I'll hopefully be posting my next update tomorrow evening, maybe monday. Will see how it goes.
#141: Re: Seb's VX Project *In Progress* Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Sun Apr 11, 2010 5:32 pm ---- So unbelievably tired now, but an update all the same:
First job was to pop on another exhaust manifold as mine had a slight crack in it due to them fitting a small 'precat' after the manifold which causes it to warp shortly after cold starts.
Timing chain on and rocker on properly:
Inlet on:
Alternator and custom made idler for the charger belt:
Wiring to be sorted:
Sorted!Injectors & fuel rail on. Tried to keep as much of the 'factory' look as possible:
Into the block:
Chargecooler pipework:
Charger on:
Filling up the coolant systems and attaching the throttle body:
Milltek and heat shield on:
Bleeding the systems:
All of us three working hard:
Most things back together:
Rear clam back on:
Lights in:
Tomorrow I'll finish the rest off, fitting the front clam, the interior back in, and setting the coilover ride heights.

#145: Re: Seb's VX Project *In Progress* Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Mon Apr 12, 2010 1:05 am ---- Hopefully I'll have it running and on the road later in the day, only working on my own now so it will take a bit longer.

Looks amazing, well done for all the work. Im actually really excited for you and hope its as good as you imagine. Hurry up and finish, then get a proper video (someone else in the car with you!!).
That looks brilliant! Weight saving to the extreme...
Hope it all comes together ok
#148: Re: Seb's VX Project *In Progress* Author: Rich196, Posted: Mon Apr 12, 2010 2:33 am ---- why did you not just get that faster one straight out the box? i cant remember if you can get a factory turbo charged or supercharged?

Ha, don't ask the question if you don't know if one was out there.
But to answer your query, I don't think there was a supercharged VX produced. I may be wrong, but I thought this project would make Sebs car quicker than any factory/standard VX.
