Well I thought it was about time i did one of these. Ive Been on here quite a while.. So Here it goes
Right i got my saxo from an old couple in the new forest for a bargain price, put it through its mot cost me 35quid bargain :panic: , needed new handbrake cable nd light bulbs frnt nd rear.
Any way i bought it bog standard
Heres Some Pics of when i picked her up
6209
6210
6211
Nice and tidy apart from passengers door lock, was broke as some c**t tried to break in and drivers side back bumper scraped from the old lady not being able to drive lol
After picking her up i gave her a full service, changed cam belt, fan belt, plugs, oil, and oil filter. only cost me £50, then checked the brakes they seemed ok.
I then set out on buying ice, i bought a 1000wt sub, 2000w amp, and 2x 1000w 6x9's, i also bought a dvd headunit, worst mistake i could of made.
I then thought i needed something to put the amp and sub in, so i went down to my local b&q's got some mdf and done a boot build, and an enclosure for my sub, then covered it in some nice material.
After my dvd head unit going wrong i bought a kenwood headunit, absolutely amazing sound, and does everything i want.
a few months pass, im getting bored, so i go and buy some tint film, and tint my back windows, took me bloody ages to do and i still have bubbles in them, so im going to get a pro to do it.. so if any body know of any 1 around the bmouth area who does cheap/reduced tints plz pm me :P
Now a few problems rise, going down then dually to take parents into bmouth and me car is shacking like f**k, i think ah well it needs balancing, the next day i go to my grandads, who has a pit, and theirs a crack in my passengers drive shaft, gr8 another problem, so i ring up my local car spares they quote me £58 i say woop, go and collect, then i realise ive got 2 get gear box oil and a new diff seal, once i had got all that i replace the shaft, bit of a pain but it only took 2 1/2 hours from start to finish.. im happy now
few weeks pass and my car wont start immobiliser light comes on, one time starts fine next wont start, after a few months i thnk bugger it, pull black box out and wolla no more probs, but i have a seperate immob fitted now + an alarm.
few weeks pass, i need an exhaust so i buy a devil exhaust of a fellow saxp member nice chap, and fits to my car nicely and doesnt look shite. i then wanted a induction kit so i get a k&n 57i.
Few more months pass and i think i need alloys so i goto wiltshire and get some multispoke white toora 3stud alloys mint con.
Thats all ive done just thought id start a progress thread.
I will upload more pics later when i get onto my pc
Thanks
