the wife lol

 

No wife, she's not that mental. She did help me with the picture though, dragging everything out of the garage and helping arrange it. It's amazing what she'll do for me now I'm a cripple

 

What rad you go for?

 

The one that came with the car. Not sure what alloy rad it is, can't see any markings on it, but when I bought the donor from ChrisSC he mentioned he had one, and the deal was made that it came with the car.

 

Most thing I have a hankering for fades after a week or 2. My want for those seats hasn't diminished since they were first posted on here.

 

Funnily enough I have a lot more pictures of the seats, which I'll post up in the composite worx group buy thread later tonight. Have a look there and be prepared to have your want deepened even further.

 

exhaust is on the wrong side of the engine 

 

Well if we're going to get picky, then my coupe panel's going to look fcuking stupid sitting sideways across the rear of the clam! But yeah, I just placed things roughly in the right sort of location - it's not technically accurate

Now the VX is at Matt Bentley's, there's a lot of space in my garage. So thanks for the kind offer, its appreciated, but not needed this time

 

 

And the rad is round the wrong way

 

Like I said above, just placed roughly in the right location of the car's silhouette!

Doesn't that ABS unit have someone's name on it Graeme?
