and bought this: ebay. What a ride back home it was! The missus said that it spat a flame once

I know that JBT tuned it, Flea mapped and it was owned by a forum member jonnybgt1976. Now I am the proud owner of this 358bhp beastie

How much???

Well done fella. Which one will you be bringing Friday

Wow,did I spend some time on this.
Superb car and No expense was spared.
Ontop of that was the quickest rsr setup.

Could do with a lick of paint but mechanically it was very good at the time.

Nice find.

Wow bargain for the spec, 358bhp for £800.

Not sure if that was the price - Was the starting price, But got pulled I presume after an offer... I await the cost, I am jealous!

Haha, nope I had to pay more than £800. How much? If I may I will keep it to myself

I am not sure if I'll be coming down on Fri as I need to prepare my 16VT for sale the quicker I can sell the sooner I can insure the 20vt.

BTW, I prefere the sound of my 16VT

20vt sounds sooo much better especially with that H&S custom system.

Right, it's been one bloody hectic week for me. Been working after work (8-11pm) on my two coupes transferring some goodies from my 16VT over on to the 20VT to improve handling. Nothing wrong with the previous setup but I thought that it deserves better and there will be no benefit leaving the goodies on the 16VT as I will never get the money back when selling it.

Anyway, 20VT inherited adjustable Koni rears and front Bilstein B6's, new top mount + bearings + that rubber bits which go on the springs, AVO lowering springs, new track rod ends, and Eibach camber adjustment bolts. Unfortunately, because the 20VT was fully under sealed the springs it came with were painted too... When removing the rears I realised that they are Eibach's... Well, front suspension out again for springs swap so now on Eibacha's too.

Still to be fitted:
- polybushed OEM wishbones,
- lower strut brace,
- upper strut brace (either relocate brake fluid reservoir or get the LE brace),
- bolybushed track rod ends,
- HID Kit,
- Whiteline 22mm rear arb,
- spacers and 17" lightweight alloy wheels,
- boost gauge in a-pillar,
- uprated speakers and mp3 player,
- race pads (either EBC Blue Stuff or OMP 971C) and brake fluid flush with Millers 300+.

Then, TAX, oil + filter change, compression check for peace of mind, tracking and camber adjustment to - 1.15 and off to Bedford Autodrome

Should this be moved to project area?

Yes why not. Would be a great read .

when you going Bedford Autodrome??

Not sure yet Marco but I guess late Oct/ early Now. If you want to I will let you know.
