this is my motor she is a 1985 vitesse and a recon i have fallen on a good one, as she had a body restoration, a gear box rebuild, re-furbished alloys and a rebuilt engine with ported heads, shortend-polished trumpets and a piper cam, not so long ago so at the mo she is all good..i have done a few mods to her which are, k and n air filter, 4/2/1 manifold, rimmers exhaust system, jag brakes, lowerd suspension (i did not do this and im not sure what the suspension is but it is seriously low as i am scrapeing every speed bump and even the kerbs) mark adams remote ecu adjuster and tornado ecu, custom made original white dials, red seat belts, gear stick and hand brake change, goodrich brake hoses,twin fans for extra cooling,custom made front strut brace,front corner splitters, white indicators to the front and side, and its been completely waxoiled under neath and all 4 arches..(no problems on the last 2 years mots) Very Happy

future mods will be a modified 4.6 transplant (just dont want to take out the current engine yet as the car has only done 17000 miles since the re-build) Very Happy

full re-trim in black leather with red pipeing (but i have seen an sd1 with the rover 820 vitesse recaro front and rear seats as they fit straight in but i just think this might be a bit tacky.???) Confused

new sound system Shocked

rear disk brakes Very Happy

twin exhaust system out the back (one each side) Very Happy

hi im realy not sure Confused

as the front bumper drags on the top of the kerbs if igo anyware near them.also the speed bumps will some times scrape the exhaust,,,when i took it for its mot i asked him to check it and he said its fine it has just been lowerd ..he even had trouble getting it on to the mot ramp..i carnt tell what kit it has because its been completly waxoiled under neath and all 4 arches...the back of the car doesnt seem so bad but the front is one of the lowest ive seen Confused

Judging by those pictures compared to my car i would say it's 60mm all around.Nice white dials by the way.
