Yea, getting bigger brakes on by friday but got to wait for the alternator sorting, and then got to get it through the MOT before anything else. Could be hard without a CAT lol.

It was in mint condition but for some unknown reason people keep putting dints in the passenger door.

[Berg]

looks nice, bet it goes well ;)

just out of interest whats the S like on fuel with those mods?

[makaveli144]

[makaveli144]

[makaveli144]

Cheers aimee, had to bin the other set in the end.

[makaveli144]

Just a bit of an update really, nothing major...

The car is going to be boosted...

Turbo, Manifold etc have all being purchased today.

[markmaddox]

looks clean and tidy! like the brakes!

[makaveli144]

Also forgot to mention

Purchased some carbon fibre engine covers from streamline.

[stoner75]

the blue one was nicer

[makaveli144]

the blue one was nicer

the silver ones quicker and will be even quicker when its done.

And tbh prefer the VTS in MK1, more aggressive looking.

[Berg]

will be awesome turbo'd

you doing the work yourself?

good luck with it :y:

[makaveli144]

Unlikely tbh, I would break something lol. So it will probably be fitted by my trusty mechanic, but I havent decided yet so I may have a bash.

[jpsaxo]

DP manifold Mate?

What power you aiming for, I need to up my NA game once im back by the sounds of it :D

[makaveli144]

nah not the dp one. Its a cituning one.

I was considering staying na and getting bodies etc, but the power of boost won in the end.

[AlexB]

dan nooooooooooooooooo

boost is the cheaters way lol
n/a is for real men!

[Shellz]

Both look very nice! :D

[makaveli144]

[makaveli144]

Another update, the carbon fibre came from streamline this morning so heres some pics:

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee216/makaveli144/P1030447.jpg

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee216/makaveli144/P1030449.jpg

As you can see the weave is really good and they all fitted fine except for the brake cover. It didnt fit at all so a bit of butchering was required but got it sorted in the end.

[arsenal_69r]

nice saxos m8 u got any pics of the carbon parts fitted?

[makaveli144]

Heres pics of them fitted, the bay isnt the cleanest and some bits are tatty but obv with the turbo etc fitted a lot of it will be replaced.

very smart Dan, i like that :y:

[mattg]

Those carbon bits look the tits fitted, looks so clean and tidy:y:

[landanimal]

where do you find turbo parts to buy?

[Danr]

The look good. Make it go faster? ;)

[Berg]

liking the carbon ;)

[Bicston]

Apologies for the brake cover not fitting, we found there are a couple of different versions of reservoir, unfortunately a downside to inheriting some pro comp moulds where we have not moulded direct form OE parts. A chap came to the workshop for fitting of engine bay kit, all okay except the brake cover, his reservoir was completely different, what year is your car ? we need to research the brake reservoirs etc to find out which ones it always fits and the ones it either needs modifying or just not suitable for. Glad you are happy with them, much better fit now since going to 2 x 200g plies of carbon, as they are covers they don't need any rigidity to them, so no need to go overboard

thanks

[Ross170889]

I think i just cum the bay looks amazing mate

[Shellz]

Looks good!! :D

[saxokid100]

Looks nice job!!:y::p

[jamiemol]

really like the carbon how much they all cost?

[TurboDonkey]

Looking good!

[L20VTS]

Looks nice will look out for it! Dont think ive seen it around yet :)

[makaveli144]

£157 inc postage.

Its ok, nothing a bit of butchering didnt solve.

It isnt used that much tbh, and I never really take it very far.

[Elliott]

looks good.

[LEE_VTR1]

looking good dan. when's the turbo getting fitted then?

[makaveli144]

Next year, ready for shows etc and the ring. I should have all the parts before then but dont see the point in fitting it in the winter.

And the NA power is enough for now lol.

[makaveli144]

Not really and update, but the car failed the MOT today on excessive emissions. So is off the road until I can find a CAT:wall:

[fossie]

Cats are cheap enough to buy new tho arent they?

[Berg]

would a mk1 vtr cat from under the car work at all mate?

i have one sat at home as i dont own a mk1 anymore

[makaveli144]

You have a pm berg.

[makaveli144]

Fail Again!


Got somewhere to put it through on emissions and then then decided to fail it on other things instead:

All indicator bulbs wrong colour, apparently they have faded.
No bonnet safety catch

So got ripped off to fook.

Also the car is never going to be turbo'd the kit will be going up for sale as I now dont want to spend money on it.

The car may also be up for sale soon, with or without MOT im unsure.

[dannygti]

dont lose the spirit mate, once its through the mot youll want to carry on as normal i bet.

also the list of things its failed in isnt very hard to sort out.... so get on it buddy;)

[makaveli144]

also the list of things its failed in isnt very hard to sort out.... so get on it buddy

but they then added emissions to it as they failed it on everything else. So the list is bigger than when it started. I have completely lost the spirit tbh. I love the car and driving it still makes me smile but I cant be arsed with this every year, it really isnt worth it. And it just feels like im throwing money at it for no reason.

Also the BTB may be for sale or swap for a supersprint.

[dannygti]

sell the re-mapped ecu and then buy a predator. then you can map it for emissions and for power. then youll already have a head start with your turbo conversion, you could basically fit it, and a turbo car will pass emissions better.

[makaveli144]

Looking at selling or breaking the car, offers on both. so I can see if it will be worth it.

Please bear in mind if sold it will be wothout an MOT.

I would also consider swapping it.

[chris205]

dont give up mate, theres times Ive felt that way, fed up of the bother of faffing around spending money, but once its done its done for a year,

you will probably always have trouble with emissions but once you've found a garage that are willing to turn a blind eye you should be fine

[makaveli144]

Its just not happening, just bought a standard exhaust and cat but it wont fit the BTB manifold. Its not worth throwing money at it. So just looking to regain as much of the money as I can.

[jpsaxo]

mine was fine with btb and std system..

[makaveli144]

the bore of the mani was too big and the system as too short to reach the mani and fit properly.

[jpsaxo]

mine fitted spot on mate, not sure what your doing wrong tbh.

The only thing i had to do was change the hanger at the back as mark 2 is different to mark one hangers

[makaveli144]

It wasnt me who tried to do it. It was a mechanic who does everything with the cars, it just really wouldnt fit. Pulling it forward to reach the CAT meant it wouldnt sit on the centre hanger and hit allsorts underneath the car.

So the aim now is to get it all sorted and sold.

[makaveli144]

Passed the mot today. Im so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dannygti]

woop woop.... well done mate.

do you want to keep the car now?

[makaveli144]

yea, it will be staying now. got some work to be done though.

Gonna go carbon fibre shopping I think to celebrate.

[AlexB]

nice dan
glad you got it sorted

now stop being like miss fannywasting time and boost it
you still have the turbo stuff I assume

[mmmatt]

love that vts, luks standard, awesome so clean, i wouldn't change a thing to the exterior

[Andy_OZ]

that is mean mate

[Saxo_theedge]

Well nice VTS, like how you've kept it looking oem, thats how it should look imo. Looks spot on down 50mm aswell.
:y:

[makaveli144]

It wont be keeping the standard look,it will be subtle but I have become obsessed with carbon fibre, some more bits have been ordered.

[makaveli144]

Started to fit the carbon fibre widemouth today, what a nightmare lol, they dont fit very well but there ok otherwise. Im going to get mine filled in with black silicone in the gaps where it doesnt meet the bumper properly so you shouldnt be able to tell.

Also sprayed my two fans quartz silver, there a bit brighter than the car, but in the dark behind the bumper I hope they will fit in.

[dannyhall]

That's cool!

You do like your carbon don't you?! LOL

[makaveli144]

Silver and carbon is the theme I am going for.

[DazzaVTS]

I like the look of the exhaust...

Whats it sound like?, Does It Pop And Bang?

Where can you get them from?, and how much are they?...

Kind Regards,

Its a BTB, they are fairly quiet as they have 3 silencers and a much bigger bore than other exhausts. But it sounds awesome and gets loud towards 8k revs.

You cant get them from anywhere unless someone sells one as they dont make them any more, and there are only a few around.

You are looking about 300-400 if someone sells up.
