Fiona the posi furio 16v, New pics page 5

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Thought i would make a progress thread atlast. Well had many of cars since passing my test 4 years and a day ago and my last car was my mk1 vtr which got wrote off badly but since that i bought a 02 posi furio last september.

Old vtr:

I bought the car from Kings lynn if any of you know where that is and i live in Norwich so drove it home which took around an hour and soon as i parked up in the garden those wheels came off and these went on:

http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk36/r155urv/DSCI0010.jpg

I was using the car daily for work and going here and there and a squeeky noise started coming from the back and i could see the wheels wobbling around in the mirror! so i checked the rear axle and it was total and utter shot! so i decided to get my old vtr axle and fit a new stub pin and fit:

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

I have also stuck on posi blue mirror cap covers. Just before christmas i bought a dimma grill and sprayed posi blue and fitted, also put in my blacked out rear lights from my old vtr. Oh also bought 40mm spax front lowering springs but they are still sitting in my boot waiting to be fitted as i cant loosen my torsion so im not going to put the front 40mm down with the back up........ I havnt taken any pictures lately with all the other stuff done but i will do soon and post them up. AAHH i have the rear windows fitted from my old vtr too just because i had WWW.SAXPERIENCE.COM on them :D:D New number plates with a blue boarder and GB badge as a stone cracked my old front one (think the blue boarder and GB badge looks good on a posi blue saxo).

I still have lots of future plans:
40mm all round
106 gti full leather interior
16V conversion or 8V (still considering because the 8V are stronger although the 16V is that bit quicker).
drilled and grooved disks
spray headlight inserts black
omp upper strut and lower brace
may put MK1 spoiler on? (give me opinions on that).
cam which ever engine i choose and remap
full stainless decat and manifold if i can get hold of them
and more bits and peices.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Nobody like?

[Bound]

I like the wheels you put on, and really don't like the old wheels!

Also, not keen at all on the exhaust.

3rd Posi blue you've had isn't it? :D.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Sure is lol had a posi vsx posi vtr n now the furio, the furio looks a darker blue than the vtr??? is there 2 different colours? The exhaust came with the car but i intend to put another one on maybe the 5" one off my vtr. You think the hole vtr setup would bolt on? the furio has the cat in the manifold.

[MIITCH]

looks good mate

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

More updates to come on this :P a big one at that.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

I hav'nt updated for a fair while but il post pics up of what i have done since the last time, I will let the pics do most of the talking.............

Mat blacked the light inserts.

The dimma grill was fitted aswell and a few other little bits like front down 40mm still waiting to do the rear but the biggest thing done is this..........................

Looking good mate :y: i live in kings lynn btw ;)

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

after having the engine being fitted the trottle wedfged opened so i had to stop on the side of the road and remove the airbox and pipe to find that one of the little bolts with the star head that holds the butterly in place had somehow came out, obviously i didnt know where it had gone so it was a risk to start the car again incase it had gone internal but i risked it and it ran ok so there i was nearly home and it cut out and started with one hell of a rattle so a mate towed me home. I did a compression test and it was down...... the bolt had got in and done the head, the anoying part is when i put the engine in it was running on 3 cylinders so i stripped the head and put back together and it turned out to be an injector down and this happened less than a week after the head was fitted up so iv had to head gaskets in less than a week. Il let the pics do the talking.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Im a norwich boy but my other half live in kings lynn a fair bit! Her had did the engine conversion for me there lol.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Oh as the bolt had inbedded itself into the head and somehow broke the cam lobe without bending the valves i decided to go to Cit-ren and get a second hand head with the cams, it came with the dipstick tube which i was in need of and a set of cam covers so i now have 3 sets of them! i cleaned the bottom end up and the head so it was all ready to put together and the next day i cracked on and nailed it but struggled with the timing abit as my marks didnt align up somehow but i dont know how, anyway i did it the proper way by locking the crank with a 6mm drill but and then locking the cams. When all of this was done it wouldnt start but that turned out to be the ecu had locked so i put the old 1.4 ecu and to my suprise it started fine and it has done since its just abit slower.

[s555dan]

Unlucky pal hope u get it fixed

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

What do you all think of it so far? Its took me a while but its getting there!

[Bound]

Mate, that looks ace. Good job on that ;D.

Replaced the rear brakes to? - Got discs now? Or VTS brake set up all round? :D.

Just lower it now man, smoked lights look ace too :D.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

I forgot to add abit, the car also has drilled and grooved disks alrounds "grilled and dooved" and 2 days after the 16v conversion this happened to my door, the pic is off the car.

http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk36/r155urv/DSCI0020-1.jpg

A mates sister reversed out of there garden straight into my door! i was gutted but the good thing was my mate went the next day and got a posi blue door off a mk1 westcoast and i took the car round his when i had finished work so his dad could fit the new door. The colour match is perfect you wouldnt even know its been changed!

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Yep it has a vtr rear disc axle, i looked into the front brakes and the furio fronts are the same as the vtr so i then looked into the difference btween vtr and vts and they are the same again according to the apec braking book but i put new brakes front and rear so in theory it has vts brake setup apart from ABS.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

What are your opinions to what should be next?

[twist]

get the vtr exhaust system on mate, and if it doesnt fit... make it!

[Bound]

Unlucky on the door mate.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

I have now got a working fuel guage, I have made a guide on how i fixed it search "fuel gauge fix" in the problems and queries.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

A few more pictures i took a week or so ago.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

You can see the drivers door is a perfect match in colour and wouldnt even notice its been changed! I also have a short bee stink arial now but not chav style.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

I have now fitted a 16v rad so it can keep cooler :D thanks to JRC1 for selling me his old one. Nice one buddy.

Update of car its now got my old mk1 VTR full exhaust from down pipe to rear and the saxo is going in for its MOT in the morning so we will see how she gets on.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

The saxo passed its MOT with advisorys exhaust corroded bad which i know about lol and a slight leak :D I also fitted 2 new driveshafts a couple of weeks ago so its had alot of money now spent on it and getting there!! Il post up new pics later its had abit of a clean you may all despise of the towbar but hey its going to be a removable one.

[Jas_saxo]

looking good fella
i love my furio to bits

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Jas_saxo 16v it one day you will love it!

As some of you may know a few weeks after the 16v lump was in i got a serious vibration it shook the front of the dvd face off and broke the connection, dash was shaking bad........... its been like it just over a month and last week i changed the top gearbox mount and the lower rear one seemed fine and so did the actual engine mount but today it really got on my nerves so i thought sod it this was quarter past 9 tonight i put a jack under the engine to support it (had the hastle of driving onto a bit of wood to raise the front to get the jack under) i undone the 2 13mm bolts to discover the bolt that holds the mount to the bracket had snapped :D iv got a 1.4 mount and vtr so i simple changed it and fitted up and its cured it!!! i thought it would be a right bitch to take on but no its easy so if any of you ever think nah im not taking it on just do it it took me half hour. Tools you will need are 13mm socket, a ratchet, extension for the ratch around 4inches long and a T50 star bit also obviously a jack to suport the engine. Its a little tricky to get the mount back in when attached to the bracket but juck the engine up higher and it goes in easy.

Another tool you will need is a T30 star bit and a new mount either orange or green with the bolt as the old one will be snapped...

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Iv still got alot to do and it will get done in time.

Lower the rear
upper and lower strut braces
full supersprint
16v ecu
gti leather interior
maybe VTS alloys in white
tint the rear windows

Iv still got alot to work on and more things i want to do just cant think of them.

If anyone has any ideas what else to do let me know. I will post more pics up soon when i get batterys for the camera...........

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

[jeffchiz]

looks really good buddy, need to sort out a new rear bumper though lol

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Its on ther cards lol. Thinking of camming it and having a remap in time, need to sort the ecu first though.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Any things people think i should do? I want to do a few cheap things because im abit skint at the moment.... until monday.

[saxomad197]

look good mat your cams covers really cleaned need to repaint mine. looks good so far 16v lot better than 8v my gf got vtr drive that to but when drive my car something their puts a smile on my face

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

New lowered axle fitted, now it sits rather low.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

A few updates, Iv now got a 106 1.5 diesel center pipe on so it has one silencer where that cat should be.

A new gear linkage (part with the ball) also the little bushes that go into the bottom of the gear stick.

Towbar removed.

Pic of the saxo as it stands at the moment.
http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk36/r155urv/saxo.jpg

Comments welcome.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Iv now also got standard VTS door badges fitted now aswell.
I wanted something that lit up when i locked the car with the remote so i had a mad idea and got a rear window brake light from a saxo and removed all the surround so its got the 5 bulbs, i then put it between the roof lining and the roof so it was above the interior mirror (not noticable the slightest due to the black round the window screen) i then wired it to the passenger side door central locking so that when i now lock/unlock the car iv got 5 lights light up along the top of the window screen. Will have pics of this when i get the chance.

[vtr-xox]

its amazing what a bit of lowering can do looks stunning now :)

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Since owning it a year its changed alot, the only thing left that is furio is the interior!

[ryza]

your rear axle looks fucked in the 5th picture down.
you should give it a good check over unless i'm wrong :)
i mean lots of camber by the way

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Yup it does have camber all depending how its parked, passenger side arm has play so its recon axle time soon :D. I want to try and replace everything new or recon.

[nelson-swfc]

Your exhaust cut in the bumper looks quite big or is it just me ? Or because its a slightly small exhaust ?

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

It had a twin exhaust when i bought it but since i have changed it so its left an untidy cut so im in need of a good bumper if anybody has one??

[nelson-swfc]

Ahh thought it had been. Sorry im jus a picky bastard.

[ryza]

ah, shame about the axle but more goes wrong the less you've got to replace :p
good luck mate mate it look good :)

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Found another pic i think is good i like it :D
http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk36/r155urv/untitled.jpg

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Slow progress but next on the cards is going to be a new ecu. My bro has his old classic car in the garage and its been there 8 years but its now time to move it so the garage will be empty :D I will put putting the saxo off the road for a few days and fitting uprated cams, full adjustable suspension along with a refurbed axle. The engine will be coming out again and the engine bay resprayed, wax oiled underneath.... list goes on but there should be a good few updates in a month or twos time.

Pic off the old beast coming out of the garage to make way for me to get the saxo in

[MunkyBoy]

I remember when you had your arse high in the air :P Looks so much better dragging it bottom. :)

Have you fitted a vtr ecu yet? You need to take some of the tint of the rear lights though! I remember when I was following you, you can barely see they are on!

[jackomc999]

did you do the grill and headlights yourself> looks good

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Its much better dragging its arse lol but the axle has soon worn bad over the bumps where i live, iv now got camber on the drivers side and alot of play in the passenger. I like the lights that dark lol its only in day light you cant see them... The plod have never ever told me they are ilegal they were more concerned out the number plates being ilegal lol fools. I hear your doing some smoothing on the chalkboard???

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

did you do the grill and headlights yourself> looks good

I bought the grill of ebay in white and sprayed it posi blue and did the lights a while ago, i used the guide on here putting them in the oven, I sort of left one of them in abit too long and its started to melt the bottom bracket lol. I wasnt too sure weather i liked the grill or lights done at first but they have grown on me and look alot more agressive. To be honest i was never a fan of the mk2 front end but i actually love it now. I have done everything to it thats been done apart from the engine conversion which my other halfs dad did but i took part in fitting the driveshafts and stuff and helped rewire the loom.

[MunkyBoy]

Shall be soon. Got a few bits to do on it soon! Your lights are ridiculous :) Its awesome.

I passed my MOT with one advisory today, which was a tyre getting low on tread. So hopefully i'll get going with some of my plans soon!

What are you doing with your rear axle now then? Getting another one?

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Good going on the MOT :D. Mine got one advisory minor leak of gases but that was in june lol. Im going to keep the axle on for the time being but i think i will get one from IM axles and lower it 60mm instead of the 80-90mm it is at the moment. I might be going abit euro on wide dish wheels in time. Iv now stuck standard VTS badges in vt trim so people now know its a 16v, It will throw a few people out who knew the car being a furio they will think iv just badged it up lol.

[saxo_16v]

Good progress looks like you have put in alot of effort. You got many future plans?

[H-Unwin]

really like the look of you car mate, also seems like you have put alot of hardwork into the car, well done

[saxokid100]

Looks nice and low!! coming along good.......

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Since i got banned........ Iv had a few issues like the throttle cable snapping and battery keep dieing but she is still running well!! iv got lots of piccys to post up again in the snow.

[JJVTS]

looking good mate, when it comes to lowering my car (via the rear) hows the best way to do it??

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Theres a few different ways to lower it but my torsion was seized to i bought the axle lowered and fitted.

I have now got 175amp battery cable and plumped through the bulkhead to the boot and got a massive battery in the boot for the winter as i have had trouble with the battery going flat due to short runs to work, im running the battery under the bonnet and one in the boot so theres plenty of life there now but iv got a cut off switch so it dont give the alternator to much hard. I will post some new piccys up soon.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

It wont let the picture work.....????

[littlegreen]

not a bit fan of smoked tail lights but the rims and ride height look like cupid put them together ;)

[mavoloso]

A few updates, Iv now got a 106 1.5 diesel center pipe on so it has one silencer where that cat should be.

A new gear linkage (part with the ball) also the little bushes that go into the bottom of the gear stick.

Towbar removed.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Has anybody got anymore ideas for me? Im running out and thinking of stripping it and making a track toy now with the right ecu and an engine rebuild with cams and throttle bodies, you know the score!!

[Sexooo]

Do you have a coke can on your breather pipe :fcuk:

[DanViner]

I am guessing it was there so nothing leaked out whilst changing the air filter

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

I had it on when i had the apiro filter on lol it was on for a couple of months but iv put the standard box on again now because it was abit too loud and used alot more petrol! The can actually worked aswell!!

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

As some of you may know i have had alot fo trouble with the saxo, passenger central locking actuator, battery keep going flat........... Anyway today i have spend around 4 hours and now starting to sort it out, reason for the battery was a wire had broken again for the alternator and the door i got a lock actuator from an old boot lock i had, it was a mission to do and i bent the rod for the door pin so i decided to take the hole mechanism out and so away with the rod so now i have a depinned passenger door and my door car is all fitted back on its alot better than it was before so thats now 2 things out the way and the axle is next!!

Extras i have added are xenon R1072 bulbs the 100% brighter with a slight blue tint (road legal) they are pure white nearly unlike the old bulbs.

I have replaced the air temperature sensor and it runs alot better now!

[Samantha]

Looking good. :clapping:

I really like the smoked rear and smoked headlights....you should smoke your fog lights to match.

What do use to keep your wheels so clean(the silver edge, in the first few pics they are spotless)....Mine have marks on that I can't seem to remove (we have the same wheels :D )

As some of you know i had a bad idle issue and lose of power so i got a 3 plug vts ecu and it still didnt cure the problem so i replaced loads of sensors but tonight at random i fitted a new lambda sensor and its cured the problem! its actually running like a proper vts!!

New update got another axdle from charlie on here! its the 4th axle the car has had but now it sits perfect with no camber and not as low so its alot better! I fitted it all up and the passenger caliper thread went on while trying to put the brake union in so i did it as tight as i could but it pissed fluid out so i had to change the caliper and while doing so i somehow slipped with the bar and broke my nose lol but it was well worth it with the end result, pics will be taken and uploaded tomorrow........ Im a happy bunny :D

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

New pictures with axle done and other little bits. The 3rd axle its had!!

They are pure black and nope never been pulled for them, i had them in my old vtr for a year and i have now owned this one over a year so 2 years with them and they have never said anything when iv been pulled up, i generally dont get pulled up i hide away from the old bill its not worth the hastle. Still more to be done to it :P cams in the future! strut brace to come too.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

She now has an upper strut brace but im still deciding on the colour to spray it, opinions please please. Il post a picture up later of it. I like the idea of shiney metal but its going to take alot to get it to that so im thinking of just painting it, maybe florescent green??

Yup i sure do but its abit of a bitch to get a jack under as it was down to the max it was on the bump stops so you had to drive it on wood then wiggle the jack under :afro:

All in good time all in good time lol im now starting to save for 421 and cams etc.

[raunchz]

Good to see it running good again !!

Looks mega low!!

Any future plans ?

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Well as i have no fiancee anymore or flat to pay for il have lots of future plans! I would have rather had a fiancee and flat but things happen so now im going to do more to the car. Its just sencond best thing and take my mind off of things.

[raunchz]

Turbo? TB it?

What's the full spec of this car at the mo?

[saxokid100]

Stil coming along great i see.........

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Turbo? TB it?

It hasnt had any engine work done really as yet, its awaiting a new gearbox hopefully a 1.4xsi box! I intend on camming it and a after market ecu before christmas. I do have one problem again with it though, it will sometimes idle fine but then it will just randomly cut out? If you continue driver say for 50 miles it will go away for 50 miles lol i think its the TPS sensor?

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Polished cam covers are coming along nicely too! they should hopefully be on before Mod nats. Few other bits ie broken headlight has been fixed and washer bottle pump replaced, exhaust gasket and fitting kit all new, Just the gearbox and sort the idle issue and she will be nearly done, then it will be time to move onto the bigger mods!

[raunchz]

Idle issue issue could be tps or idle valve.

Hard to say without testing the sensors individually.

Gearbox transforms the car! It just picks up so well!! Like the sound of bigger mods!! An aftermarket Ecu and throttle bodies would sort the idle issue :p

You think i should go for a 1.4xsi gearbox? I intend to make it a beast within the next year.
Oh and how do i go about testing the sensors?

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Polished cam covers now in progress!! one is basically done and i have fitted, could do with abit more polishing lol. Electric buffer does the trick!!
One i have done and fitted.
