Well had my saxo for around 6 months and done a few bits to it. I may aswell get a progress thread going so here are a few older pics when i first got it. The car was totally standard apart from the exhaust. Bonnet raisers and blacked back badges where done by myself.

Having seen what it looked like at first here are some pics of how it stands at the minute.

Current mods:
*Smoked Headlights
*Smoked Fogs
*Smoked Back Lights
*Citroen Sport Badges
*New Gloss Black Rims
*New air filter and other slight mods under the engines
*Bonnet Raisers
*Painted Chevrons Black
*Blacked Rear Badges

That is just about everything iirc, i stopped at those mods as i fell out of love with the saxo, however after getting a bit more time with the lil beast i am back in love and have plenty of future mods to look forward to including engine and suspension...pretty happy with the look as it is will more than likely just make faster and lower.

That is all for now but as and when i do more to it i will get pics up etc...

Any comments/suggestions good or bad appreciated :)

And yes it needs lowering......

Car looks nice, but dont like the bonnet risers...

They look okay on the mk1's, but not so much on the mk2's. Makes them look like they've been in a smash imo.

Oh, and deck it!;)

Looking really good mate, not to sure about the bonnet raisers though, but overall it looks a tidy car!

The exhaust looks a bit big, and get it slammed, i need to get it slammed too! Group slammage ftw!!

P.S. JOJO i have those boots too!

Really don't like the wheels bud let the car down alot, what are they just out of interest? Hopcrafts MK2 black sax was down around 50mm I think? (correct me if I'm wrong) and that looked awesome that low. Sat just right.

Bonnet raisers aren't to my taste anyway But if you like them and they're actually serving a purpose then each to their own.

I've always been interested as my mate commented at FCS08... with a black car and painting the rear badges black, can they actually be seen when following behind? Or are you giving the impression you have a smoothed rear :p

Love black sax's and you can be onto a winner here matt keep it up and don't get too sidetracked. by Jojo trying to steal you away from the car.

Cheers mate, yeah i think 50mm will be about right, thats what i will go for anyway.

I do quite like the bonnet raisers, so will keep them.. although a lot of people hate them lol...

can be seen i guess not going for the smooth look just blackness :)

The rims are from a furio iirc, i cant remember what they are originally mate (just got them as they got me rolling onto the other mods, just temp).... im thinking of putting the vtr rims back on for a bit till i sort out some new gloss black rims.....

Car will get attention a little more than it has but won't be the number one priorty im afraid...social life comes first till i get more moneys and can do both a little easier...

looks great, cars not bad either ;) but really looking good mate, i would say goin down 50mm on some pro race 1.2's in black will look swish or actually scratch that get the pro race 1.2 s rims in white with a blue lip, will set the car off nicely with those badges dude.

going to get on this again and start throwing some dosh at the car closer to christmas....

thinking about getting some new wheels and lowering all at once...

my question is any recommendations on wheels in which would best suit my car, i will be lowering about 50/60mm??

would be spraying them black if not already black or go for anthracite...

please help.....

would like them to suit the current stealthed theme.....

Danr
4th November 2008, 13:40
Same wheels Yates has? They look awesome imo!

If not maybe some 206 gti Nimrods in anthracite? Little bit different.

You don't look gay, people are scared to be different I think - look out 180 and looks he must get with bright orange wheels/cage etc.

It's your car, modify it how you like.

I went out in Brighton - UK Gay Capital in that pink shirt, I wasn't scared lol.

been mulling over where i want to go with my saxo....

fancy stripping it out again and going for the track look...

obviously the car will be colour co-ordinated and as a result the badge colour will reflect the cage colour...

would i be out of my mind to match the cage to the current colour badges i have (pink as pics)

or go with a red/blue or something which is a little more suitable...

i would intend to take it on track days etc and it would stand out, but would this be for the right reasons...

comments please????

24th November 2008, 17:09
stick with the pink!!!
your clearly not gay with jojo sat in the passenger seat!
and if your comfortable with that, then screw everybody else (not literally)

also, who cares if anyone thinks its your girlfriends car? You know its yours, she knows it yours....F*ck them!

you make a good point!!

would be pretty funky nailing round the track in a semi pink saxo...

would definately be different..

25th November 2008, 11:02
As i have kind of fell back in love with the saxo, i have decided to keep it and throw a lot of money on it over a longish period of time, this will be because i want to do things right and it is going to cost a lot of money in which i can't do it all at once... therefore....

Near Future Mods Are To Include:

De-wiper
Re-paint badges in dark blue to match sax-p/ citroen sport badges
Lower it 40-50mm all around


These should be done before the new year and really just involve a little time and not too much money..

I then plan on going all out on the car as i want it to be a track themed car these mods will start in 2009 and come as and when i have money, some may even be done just before from xmas money and presents etc...

This includes the following:

New full exhaust system, decatted with 4-2-1 manifold
2xbucket seats & harnesses
Full roll cage (jojobunbuns dad will do this) and sprayed in blue to match the badges at this point it will also get stripped.
Cam it
Map it
Flocked dash and console
Carbon fibre door cards etc.
Upper & Lower Strut braces sprayed to match badge colour.
Kill switches and engine in the centre console for a bit of track feel.
A good set of track wheels or rallye steelies...


It will obviously cost a lot of money from my point of view but i would love to have a go at turning a standard saxo into a nice little track slag...

This is just a general idea of where i plan to go with it and maybe in the future go even more mental and throttle body or engine transplant the car and maybe have it solely as a track car...

I can't think of much else at the minute but if i do i will add it up, will more than likely be steady progress but i am very adament on getting it all the way there...

I have a few ideas on what i will use in terms of manufacturer's however if anyone can recommend some for certain parts i have mentioned it would be appreciated...

Thanks All

What kind of mileage is on the R engine? Just thinking with you camming it etc.

Pink is better IMO :)

its around 70k luke, it makes sense as i am doing the cambelt etc so may aswell do the cam and then put an adjustable pully on and new cambelt etc...

i literally only have to buy the cam and all the parts on of the fitting will be done by me and my dad at his garage...

can't map it down there though...

why you ask mate??

Sounds perfect then.

I was just thinking it was mileage like 90k+ then I would of converted it to an S.

got some spax 45mm lowering springs now to bang on the car when my dad get backs from tenerife in a week.....

also got some red paint to do the mirror caps and go over the badges again....

however....

should i put the standard vtr rims back on or leave the black ones on for now until i can afford some better rims???

i could also respray the vtr rims of the black ones to match the red badges and mirror caps... would this be too much???

i now have extra plans for the saxomachine.......

aswell as it getting lowered sometime soon this week or next week

my mate has given me a posi blue vts shell with the vts wheels and vts engine just no bumpers and vt kit.....

he is getting rid of his vtr and now needs rid of the vts so i get it freeee :)



therefore the vts alloys are going on my vtr and possibly in the distant future put the vts lump in my saxo as it is a good runner....


i am thinking of now going white on the vts alloys and badges....

any suggestions to colour are welcome....

cheers

is you mate mad? get the vts engine in ;)

i know!!! we was at gym together tonight and he was on about me being able to have it...

it's because it was a project and was going to be a show car and is now collecting dust in a bodyshop... therefore he needs it to go otherwise it is going to cost him...

as my dad has a scrapyard it will go down there and i have 2 spare saxo's (a furio and vts) to play around with and choose bits etc...

im pretty happy with that...

the vts engine was dynod at 147bhp or something around that apparently however there is no proof...

but i would guess it's right as it has been cammed....

my mates a good one cause he could easily sell the engine and wheels on ebay for a decent amount of money but he is too busy...

matt_vtr_15
13th January 2009, 23:01
my badges are currently red....

may just spray these black and leave them be....

and white badges would be copying syvtr i thinks....

vts lump will go in, in a few month or so... me and my dad could do that...

only problem is that the vts gearbox is shagged and not useable therefore i will have to use my vtr or a furio box...

not sure which is best....

Ocego_VTR

Are you dumb, buy what the VTS needs to make it complete and sell it or sell the R.

fooook you karl!!!!!!

the shell is pretty screwed matey... just the engine and wheels which is of use as it was going in the body shop to have all paintwork redone and dents sorted etc...

i will keep my vtr engine as a spare and bang the s lump in for the time being and have some fun in it...

it should be ok on my vtr gearbox right???

the vts engine has been cammed and had the head ported and gas flowed or something like that....

it was a fast machine when it was on the road though so it should be fun!!

it killed standard vts's....

matt_vtr_15

matt_vtr_15
25th January 2009, 20:52
thanks...

it aint slammed no, i didn't put that...blame jo!! lol

i can't have it slammed as i have speed bumps to contend with and drive a lot of miles so it just would not work...

it is 45mm on the front and around 55-60 on the back...

just how i want it really....

meh the wheels are like or not like i guess... there ok but i am just riding out until i get the s wheels and find time to refurb and paint them up...

might bang the vtr rims on for now though....

ahhhhh makes sense mate, well i really do not know a price mate, they sound ideal for what you want but as said no tyres will come with them as i have none lol... what sorta price you thinking mate? i may as well get rid as it can go towards new wheels fund, meanwhile i will bear with the wheels which are on...

should be an easy refurb as there are just little kerb scuffles, no high spedd impact shizzle...

could bring them to west mids at the weekend if you did want them, depending on how soon...

i think it is the right height...

can just about squeeze a finger between the back arch and tyre and about 2 or 3 on the front....

should i cage the saxo?

jojo's dad has his own rollcage company and therefore it is affordable and i know a good job is done....

i only really need the front two seats anyway...

opinions??

probably wouldn't be done for a few months due to money...

cheers

... You'd want better suspension and you'd want a decent interior if your gonna cage it.

i gave it a lil polish on saturday but not a whore session therefore there is still a lot of scratches around the door handle etc...

thanks mate but i have a cd player to keep me going but will upgrade to a new head unit asap....



did you leave the face plate on your head unit?
no mate, i removed it...they broke in for the sake of it really so would have a bust locvk etc if it had or had not been in there....

i did go to the meet mate yeah, hmmm it's a strong accusation to make, but i doubt it was though anyway as a lot of other cars where done on the same night in the local area...

i understand what ya mean though....

anybody any ideas for the best cage colour for my car? i don't know whether black, silver or something that stands out...

Karl
23rd February 2009, 13:28
Black imo.

What cage are you getting?
sorted a new exhaust as its blowing?

matt_vtr_15
23rd February 2009, 13:32
Black imo.

i don't have an exhaust sorted yet mate no, i want a pugsport or supersprint or something now.. may just temporary fix until i can afford one.

Cage is being designed by jojobunbun's dad and then tig welded and powedrcoated any colour i want. Not getting a full cage just going for halfcage now and then may go more hardcore depending how into the track days i get...

Karl
23rd February 2009, 13:34
What tracktime have you booked, or what tracks you looking to drive?

Getting the cage for free then as you cant afford a new 'zorst?

No not getting the cage for free lol, just that the cage will be done sometime next month whereas the exhaust needs sorting asap!!

Tracks i don't really care mate, i just want to get on any i can, but want my car to have a decent cage etc beforehand...

I want to do mallory, cadwell etc... and eventually nurburgring when i can afford it...

Karl
23rd February 2009, 13:48
What suspension have you got on this little puppy mate?
or what you looking into buying.

Might be worth doing a 20 min sesh @ FCS etc, see if you like zee track.

currently have spax 45mm springs which jojo got me for xmas...

therefore will buy some spax shocks and use the springs i have and then get some uprated dampers for the back...

that should be ok shouldn't it? for a noob?


Which would be better as well if ya know mate..

2inch inward rolled or 3 inch outward rolled?

i want a nice raspy pop and bang and those two choices are available??

Karl
23rd February 2009, 13:53
it should be cool yeah, dont see why not.

Shocks + dampers = same thing mate, so can probably just buy a set of 4 Spax shocks for your VTR dude,
dont know what is the better end of Spax, I know there is PSX, VSX etc..

exhaust has been sorted, was a circular hole in the downpipe from the manifold. So just finished welding it up down at the scrapyard...

Also my dad just got a car come in scrap with a decent cd player so nabbed that and put it in mine... due to some pricks knicking my new cd player:(

so that has put a few bits right with the saxo...

main things now are...

roll cage
stripped
bucket seats
manifold, and new straight through exhaust
rear brake pads
de-lock
de-pin
engine transplant to a vts cammed up with headwork

obviously it will be steady progress but i aim to make it just how i want it

any other ideas are welcome

matt_vtr_15
1st April 2009, 10:32
stuck on whether to cam up or not now...

it really needs a new cambelt so considering doing it...

Or i don't know whether to save for a new vts engine...

The other is screwed and no good...

From out of the blue, these popped up, just had a right job in the blazing son swapping these over to my car and my rims onto fordy's car... was good fun...

All rims are in top condition apart from one which has slight kerbing but is not noticeable unless looked at from point blank range...

And thankyou for my wheeeeeelss

I agree It looks alot better although I don't really like the Exhuast.

I can't say i like it either, it is the main downfall to the car now imo.. will get it sorted in the next few months but there are other priorities atm...

Will get something that you can't see the big backbox section and a bit raspy i.e pugsport/supersprint..
