Isn't a VTS 2.4 LTL rack going to be a little stiff to manoeuvre at parking or on the limit without PAS especially with a boat anchor 6 engine?

Can't speak for on the limit, but the couple of de-PAS'd VTS racks that I've driven weren't really noticeably heavier than a normal 205/309 de-PAS.

 

(the rack Fatony is using is a Phase 2 VTS rack btw)

That will be in showroom condition soon, keep up the good work mate I like stuff like this, someone did the same thing to a black 309 gti it looked amazing, I think it was called black beauty? It's good when a genuine enthusiast and or hobbiest restores a car of any kind so well and in such good detail.

 

How come your using the vts rack de pass by the way? Is it less turns lock to lock?

 

I have put alot of new parts on my car done the all the suspension and rear beam myself looks so good when it goes on new, I didn't paint or clean the arches though might dedicate a full weekend to doing all four one day, I did my own rear beam, was trickier than it looks but got there in the end.

None of it is done up yet, you should always tighten bushes under weight :)
