Well, finally decided to do a progress thread, as i could do with some help with ideas etc.
so this is the car when i bought it while still learning around 8 months ago
http://i43.tinypic.com/1fzarr.jpg
Completely Standard, bought from a neighbour with a family therefore knew it hadn't been abused

First things first
after looking around on Sax-p i liked the idea of black badges, so i set off and did those:
http://i44.tinypic.com/2h4ks2p.jpg

Nothing really much for a while after that, just focused on passing my test!

Kenco

18th March 2009, 00:08

Next thing was to sort out the diabolical standard speakers etc.
decided that i would stick to one company, which would be pioneer.
collected myself a set of pioneer front door speakers, pioneer headunit and pioneer sub, which although is nothing special, does the job for me.

After De-pinning the doors i managed to disconnect the central locking solenoid I took a trip to SparcoTom, who managed to fix it and then on became my local garage for parts and fixes.
after rummaging through his stuff he fitted a 106 rallye downpipe. no need for pictures, its a piece of metal :y:

Next up i decided to smoke the front lights

http://i41.tinypic.com/2q3vdw1.jpg

Not a great picture i know, but still, im sure you all know what smoked headlights look like...

so it stood like this for a while...

then came the snow, so i thought a picture was neccessary..

You passed your test now then?
car looks nice, alot of flat arches been coming through

Kenco

18th March 2009, 00:10

cheers mate, passed around 4 months ago
finally decided to make a progress thread
will get final pics up when i get round to it in a second!

Tom_Crx

18th March 2009, 00:15

Lol well done dude, jus started my progress thread too
take a peak (Y)

Kenco

18th March 2009, 00:15

anyway, next up i came across Adamski's thread on stripping his car
took alot of interest in his grille so i snapped that up :panic:, thanks again mate
much prefered it once fitted:

http://i42.tinypic.com/2lmtkjm.jpg

http://i41.tinypic.com/t86zd1.jpg

with this being done, it inspired me to get my arse into gear and look around more on the sax-p for sale section.

Kenco

18th March 2009, 00:29

With all this done, i decided to go ahead and grab myself an Ashley backbox, after looking around i decided this was the one for me.
initial fitment went pretty badly...

http://i41.tinypic.com/1j9stl.jpg

but after another trip to SparcoTom this was soon sorted

http://i44.tinypic.com/1626xc6.jpg

with this done i left it at that for a while.

Kenco

18th March 2009, 00:39

Next up Turbotom and I decided to do a trade; my mountain bike for a set of alloys and a pipercross induction kit.
with this deal done we fit the induction kit there and then.

the alloys were short lived though, as i decided that i wanted to keep my vtr alloys and instead refurbish them black and sell the ones from Turbotom
FOR SALE: http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=213472&highlight=Black+MultiSpoke+Alloys

Next up to go with the black badges and the smoked lights, i set about spraying the front grille mesh black

http://i39.tinypic.com/2zox4ih.jpg

much happier with it now

and here is how it stands for now after a good wash.

http://i42.tinypic.com/v3k8lu.jpg

Future plans are:
Supersprint centre section
Lowered
Black VTR wheel refurb
VT kit conversion

Kenco

19th March 2009, 00:39

Need some more ideas people
what are we thinking?

Saxy1

19th March 2009, 07:48

Good progress so far mate.

gary2008

19th March 2009, 07:54

Sneakydevil89

19th March 2009, 08:07

glad you finally got one of these up mate!
welcome to the flat arch crew :P

ideas sound good, your going in right direction
you thought about smoked standards or smoked jewels for the rear? they look really good on posi cars

Kenco

19th March 2009, 09:14

yeah man should be getting some smoked jewels when i find a stash of money
centre section comes first at the moment, as you know, mine is about to explode!
may be getting a vt kit off of Adamski with some birthday money i get!

Sneakydevil89

19th March 2009, 09:42

VT kit will look good, but there is a fair amount of work to fit one. its not hard really, just time consuming if you want it done properly.

sounds like your going in the right direction then!

Kenco

19th March 2009, 10:26

tomo2k8

19th March 2009, 10:28

willsy

26th March 2009, 09:55

Right
VT kit and Lowering are on the way, both in the next month hopefully :panic:

Coming along nicely mate, with the lowering and VT kit itll look like a completely different car :)

I can give you more advice on fitting the VT kit at the same time as the lowering too :y:

Kenco

28th March 2009, 18:59

collected these today!
http://i43.tinypic.com/11ujcpd.jpg
should be on in the very near future, although i want to get the vt kit on first...
opinions?
lower now?
or wait till vt kit first

Tom5190

29th March 2009, 10:14

lower now, whats the height drop you gone for? also how much they set you back?

stu-n-shell

29th March 2009, 10:16

lowwer now cause once youve cut the rear arches and the vt kit is on itl look even more like a monster truck.

Kenco

29th March 2009, 10:49

lowwer now cause once youve cut the rear arches and the vt kit is on itl look even more like a monster truck.

this is true mate!
yeah i will be getting it lowered asap tbh

Kenco

21st April 2009, 22:18

So, i havent updated this in a while
I finally got the exhaust sitting how i wanted it
http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt356/kenco_15/2009_0413car0002.jpg
it used to stick out like a dogs tail :panic:

Kenco

21st April 2009, 22:24

finally! the car has been lowered! I didn't want to go too low so i stuck to 40mm and 45mm (Thanks to Sparco_Tom for the front and Willsy and Lee_Vtr for the rear)
http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt356/kenco_15/2009_0419car0012.jpg
http://i42.tinypic.com/28akck9.jpg

i do have side shots, but i'm not keen on the way flatarch's look lowered
which only means one thing...

http://i41.tinypic.com/2ccxgyx.jpg

http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt356/kenco_15/2009_0420car0005.jpg

Offered by Sparco_Tom for a bargain price so i couldn't resist!!
as long as the weather holds up i will be giving this a go over the weekend! :drink:

wigansaxo

21st April 2009, 22:28

PSPDan

21st April 2009, 22:29

Kenco

21st April 2009, 22:30

Little Update
From this...

http://i42.tinypic.com/28akck9.jpg

To this...

http://i44.tinypic.com/11hav86.jpg

I think it looks much better colour coded!

willsy

21st April 2009, 22:35

Glad you were pleased with the lowering results mate :y: It was really nice and easy, always fear the worst with older cars but so far theyve proved to be more kind to us strangely :)

Bet you cant wait to get the VT kit on now

Kenco

21st April 2009, 22:35

As requested a picture from the side

http://i42.tinypic.com/11qqmao.jpg

as i said, im not keen on how flat arches look lowered, doesnt look quite right, which means i cant wait to get the vt kit on!

Sneakydevil89

22nd April 2009, 07:05

going to look spot on with the kit on now i feel ;)
and as i said, that colour coded boot popper looks cool.

Kenco

23rd April 2009, 19:12

picked this up yesterday
along with Koni Adjustable rear shocks
the red was looking a little flakey so i gave it a little treatment
http://i41.tinypic.com/2vuaey9.jpg

Kenco

23rd April 2009, 19:25

well after the vt kit (should be on this weekend!) i will probably focus on making the engine bay look nice and clean, once thats done, who knows!

sammyd

23rd April 2009, 19:36

Sneakydevil89

Kenco

Kenco

24th April 2009, 18:15

Well i started the VT kit this afternoon!
i have never been so stressed over something in my entire life
an absolute ball ache but i am looking forward to the final results
how its looking atm..
http://i39.tinypic.com/33ekbwg.jpg

Sneakydevil89

25th April 2009, 08:36

have you stuck on that front arch properly? looks a bit loose at the bottom?
is gunna loko sweet when its on though :P i love driving around in a VT kitted car, you instantly get more looks (helps if your car looks like a badger/panda as well lol)

Kenco

25th April 2009, 08:44

haha nah i havent stuck the front arch on yet, just clipped in so i get an idea of how it will look bud!
im happy so far, however much of a pain in the arse it is!

willsy

25th April 2009, 08:59

Best of luck with the progress today mate, i hope the weather is much better where you are than it is here

Had a look at the arch pic that you sent too.

So the arch bit and the flat bit go in place ok, but the bit in the middle where it changes direction seems a bit out of shape and wont hold itself in place?

Does it push in to position ok still when you hold it in place and then move back outwards when you move away?

2 options really: a new panel thats still in perfect shape (blue one shouldnt be tricky to find) or you could park the side of the car by a wall if theres somewhere handy. Put some of the sealant behind that point, then place a cloth on the panel so the paintwork doesnt get marked and then with a length of wood prop it between the panel and the wall so that it pushes the panel firmly against the car whilst the sealant sets.

After that especially if youre using tiger seal or something similar it should stick solidly in place.

Kenco

25th April 2009, 09:10

Nah it doesn't push into place as it starts to crack, as someone has grinded away the concaved bit of the arch itself
i think i will just get a new rear arch, can't cost that much!

AlexB

25th April 2009, 09:17

saw this beifly in flatarch form just after lowering (you wont have seen me i was in an astra twintop) it looked pretty smart man
with vt kit on shoudl be nice man

willsy

25th April 2009, 09:26

Nah it doesn't push into place as it starts to crack, as someone has grinded away the concaved bit of the arch itself
i think i will just get a new rear arch, can't cost that much!

Oh right bloody ell.

Yeah id find a new bit of kit then, the blue is relatively common should be able to pick one up for £20 in good condition :y:

Ill keep an eye out for any that are for sale for you

Mint-VTR

25th April 2009, 11:45

looking nice, keep the pics coming..

Kenco

25th April 2009, 18:37

well, the vt kit is pretty much all on, side skirts tomorow and the finishing touches followed by a good clean to remove all the adhesive that decided to go everywhere :panic:
two months ago my car was looking like this...
http://i41.tinypic.com/2q3vdw1.jpg

now more along the lines of this...
http://i43.tinypic.com/wspon4.jpg
really happy so far with the vt kit, other than the odd panel not being flush with the shell... just hope everything else goes to plan.

Kenco

25th April 2009, 18:49

another small update the strut brace is now fitted
http://i40.tinypic.com/9aa4pi.jpg
:y:

davidandrews5343

25th April 2009, 19:00

really good progress mate, one suggestion, how about a mk1 vts spoiler, also fitted to westcoasts (well mine does).

not a great pic, a year old, but u get the idea

http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/davidandrews5343/Saxo/Photo-0091.jpg

Kenco

25th April 2009, 19:11

Oh and def a Mk1 Spoiler

cheers man!!
really happy with it so far
yeah fogs etc were no problem at all
and thats just a cheeky little cold air feed to the induction kit
i will be getting mirror caps soon
and possibly some sort of spoiler, depends on money tbh!!

bez_123

25th April 2009, 20:13

Kenco

26th April 2009, 09:07

willsy

26th April 2009, 09:09

Cant wait to see the finished result mate :y: alot of hard work but itll look great when you stand back and admire it :)

olly_vts

Sneakydevil89

26th April 2009, 22:12

knew youd enjoy it! even though it is a pain, i loved it tbh!

Kenco

27th April 2009, 11:19

quick question...
can anyone reccomend a decent, yet fairly priced alarm?
any help will be thanked
cheers

Sneakydevil89

27th April 2009, 11:48

ill be getting one in mine shortly so i can let you know which one and what when its done?

Kenco

27th April 2009, 17:42

cool cheers man

a 106 around thame got a tub of gloss white paint chucked on it recently

gary2008

27th April 2009, 17:50

looks nice mate:y:

DannoWilko

27th April 2009, 18:04

Brilliant result, started mine this weekend, should look good, did you use tiger seal to fit it or clips

Kenco

27th April 2009, 18:07

i used a combination of all the useable clips left on the kit, which there were quite a few.. and stuff called 'serious stuff' its like a waterproof adhesive, it seemed okay, just didnt like the fact it was white and theres bits of white popping our of some of the panels, they will be gone when i get round to it, just its raining loads and i dont fancy it in the rain!!! :panic:

PORKYSBITZ

27th April 2009, 18:12

looks A* mate just needs a spoiler now

Kenco

27th April 2009, 23:17

cheers mate, appreciated!! :y:

Kenco

28th April 2009, 18:54

Important
possibly new driveshafts needed,
anyone got any going cheap?

Kenco

29th April 2009, 11:55

i gave the car a good clean before fitting the vt kit
and here were the results
(only got one pic :cry: )
http://i43.tinypic.com/dvijx1.jpg
ooh shiney :y:

Lippy

17th May 2009, 21:01

Sneakydevil89

17th May 2009, 21:43

i can tell you that it went all gravy and he is loving listening to his extreme classical beats at max volume now :)

Ok, maybe not extreme classical, maybe bit of bodom ey?? lol ;)

Kenco

18th May 2009, 10:53

that looks really shiney! looks like you did a really good job on the VT kit bud! How did it go in the end after i spoke to you earlier?

Only 1 thing that I would change about your car and its really small, and that would be the ram air pipe in the front grill, dont know why but just not a fan.

haha thanks man
the blue bit of the air intake is now sprayed black, which is alot more subtle and therefore looks better, alot has changed on my car i just cba to update this! i will later on though...

J222JRA

18th May 2009, 10:55

u have made a nice job of that mate, can imagine its was a pain in the arse to fit lol

rudeboiross

18th May 2009, 22:53

definetly gave me inspiration when i saw it to VT kit mine!

Sneakydevil89

19th May 2009, 08:42

need some pics up of your lip on your alloys and i didnt know you had BMC?

and just noticed, what did simo say you've won?

Kenco

19th May 2009, 10:04

haha simo said i won an e-marsbar ;)
pics up in a sec of new bits and bobs done to the car

Kenco

19th May 2009, 10:29

okay so i decided to change the vtr wheels as they were looking a tad sad and boring,
so the sanding commenced!
http://i43.tinypic.com/2z4ke3r.jpg
then obviously after a long time sanding, they were primered, but you all know what that looks like :panic:
then came the coats of black, missing the lip as they would be done after...
http://i42.tinypic.com/5361x1.jpg
following that, once the black was dry the lip was sprayed which proved to be an absolute ball ache!!
http://i41.tinypic.com/2jd5b9s.jpg
once this was all done, the lacquer was applied and they were left to dry.
once dried i couldnt wait to fit them and here they are!
http://i39.tinypic.com/2iaq5xi.jpg
http://i40.tinypic.com/avirtx.jpg
(once i had finished the wheels i noticed CazLad also had a posiblue sax with black vtrs with a yellow pinstripe :wall: :wall: :wall: ahh well sorry bud!)

once again feel free to leave comments, good or bad :y:

Kenco

19th May 2009, 10:34

Recently bought some Focal Access front components
pics will be up soon :)

Sneakydevil89

19th May 2009, 10:57

very nice, got a great finish on them too!
just noticed you need some posi mirror caps now and it will look schweet..er

Kenco

19th May 2009, 11:05

yeah, im tempted by some 106 mirrors like yours though,
ahh who knows im getting my audio sorted then i shall carry on with all the other bits and bobs!

Lippy

19th May 2009, 20:51

alloys look like a good job has been done on them! slightly confused by the yellow lip though? the car is blue and yellow is a hell of a contrast

Kenco

19th May 2009, 22:18

i like the blue black and yellow combo personally!
i think blue and yellow go quite well, therefore the strutbrace, lip and citroen sport badges are yellow :y:

Lippy

19th May 2009, 23:19

cool! didnt realise you had other stuff in yello! so whats next on the stereo side of things? have you got a sub or sub amp yet?

Kenco

20th May 2009, 10:02

haha yea.
i currently have a standard pioneer sub that supplies a little bass
the amp is the biggest pile of balls though..
so next up are JL 12w0-4's and when i find the right one a nice, well built 4 channel amp, most probably JL again.

it's wierd as until i took a trip to my local audio specialist i had no intentions on changing any of my audio lol

Kenco

20th May 2009, 10:06

forgot!
also an alpine headunit will be acquired as i need the 4 rca preouts
at the moment my headunit has an rca splitter, but that means i cant use a high pass filter as the front comps and the sub are pretty much joined together by it :cry:

Lippy

20th May 2009, 18:49

I just sold a high voltage line driver for £50 that was £89 new and it was only 2 months old :( that would have solved your problem...
Im well impressed with my alpine unit i just bought! good clarity! ipod control is a bit on the slow side though!

Sneakydevil89

20th May 2009, 20:26

Im sure he wont mind me saying this...but his car has been WRITTEN OFF.

He phoned me and sounds very shaken to be honest. Im not going to go into detail as its not my place to, but just to let everyone know he is ok and it wasnt his fault. Some neck pains, but hopefully nothing serious.

Im sure he will update you all shortly in full, but for now i think we should all wish him well and just be thankful he isnt seriously injured.

I will miss this car. It was awesome. Couldnt have happened to a nicer guy either.

Kenco

21st May 2009, 11:00

Lippy

24th May 2009, 23:20

Shit dude sorry to hear that! hopefully you will get alot of write off money for it and make a claim for whiplash by the sounds, might be able to get a VTR and at least that way the kit will already be there and you can transplant stuff from the written off car?

man before you registered it as written off you should have transfered the reg to another car because you will now loose it :(

if you were to sell it you would have made few quid?

soz to hear about it

Kenco

24th May 2009, 23:53

The car isnt written off yet. the garage will be taking it away on tuesday and no doubt it will be a write off so yeah i plan to transfer the number plate :y:
N160 has nothing to do with me but hey, the end is cool..

sammyd

25th May 2009, 00:01

yeah man its £80 to transfer and re reg the car i think unless its £160 all in

so i had a smoking session recently!
fronts, sides, and the grille is now black

http://i39.tinypic.com/54u4l.jpg

http://i44.tinypic.com/dnc3h1.jpg

As you can see in the top picture, the person before me decided to spray the grille a creamy/off- white colour, so i decided to just spray the whole lot, i may do the chevrons white though... opinions?

http://i43.tinypic.com/14wbp1d.jpg

Kenco

18th June 2009, 16:43

also fitted new rear numberplate bulbs, they look shit in the picture but they are highly visible in person

Kenco

18th June 2009, 16:55

looks nice mate.

one thing i would do though is spray all the bumpstrips gloss black as the colourcoding is pretty shocking, no where near a good match.

lovely car though with great potential.

btw i have some gloss black mirror caps for sale if your interested.

yeah im definately getting the bump strips sorted. they all fail at matching lol
im stuck between gloss black or a perfect white though...
i know not many are keen on the white colour coded but i personally like it!
gloss black would be porn though...

I think do the side bumpstrips black as well if you are keeping the front and rear black. But as said above, colour coded is win ;)

Looks good though, I like the front bumper :y:

Kenco

15th July 2010, 22:14
