It's terribly dirty at the moment as I drove it back the 150 miles in the tipping rain from Yorkshire.

60k miles on old engine, 15 miles on a brand new recon engine that's not even been run in yet (with all new internals, only the block has been used)
Dbilas inlet manifold and Pipercross induction
Full Milltek Sport Exhaust

Resprayed in White (obviously) only 2 small areas of chipping
Standard wheels in Black (I'm removing these asap though, never liked the standard ones)
Drilled/Grooved discs
MMG rear diffuser
Rear Turbo Lip Spoiler
Interior sections finished in white
Re-trimmed leather seats with centre white band













New engine block:

This another one to sell or are you keeping it Seb? Looks nice

[LY_Scott]

Let me know when you are selling this Seb, cheers

[ChrisS1]

Looks great. Never heard of a Dbilas inlet manifold before.

[rob999]

What happened to the old engine Seb? Rest of the car looks pretty good for the price you got it.

[Seb.F]

Nono this is 'mine'. Only got the red one for sale now and then I'm done. It wasn't really a plan with the other two, it just happened two came up close that I could do a bit of work on. Old engine had a chain failure I think. The guy wasn't too sure as he's useless mechanically but just waiting on a call from where the work was done. Only 15 miles since! The Dbilas I think was done by Regal back in the day. It seems to make quite a throaty noise and I'm told is similar to the 2.4 manifold.

[ChrisS1]

Would you like to swap your bodywork with mine?

[Tom220SC]

Nice looking VX Seb, like the white was this on eBay recently?

Just needs a set of black DTC's

[Kieran B]

Probably going to be TD's I think! Just because they're easy & cheap to get hold of and I like the multispokes on these.

16/17 wheels, suspension refresh, new pro alloy rad & decent set of fans, plus the demontweeks temp controller and corsa top hose, decent set of dampers, make sure the brakes are all good to go, possibly a splitter.

Geo the whole thing and then we're good to go for this year I think.

[Seb.F]

Oh and all the other little bits you do, EGR cheater, heater box sealed up properly etc.

[techieboy]

Please tell me you're not keeping the white interior? It gives me a headache just thinking about it, let alone seeing it. Time to break out some proper leather dye.

[ChrisS1]

^^^What he said. Change door cards to black or carbonfibre or alcantara and sort the seats out too. Oh, and a badgeless V would finish the front off nicely

Door cards are being removed and the inserts/new door cards I will do something with, quite what I'm not sure just yet.

The seats themselves are in incredibly good condition... there is quite literally a nail's width of wear on the bolster so if someone is after a white interior in almost perfect condition... please get in touch

[Seb.F]

And I've got a carbon dash hanging around somewhere.

[ChrisS1]

Is fred666 after white seats? Seem to remember he has white wheels...

[Seb.F]

Thought he already had them... but I'll check.

[techieboy]

What colour was the car originally?
