[Flyingorphan]

what a thread lol

There you go Mikey, thread well on its way. I started it, but relised pics where on a different comp

Thanks Sian3y, it does look good as it its :)
I wanted black as i reckon best colour 2.

Ive decided now that im gonna choose a different bodykit, maybe Dimma, or BMX, not sure yet. So some items i have will apear in the for sale section soon :) I change my mind all the time!

I still want to flush the boot off, but will do that wen i have a decent rear bumper to go on.
Thinking about titan arches, but dunno yet.
As for using the flush doors i have, unsure about that aswel.

I am getting the Procomp bonnet fitted this week, taking my car in Tomorrow, and picking her up Friday. They are gonna spray the Spoiler for me aswel. Gonna cost me £250, which i dont think is that bad.
I will keep you all posted, and upload more pics.

[grantlowery]

Dont body kit it!

It looks perfect as it is now, the smooth boot would look ok like, other than that give her a good clean and it will look stunning. Love the alloys too!

[Raz]

plans sound ok if your going for a show car....otherwise body kits a no-no mo fo!

i used to like kitted cars...but have gone off them big time now :y:

[xxxvickxxx]

nice sax :y: personally i would only stick a body kit on if it was a show car

[Saxy1]

looks nice.

[yd51vtr]

nice motor just dont bodykit it mate it will ruin it IMO

[Roy-VTS]

nice sax :y: personally i would only stick a body kit on if it was a show car

i just wouldnt but thts only my opinion . . . car looks good though :y:

[Amiee]

Have to agree the body kit will ruin a lovely car..

[Flyingorphan]

Thanks for the comments guys. I must admit, the car does need a slight clean.
I dunno what im gonna do with it yet, i fancy a show car, but also fancy a car that looks a little different.
I think a Dimma rear bumper and flush boot will look nice. Maybe smoothing the front bumper.
Dunno will see what it looks like Friday :D

[Krammy]

That grille gonna stay with the car when you bodywork mod it?

Or sell?

[Flyingorphan]

I will be selling the grill mate, be avaiable Friday

[Krammy]

PM me with the price :)

Dimma grillie aint it?

[Flyingorphan]

Yep, i belive so mate :)

[Krammy]

Sweet..pm me when u can..ive got cash awaiting

[Wayne]

looks very nice mate:y: not a fan of the m3 mirrors, but if you like them that is all what matters, i would get a dimma bodykit on it if your going down the bodykit route.

[Flyingorphan]

Yeh, thinking of it mate. I dont like the front dimma bumper tho, so may keep standard one.
Dunno yet, its all in the plan stage again, and money permittting.

Car went to paint shop yest, now just gotta wait :)

[james__vts]

car looks really smart mate.

[vtr_driver]

Can't beleive I'm even suggesting this but if your going down the "aggressive" route how about a Wings West Splitter on a smoothed front bumper?

[Adam_Q]

Great progress thread dude! But please dont body kit it... Use that chop I did of a smooth boot! Would look ace :)

[mitchell_saxo]

they look better with out the kit m8 nice car tho

[Flyingorphan]

Can't beleive I'm even suggesting this but if your going down the "aggressive" route how about a Wings West Splitter on a smoothed front bumper?

I did think about Wings west, but my Girlfriend alread has it on hers
http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/DSC00242.jpg

I will def get the Boot done, only thinking of a dimma rear bumper so have somewhere to put the numberplate.
Other than that, i may leave with standard skirts, and smooth front bumper.

Thanks for all the comments guys, will keep you all posted :D

[tommyVTR]

looks nice as it is, not to sure about the bodykit but all down to personal preference.

[Flyingorphan]

Got my Procomp bonnet on now, looks sweet! may just leave the car like that, or will be forever spending money, lol.

Sorry to hear that man! hope you find a nice new vts ;)

Oh... sell me your rear lights ;)

[Berg]

gutted for you mate :n:

whats your plans on new car?

[vtcarl]

the main thing is that you are in one piece and ok. but i think that the big man upstairs had other plans for your car and couldn't bare seeing you ruin a saxo with an aftermarket kit that you had. next time just do nice things to them, there are too many getting ruined by extra plastic or written off. but as i said at the begining you are ok.

[Saxy1]

Sorry to hear that mate.

[Flyingorphan]

gutted for you mate :n:

whats your plans on new car?

Well, hopefully looking into gettin a vts next, just im gonna lose my no claims! So looking around £1100 for Third party cover!
Will keep looking around tho. Im gutted about my car, think cost me just under £6000 all together. :(

[s3tre2003]

mate pm me if your selling thos rear lights!!

shame about the car..but it can be replaced =]

[Flyingorphan]

Lol, everyone wants my lights! U must be the 5th person :)

[2TONEVTS]

[minxie20]

Luv the wing west kit on your girlfrends car!! :y:

[Timlowthian]

[Flyingorphan]

I crashed the car in Arreton, near Arreton Manor, the corner before the new wall thats been placed. Ive left a huge hole, lol.

Yeh Thats her! Got little car, for a 954cc!!! lol :)

[Timlowthian]

Saw the car at the scrappy 2day when we went done to source bits for my mates car! I am in love with your alloys they look the sex wanted to rob em lol! Guessing they arnt anythin 2 do with u no more?

[Flyingorphan]

Yeh im in love with my wheels aswel, there are goin with the car im afraid tho, as i have insured them with the car. Hopefully will get a chance to buy them back, aswel as my lowering springs/Shocks! As i want to get a VTS now, and just put them straight on :)

[Aly]

Sorry to hear it mate, I crashed my Saxo last week doing 30mph into a slippy corner, mine was non structural damage only costing £450 really gutted for you mate.

Only had my Saxo a month and a half it's amazing how easy you can crash one as I'd been driving a 307 for well over a year with no problems.

[Flyingorphan]

My Rear lights are for sale as seen in the pics. Will upload pics on here 2moz, and there is 2 slight scratches, nothing serious. Offers :)

[Flyingorphan]

Hey guys, been awhile! Was gonna get another Saxo, saved up the cash for a VTS but, with a twisted decision i have now gone Jap! Bought a Glanza V (1.3 Turbo) for £3000! Bargin, excellent little car, here are some pics! Car is abit dirty, but just the way i like it :P

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/S8302345.jpg

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/S8302347.jpg

I do have alot of spares still for saxo's, which i will put up for sale shortly. These include Flush doors, Full stainless Exhaust System, set of standard VTR wheels, and set of Pro Race 2 Team Dymatics wheels. Let me know if interested :)

[OLLYVTS]

Sorry to see that you crashed your saxo,it looks pretty bad tbh.

The new car looks good tho.

[Karl]

can you take the lower spoiler off the boot,
seems well cluttered,
looks nice + nice color too.

[Shellz]

Crash looks bad, glad you're okay!

Nice new Car :D x

[Flyingorphan]

Thanks for the comments guys :) In the market atm for a VTS, so will be back with the sax crew :D
I have cleaned the car since the pics :P
Only problem with Jap cars, everything is so damm expensive, and rare!!!

[Flyingorphan]

Hiya guys little update for you!
As you know, its almost been a year since i smashed up my saxo. Still like saxos, and been looking around at VTS's and GTI's for awhile. Bought this 106 Gti from Kent at the weekend. Got this one for £1000, with FSH which is very rare. Car is standard apart from front grill. Very happy with it, drives real smooth.

Thinking of making it into a track car, as i compete in time trial events on the isle of wight with a car club. Its gonna be used as a 2nd Car, as i also still have the Glanza.

Here are some pics:-

Plans:
Im thinking of getting a manifold, shocks/springs, decat system, and green stuff pads atm (if people can suggest what manifold/decat to get). Also maybe selling interior as its full leather, unsure atm. Hope you like, will keep you posted.

[jonny106vtr]

[Flyingorphan]

hi mate just looking through progress blogs and noticed that you were one of the owners of my new car i recently bought. never got a fsh with it. dont suppose you still have it?

What car was that mate?

[Flyingorphan]

Hey guys, An update..............!
Sold the 106 Gti, have concentrated on Glanza for awhile now :)

It came with Front and Rear lip, Rota sub-zeros, lowered, RsR exhaust and a blitz Air filter. Also came with a spare set of wheels and a rear mid boot spoiler
I love the car, and my plan for it is to have good accerleration, aiming for about 200bhp.

The 1st mod to be done was to fit a set of Tein superstreet coilovers.

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/Glanza/S8302581-1.jpg
http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/Glanza/S8302584-1.jpg
http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/Glanza/S8302582-1.jpg

Next, i got a Zep Decat to help flow the exhaust gases

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/Glanza/DSC00115.jpg

I really like Buddyclub P1's, so decided to order a new set of 15's in white with a blue lip wrapped in Toyo's Proxes.

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/Glanza/DSC00291.jpg
http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/Glanza/DSC00301.jpg
http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/Glanza/DSC00300-1.jpg

Next, i decided to buy a hybrid Toy tuning turbo and bought a manifold to match.

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/Glanza/SDC11008.jpg
http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/Glanza/SDC10554.jpg

But, i sold my red manifold, and decided to go for something abit different. I ordered a Zisco External wastegated mani, and this time sprayed it blue. Again, just to be different.

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/Glanza/DSC01231.jpg

I then went and ordered other supporting mods like:-
Wepr front mount intercooler, Fuel pump, 330cc injectors, Ngk iridium spark plugs, Emange blue+Dastek (dunno which to use atm), Apexi Avc-r boost controller, Polybush engine/gearbox mounts, Rear Panhard, various Bov's, Tial External Wastegate, Blitz Nur spec R system.

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/Glanza/DSC00789-1.jpg
http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/Glanza/DSC01306.jpg


I fitted my Blitz Nur Spec R exhaust system, i did order a Buddyclub spec 2 but there was a problem with a batch, the middle pipe hit the floorpan. But im liking the Blitz now, sounds good

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/Glanza/DSC01263.jpg
http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/Glanza/DSC01258.jpg
http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/Glanza/DSC01264.jpg

So arsehole scratched my car at a airport car park whilst i was on holiday, so now has a sticker on the side.

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/Glanza/SDC10789.jpg

The car is now in the garage, having most of the bits fitted, once i get it back i can then fiddle with rest myself, like the mounts etc.
Car as it looks now

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/Glanza/DSC01346.jpg

As you can see from the pics, i have rotated the turbo for the shortest possible route. The turbo is a Ct9 Toy tuning hybrid. Atm having problems with my Fmic, so will keep you guys posted.
Sorry i started my project thread so late, but now i can come online alot more for advice when i update this
Cheers guys

Oh, and forgot to say i have bought a 200sx now aswel
That can even be another project, lol

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj271/flyingorphan/200sx/DSC01262.jpg

[Flyingorphan]
