Station 5955 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Did the VTS engine 'go straight in'?I bet driving that is the same feeling my brother had when I let him go down a very steep hill in a shopping trolley. garethj 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Someone buy it quick. Its the best car. Offer him £500 and tell him to keep the back doors. Someone back in the 'Spillers' days had a very rapid mk1 GT, with centre exit twin upswept DTM. Rumour has it, it was running a BX GTi engine. Jim Bell 1 Link to post Share on other sites

holbeck 4942 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I might be interested in your Dispatch if it's on the road, but I'm on a budget. Link to post Share on other sites
Sigmund Fraud 4485 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I had a 106 with this engine, it was simply superb ! The lighter AX body and the giffer-spec exterior should make this one highly entertaining. I really don't have space for another car, otherwise I would have bitten your hand off. GLWTS etc. Did the VTS engine 'go straight in'?I bet driving that is the same feeling my brother had when I let him go down a very steep hill in a shopping trolley. The VTS engine is a 'TU' type block, so it should bolt right in. They are no shopping trolley, though. Even with the OEM suspension, they handle brilliantly. Just don't lift off in the wet, unless your surname is Vatanen. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike D 935 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 What's the TnT situation please Chief? Link to post Share on other sites
ruffgeezer 4030 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 It was mot'd at the start of the month, but I haven't taxed it as I already have 2 cars taxed, at the moment I'm refusing to give the robbing bastards any more money as I can only drive one car at once! The engine fits without any modifications to the shell, but I did put a polybush in the rear engine mount in to be on the safe side. Link to post Share on other sites

ruffgeezer 4030 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hi Sean, This is the most recent pic of it; These are the seats I fitted to it (1/2 leather) Fitted with BX trims instead of the chrome caps: If I dig up any more, I'll post them here. Link to post Share on other sites

ruffgeezer 4030 Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Ok, this is a last ditch bump before I take it to ebay, I've managed to bugger my wrist up which makes driving this one very difficult, I'm struggling with PAS equipped cars as it is, let alone the poor Ax! It's got tax until Jan (I think, might be longer) and Mot until July, I can be very easily tempted by swaps but I haven't much free time at the moment, so mega journeys might be difficult.

Negative Creep 4372 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I used to have a VTR engined AX which was awesome fun, ad this would be even better. Buy this and infuriate VAG TDI drivers to your heart's content Cavcraft 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ruffgeezer 4030 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 It causes plenty of surprises that's for sure, which is part of why I built it like this, the GT kitted ones look good, but people expect them to be a bit nippy, with this one, not so much.
