Andyaus 0 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hi peeps,Thought i'd get some pics up of the old girl as i've started the process of modifying it to suit my taste not eh previous owner lol!! So i got the car it has the following i am looking to change!:Vento front endtwin exit letter box remus exhaustsuspesport springs and dampers (way too low for a sump scraper!)standard VR6 BBSI've just fitted some FK coilovers which came on friday to save my sump as i'm on my second in 3 months!I've got a exhaust off of here something a little more subtle!I managed to get hold of some Mercedes 8 holes wheels on stretch rubber for a good price with adaptors so i couldn't say no!! lol they are 16" even though they look massive in the pic due to the low profile! Just waiting for my bro to put the new rubber on them as the front 2 are worn.I have a raceland decat pipe to go on too but i read on here you need 2 holes in it for the O2 sensor is this correct as mine only has 1 hole for the lambda?????? *-) I've posted some pics changing the suspension yesterday, i will get some more on when i get further!!

thegoth 5 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 a standard VR only needs one lamda sensor. Link to post Share on other sites
Andyaus 0 Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 yeah i had supersport spring and dampers on it when i got it and they have been on only 6 months and the rear one is leaking which it failed its MOT on, obviously i didn't know this until after i had ordered the coilovers so i guess it worked out for the best!!!
