Very nice, done a great job on those wheels :y:

lovely, like the newly sprayed. just really not keen on the tints tbh.

no too keen on the the wheels that colour.

i agree with al it looked alot better silver.

Payney
22nd July 2007, 20:39
IMO, silver on silver isn't the greatest ever, but didn't look to bad.

Although as said, prefer the colour you've had. ;)

lol that was my mate marking the wheel he masked, mine had 'novice' written on it

ill have to get some better pics up at somepoint as these are mostly quite dark. i agree they will be like marmite but theyve impressed me in the flesh and im this cars biggest critic tbh :homme:

dsh85
25th July 2007, 21:04

Everyone always agrees with me in the end... :P they still look nice... just think the silver wheels worked better with your car.. looked a lot fresher.. :y:

Now sell them to me.. so i can spray them silver :p

Skorpion
25th July 2007, 21:07
Its like the splitter all over again!!

jonesyFX
25th July 2007, 21:25
looking good my son

its those little touches that can make or break a car, and your pulling them off so keep it up ;)

dsh85
25th July 2007, 21:35
lol the old splitter debate, thats going back coded but a less rushed attempt as i like the deepness it gives,

ive give it a right cleaning over last 2 days, machine polished with industrial
g10 and autoglym super resin. its shinging but the wheels are making it dull!!

just a little unsure on wether a simple silver paint such as bmw silver for example would work well enough, or will i have to cough up for hi power'd by pros... hmmm

Skorpion
25th July 2007, 21:37
Need to get it back to the picture you just sent me on msn mate! Clean look goes superb with this car! C/C splitter then your laughing!

29th July 2007, 23:43

Kelly
30th July 2007, 08:10
I really like it Danny the wheels make the car look meaner. It has my vote :y:

Karl
30th July 2007, 10:17
Eeek! she looks mean.

I love it!! :D top motor Danny

Luke
30th July 2007, 11:31
I preferred it with them silver, I think it spoils the look now.

Wayne
30th July 2007, 12:22
looks very smart mate:y::P

dsh85
30th July 2007, 15:16
cheers viper!! your cameras ace!

the wheels dont look too bad actually in a few pictures, however i still think there too dark, been thinking along the lines of a lighter grey colour and removing the tints once and for all. maybe coding te headlights same as wheels

theres a few ideas bouncing around at the moment anyway lol

Skorpion

Looks mint there mate. as said love the tints on yours. Wheels work wheel with them aswell!

Hopcraft
30th July 2007, 16:47
really nice pic viper ! yeah i like the rims, but a little lighter could work, yes. .

2nd August 2007, 20:39
Fresssshen up my friend!!

im sure youve heard that in the toilets on a saturday night before! well im taking the bog trolls advice
too much black on the car imo, thought id test an old method although this dosent mean its staying like this!!

in my opinion i like the whole look a lot better like this, but plenty of plans before trax although what direction to go im unsure off!

i think possibly i may just post up the new bits and bobs i will be getting over the coming weeks and then turn up to trax with whatever goes haha

Skorpion
2nd August 2007, 21:10
Loving the car as it looks now mate.

Be interesting to see what changes you make!

dsh85
2nd August 2007, 21:17
i couldnt say what changes i will make yet it wont be anything major!! bodywork will always stay pretty subtle as it is now

engine work ahoy, interior ahoy, general restoration in weird areas to spotless condition ahoy.

stuff like that

Yates
2nd August 2007, 21:20
i know all the plans

Skorpion
2nd August 2007, 21:28
Danny tells me nothing! Sucks!

Yates

craig180
2nd August 2007, 21:41
Danny I loved the way your car looked last weekend. Seems kinda old skoolif you know what I mean?

I would personally leave it exactly as is but concentrate on tidying up the bits that seem to get neglected during car ownership. Concourse future classic ahoy???

leeroybrown
2nd August 2007, 22:03
Tried telling him that Craig

Doesnt work lol

Adum
2nd August 2007, 22:16
I want your wheels!!!

Sean
2nd August 2007, 22:17
looks way better with the mk2 lights on son, the wheels look gash though so you should sell me them and continue with your plans. :)

Payney
2nd August 2007, 22:19
I'd have to say the smoked looked better.... As the MK2s look out of place imo.

reddysaxo
2nd August 2007, 23:55
stunnin car ya got there matey :y:

Dan
3rd August 2007, 09:47
Think they would look better with all the tints removed.

bloz
3rd August 2007, 09:56
Danny the car is looking nice, I was hoping mine would be back for TRAX as its been off road since Nurburg but still no luck with the ECU its gone back off to the specialist again because its over fueling now and drowning the engine.

Karl
3rd August 2007, 10:30
prefer it with silver wheels dude :/

jonesyFX
3rd August 2007, 12:13
get the smoked rears back on!

you know what i think, you should make the effort to clean it more often:P

dsh85
3rd August 2007, 15:24
still think the wheels are too dark myself tbh, its just the thought of going for a light grey or back silver!

same with the tints in certain looks i think maybe they would be better without them but i think the car would be missing something without them. its just the fact the wheels have made the car look a whole darker

your a fussy bunch to please :p but honest opinions are wat i like to hear!

Wayne
3rd August 2007, 15:35
looks really smart mate:y:

rushy_23
3rd August 2007, 17:06
Well first off just get rid of the tints! They make some real nice cars look so wank imo!

I do agree Danny mate, wheels do seem a little dark, almost look black! (aka typical
chav meeting his buddies at DcMonalds)

Maybe a lighter shade might be spot on? But that means more money I guess,
so dont blame me if you get it done and dont like it lol.

dsh85
3rd August 2007, 20:03
lol chav!!

ill have to be having words with my mate and try persuade him to get that spray gun back out! at least all the base equipments already bought just need the colour!

Yates
3rd August 2007, 20:06
tints are shit

dannyjay
3rd August 2007, 20:11
Lose the tints, and then see how you feel about the wheels!

If not, get some Dare X1s :P

Skorpion
3rd August 2007, 20:51
Still say loose the tints mate and see how the car looks. Would go well once you got the leather inside aswell! :y:

Tints are cheaper than re-spraying wheels if you change your mind!

dsh85
3rd August 2007, 21:06
paint costs £12.50 ;)

dannyjay
3rd August 2007, 21:17

Well we cant all get stuff done for free!

You had any p/shops done yet of different colour silvers on the wheels?

Baz
3rd August 2007, 22:25

Yellow wheels ftw:y:

dsh85
5th August 2007, 09:55
that no problem luke, a lot of people i think will but after a year and half of that theme theres no were really i can go from there onwards, if i had a vtr it would be the perfect excuse to get a vts and start again but i dont have that option.

so im gonna go along a whole new line and try some diffrent stuff. and change the look of the car

consider it a new start :p i think what i will do is post updates of parts etc but not actual pics till trax,

Skorpion
5th August 2007, 11:19

oz_borne
16th August 2007, 21:21
looks good and the wheels are definately a good change, when you've had it like it was for so long things need updating. Spelndid job too mate.

u know i use yours for inspiration, but i won't be doing much to mine!

:A:

Yates
16th August 2007, 21:26

29th August 2007, 21:17
French Car Show to Trax! the changes explained
ok ok, where to start!
going into fcs i had the sole idea in my head of selling up until that show changed my mind well and truely. as much as it was a nice car i was tired of the same look which im sure many of you can understand.anyways i decided that i would keep the car as i loved the driveability and good all round running costs this car was giving me, plus a little bit of the saxo has become a part of me over the last 3 years! so then....

the plan was to attack three aspects of the car in order to freshen up the car and make it feel like it was a new start in effect, but all in a subtle way as always!!

-Engine/Performance
-Interior
-External

let the pictures begin!

Engine/performance

Leaving FCS im sure you all heard me and my split exhaust, this needed to be fixed and set the ball rolling. purchased a full magnex from c8james and sold my old backbox, follwing this came a janspeed 4-2-1 manifold
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/DSC00792.jpg
this was then heat wrapped
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/DSC00796.jpg
and sprayed with high temp black paint
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/100_2216.jpg
big thanks to yates,leeroy and shauny for helping me get this done into the late hours!
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/100_2218.jpg
another change that day was to remove the resinator box and have a straight through cold air feed to the filter, which can kinda be seen in thee pics when i gave the engine a brisk clean over. nothign matt yates style
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/DSCN1031.jpg
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/DSCN1041-1.jpg
this will most likely be further cleaned before trax, although i have no real plans to show the bay so pointless?? lol
problems have occured however with the manifold not liking being lowered 60mm, its hanging very low and making the exhaust follow suit. its does not like bumps of any kind and will probably see itself on its way after trax for me to find a more suitable replacement! shame!
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/DSC00818.jpg
xantia v6 discs and new pads are sat in the garage waiting till after trax to hopefully stop the brembo squeel!! 2 new 195/40/16 toyo proxes have been ordered also
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/DSCN0969.jpg
thats about it for the perfomance so far, cams should be arriving this week i hear.

so watch this space

dsh85
29th August 2007, 21:18
Interior
time to update the stock standard vts interior now it was no longer hidden behind tints

out she comes
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/100_2193.jpg
getting carried away tbh
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/100_2195.jpg
carpets out also and were raplaced by later dark grey version thanks to matt
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/100_2196.jpg
in they go
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/100_2214.jpg
doorcards to suit
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/100_2198.jpg
new custom fit mats arrived which look great, ill get a pic up tomorrow of it all in place hopefully!

dsh85
29th August 2007, 21:19
External
The last picture i left you with was of this
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/DSC00750.jpg
the wheels being resprayed in a dark grey which does a very good impression of black, this was generally down to the wheels needing a refurb, i had also played with mk2 standard rears there. anywayy next step

window tints became an issue after recieving a healthy fine, also they were getting a bit on the worn side so decided to take the plunge
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/DSC00760.jpg
much cleaner looking imo!

now this is a lesson to people who drive sundays still tired from going out the night before, how i managed to not see the parked up massive van i do not know, anyway add it to the list
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/DSC00816.jpg
it was nice of my mate to also circle it in permanant marker before i caught him writing something

anyhow bank holiday monday came and time to put the plans together, it turned up on the morning clean and as so..
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/DSCN1029.jpg
work begins
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/DSCN1034.jpg
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/DSCN1037.jpg
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/DSCN1039.jpg
and putting the bits back together
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/DSCN1042.jpg
new plates also
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/DSCN1045.jpg
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/DSCN1043.jpg
trial fitted the splitter whilst it was still a bit wet was risky but im an eager beaver tbh. obv exhaust will have to be lowered down slightly
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/Progress/DSCN1047.jpg

that should be it for trax, splitter and smooth boot lip will be fitted properly within the next couple of days now the paint will be dry, quite dissapointed we didnt attack the weird door panel in time but that can be done afterwards, its more of a photo reaction than an in person one anyhow!

as for the wheel colour its massively grew on me, i dont think photos do it any justice what so ever, it has to be seen in person. so i guess ill be seeing yous on september 2nd ;)

that will be me for now anyways but definately not over, lovin the saxo more than ever actually in parts :panic:

29th August 2007, 21:22
Looking tasty mate. Glad you havent sold up. I have same problem with my manifold. Got no heat wrap left on the bottom bit.lol

dannyjay
29th August 2007, 21:24
Looking fantastic Danny, looking forward to seeing it at TRAX. Love it. :y:

29th August 2007, 21:30
Yeh the 4-1s tend to droop a bit lower than the 4-2-1's, it doesnt fare well with low cars :sad:

So the xantia discs arent on yet? Would be interesting to see if they do reduce the squeal. There are some drilled & groved xantia discs on that parts website too. Dont know if they would still be un-squealy though.

Yeh the 4-1s tend to droop a bit lower than the 4-2-1's, it doesnt fare well with low cars :sad:

So the xantia discs arent on yet? Would be interesting to see if they do reduce the squeal. There are some drilled & groved xantia discs on that parts website too. Dont know if they would still be un-squealy though.

thats what worried me too mate, otherwise id have snapped them up. i think i also heard people may have got the discs from diffrent places and they havent worked so i stuck with the proven method hopefully.

im going to squeel round silverstone anyway, may aswell put the wear on them ones, no one has any excuse to miss me coming therefore!

Yeh probably best that way tbh, the grooved and drilled ones might aswell be gti180 ones probably. Might try them one day if noone else ever does, got a set of the xantia v6 ones to fit atm.

What did you use to sort the paintwork? & wtf is "mr sleepy" lol

Cars lookin ace, as always btw.

dannys is a 4-2-1

Right enough, barely a 4-2-1, but a 4-2-1 none the less. Although it follows the same shape as the 4-1's which is why it hangs down further than if the 4 into 2 join was closer to the middle of the manifold.

Holiday at xmas has taken all my pennys, so it would have to happen after then. Tempted to sell the car at that time tho. Altho isnt really many cars i want that i fancy running to work everyday and use on the motorway so might keep the paxo and invest a bit of cash into it.

The End of the road.............

well on wednesday 7th december 2005 this came into my life

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/dsh85/5627ecf7.jpg

and today, saturday 17th novermber 2007 i waved goodbye :(

its really sad to see it go but i knew inside it was time for a change, its heading for its new home now in crewe, so keep an eye out for it if you live there!!
currently im not sure on what i want next but with 2 weeks until the christmas party and no car. i best get a move on!

will i ever see it again? i hope so! the car has been my life for the last two years and opened a lot of new doors for me in a weird kinda way!
ill never really say a bad word about a saxo, sure they are better cars in ways but its been a ace 2 years of ownership!! i wouldnt rule out going back at somepoint either!

anyway thought id take some farewell photos, but in tru dsh85 style, the battery gave in on the camera! twice! so there limited!

When i drove it the other day thought something was up cos it didnt seem to pull as hard as i thought

TBH what is the code number that is coming up

I'd put it down to MAF sensor or coil pack common problem on VAG engines

lol, im going to get you one of those fault code readers when i get mine back, get it posted!!!!!!!!!

danni - still waiting on some MMS pics of it

Nice DSH, i think a TT is one of the few cars that tempts me within a reasonable budget.

What are the book figured for it then? It the daddy or is that the 3.2 V6 one?
