Adsayer's 1.5D 5-door

[Barry123]

Hello everyone, bit bored tonight so thought I'd show people my car... smileys/smiley2.gif
Note: I'm now updating this post as well as showing the same progress pics throughout the thread
This is how is started back in august 2005: smileys/smiley14.gif
/members/adsayer/19Z6Z_IMGP1717.jpg

First 'sensible' mod: smileys/smiley8.gif
/members/adsayer/ADBAD_IMGP0331.jpg

First 'sensible' mod removed soon after. coded the door handles and meshed the upper grille (and fluffy dice - *thanks girlfriend for her effort*):
/members/adsayer/9C4DZ_IMGP0355.jpg

Left it for a few months as i was poor and too cold to spray anything. Then I stuck in some LED's in the footwells and neons under the seats smileys/smiley16.gif (note these only activate when the doors open):
/members/adsayer/EECCD_IMGP1307.jpg

Colour coded the door mirrors back in January:
/members/adsayer/15ZDD_IMGP1426.jpg

Skool boy error, used acrylic primer instead of plastic primer, so noticed this had happened last week smileys/smiley8.gif :
/members/adsayer/67F93_IMGP1692.jpg

106 mirrors became available so I bought and fitted smileys/smiley14.gif :
/members/adsayer/67742_IMGP1705.jpg

And then 2 hours later put VTR alloys on smileys/smiley16.gif :
/members/adsayer/479Z9_IMGP1755.jpg

Then cleaned the mucky bugger smileys/smiley10.gif :

[Graeme]

[Barry123]

Thanks peeps. its nice to know that the car is going in the right direction - the comments are really appreciated smileys/smiley2.gif

5-doors are a bugger to look good arnt they?!

lowering 40mm should keep it looking interesting.

thanks!

[marv]

I like it, nice n subtle. Jus needs to be slammed now.

[dannyjay]

Very gangsta! smileys/smiley17.gif

Are they MK1 rear lights?

[Baz]

Very gangsta! smileys/smiley17.gif

Are they MK1 rear lights?

very much look like it Danny! but on 2nd to bottom pic they do look like mk2

[Barry123]

i hope not.

they do look a little dark in the photos tho.

Gangsta indeed. lol. POW.

[dannyjay]

IMO you need to change your fuel cap and get a MK2 spoiler. smileys/smiley4.gif

[Barry123]

spoiler on its way... when i find a geniune one at a good price...

I dont fancy change the rear windscreen so it'll be a MK1 smileys/smiley4.gif

Dont like the fuel cap smileys/smiley3.gif smileys/smiley19.gif

[mark16v]

Nice clean 5-door, like the 106 mirrors smileys/smiley16.gif

[mattwesty]

well looked after mate, nice one smileys/smiley20.gif

[SteVTR]

nice and simple mate

did the 106 mirrors go straight on?

[Barry123]

yeah they did mate, 100% perfect fit.

thanks for the comments

smileys/smiley2.gif

[jclaydon]

Them vtr alloys make a unbelievable difference mate. I like it smileys/smiley14.gif

[Dan]

Nice matey.

[AM4R]

Get it slammed! I can then see what mine will look like too!

[RichieD]

Cheers mate, thanks to your pics i can finally do some simply but effective mods to mine which is the same but 1.1 smileys/smiley4.gif.

[RichieD]

Great looking car btw nicely done.

[Barry123]

thanks everyone!

Rang up the garage again to see if they could squeeze me in for an emergency lowering session before the Yorkshire/NE meet - but no space.

but i will get it done soonish i hope.
Glad to see there are a few 5-doors lurking around on here!

[Barry123]

righty just got the Jewels on...
Got Craaaaaaigs (as cracknell would say) MK1 VTS interior getting fitted tomorrow.

Pics in a jiffy...

[Barry123]

Ok here's the new additions to the saxo:

the Jewels:

Cheers everyone!

Spelling mistake above: Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaig

smileys/smiley4.gif

Looking good dude!!!

[Jimbo]

Love the interior, not diggin' the lights i don't think, but i'm undecided.

[Jonny1124cc]

Well you have been a busy boy since you got the mirrors! They suit yours better than mine for some reason smileys/smiley13.gif I can't say im keen on the rear lights either though. Whats all that rubbish under your rear number plate too?

[AM4R]

Ad stick with the standard rears mate, but I like the interior. I see what you mean about the vtr alloys!

[landy]

lookin nice ads did the vts fit stright in?
not to sure about lights tho
next simple mod for u is to take the door pins out (well thats wot i would do) smileys/smiley4.gif

[Barry123]

I can't say im keen on the rear lights either though. Whats all that rubbish under your rear number plate too?

Funny you should say that because Craig and Ad noticed it too. It's stuck down with blue peter's old favorite Double Sided sticky tape so I'll have a bash at sorting it after I've had some munch smileys/smiley4.gif

[Barry123]

lookin nice ads did the vts fit stright in?
not to sure about lights tho
next simple mod for u is to take the door pins out (well thats wot i would do) smileys/smiley4.gif

Yup the interior went in super smooth.
Door pins defo need doing but I keep putting it off - i know i'll get a punishing if i dont do it soon like smileys/smiley13.gif

I going to stick with the lights for a little while and see if they grow on me smileys/smiley14.gif

[Luke]

I think the lights look good mate - but again need to grow on me.

Love the interior though, suits the car very well.

Keep up the good work...

[Barry123]

yo party people.

here's what ive been doing tonight...

New Headunit installed - Kenwood KMD-673R
Thanks to Dave86, nice one mate smileys/smiley20.gif
I cant believe how much better the sound is just with a new headunit smileys/fcuk.gif
/members/adsayer/Z48D4_IMGP1873.jpg
My parents computer screen is pretty dark so i cant see it properly but if it's too dark on yours let me know and i'll brighten it


Then I was getting pretty annoyed ripping chunks of my hands off everytime I want to open the bonnet (because of the mesh). So I put a little cover over it. while I was at it i resprayed the mesh too - although i ran out of lacquer smileys/smiley5.gif so I'll do the rest tomorrow if i can assed
/members/adsayer/6DBAF_IMGP1874.jpg
By the way, I have loads of this stuff left... if you'd like some let me know (50p)


And for a laugh I thought I'd tackle the engine bay. I've dont even know how to clean an engine bay so any advice on products and cleaning methods etc would be wwwwicked smileys/smiley4.gif
Also here's a sneaky peak of what a 1.5D engine looks like smileys/smiley8.gif
/members/adsayer/D928Z_IMGP1875.jpg

As I keep saying please let me know if I've bastardised my car along the way so I can correct it sharpish smileys/smiley16.gif


cheers everyone

[Barry123]

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone. Bit of a nightmare having the crappiest saxo built (as seanvtr says: 1.5D:ill: 5 doors:ill:) :D: . Sometimes I love it, most of the time i hate it but your comments keep me going so cheers!

I really want to VT* panel it, thats the thing, got a quarter panel that im currently chopping :)

[Luke]

Looking good Ads, miss those back seats :(

Can't believe you travelled for 5 hours - commited. Least your happy though, thats the main thing.

[rushy_23]

How was Uni this term bud? Lots of hardwork?
Must of been cus you havent been hoe'ing the forums lol.

At least your here for Xmas, what other plans you got then?!

[Dan]

Looks good mate.

[Barry123]

How was Uni this term bud? Lots of hardwork?
Must of been cus you havent been hoe'ing the forums lol.

At least your here for Xmas, what other plans you got then?!

It was a killer at uni... final(ish) year is shite. I asked the management to ban me whilst i was concentrating on the last few pieces of coursework and doing the mid-year exams... hence the lack of spammage from me. Modding when a student is f***ing impossible to be honest which is sad :upset:

My plan over christmas is:
stick this panel filter in, I was going to do it today but realised I've got to oil the bugger before hand.

spam saxp a lot.

Spray and fit dimma grille

spray and fit bodykit.

probably clean it a little bit.



:)

[stiffler69]

looking good there them door cars look a perfect match wish i had them ones when they were in myn lol

[thadogg]

Here's before it was fitted...

And here's it after...

http://www.saxperience.com/members/adsayer/D928Z_IMGP1875.jpg



Only gave it a quick (well slow actually) drive. felt fock all.

[willsy]

I cant spot it in the pics lol

Is it supposed to give much difference Ads? Hows the Kit coming along?

[saxoash]

I cant spot it in the pics lol

Is it supposed to give much difference Ads? Hows the Kit coming along?

Thats cos its a pannel filter lol

Looking good Ads so you having the yorkshire posse over for a party then? :drink:

[Yates]

mate im home on the friday nite, so il be up when u want a hand with the body kit if you still want it, or a hand with anything else just let me know

[Jimbo]

Lmfao, love the before and after pics

[Barry123]

just a quick update. I think i over oiled the filter before i stuck it in as it sucked (natural comedien :)). to be honest i thought performance reduced slightly.

Anyway I've done about 600 miles on the new filter now and just giving it a little blip down the country roads and it defo feels slightly more responsive and a little extra shove before 2000rpm - quite impressed actually :)

I did a 0-60 (speedo) test before i left for uni - on standard filter 15.2 secs
was going to do a run tonight but too foggy to bother trying, also not exactly a fair test with the high pressures and highish humidity too, and foglights +20hp.

also i cant be assed to start the spraying of the kit yet... hopefully next week i'll get something started :)

ads

[Luke]

I'll be having a word with you later Ad about coming up next week, I think.

I'm glad you are impressed with the panel filter though, I think I am going to do some ordering for my car today.

[Karl]

loving it sayer, v nice :)

[Barry123]

right...

I gave the saxo a 0-60 (speedo) run last night.

came back with 14.2 secs - which seemed a little too good, so i did it again 14.4secs

either way its an improvement which i reckon is around 5-7%.

not bad for a £35 filter.


Also the weather isnt looking good so I'm probably going to leave the kit until easter now :upsety: shame, but i'd rather do it properly.

[furiomike]

hey man, just been on this forum for the first time and found another diesel saxo owner! Im not alone!! Just wondered if your alloys had 185 tyre sizes? If so, were they fine to fit? I want to get a set of alloys but been warned off by a few people casue of the size of the 1.5D arches for the tyres!
Any help would be cool. Thanks.

hi dude.

I'm rolling on 15's with a 195mm tread width and a 45% profile. My car isnt currently lowered but there is no rubbing whatsoever. Prior to that I had VTR alloys on mine with a 185mm tread width... again fine. I even went to the trouble of bunging my family in the car and taking it over speed bumps. still no rubbing :) but there is a difference between the 3-door and 5-door version. It appears the 5-door version has a wider rear arch... hence no modification needed to make the alloys fit.

Even when I move out of birmingham I had the car literally packed to the max...

MAJOR UPDATE:







Washed it

















no seriously, there actually is some proper progress rather than applying a sponge to it exterior then feeling the need to fill up a progress thread with 10 pages of shitty pictures.

the beast now has a a dimma grille and some component speakers.

neither of which I can be arsed to take a photo of, im sure you've all seen a dimma grille and some component speakers before.

ads

[Mystic]

A dimma you say? Have never seen one on a silver 5dr and i have a very poor imagination. Ditto that with component speakers (can you even hear them over that derv patter? ;)).

Actually, i would like to see how you'v mounted the tweetys...

My next creative effort will be in fabricating a pillar gauge pod & tweeter mounts.

[Barry123]

whacked them below the wing mirror pod and to the side a bit.

look well cool man!

i'll get pictures tomorrow to aid your understanding.

dimma looks average (and like every other saxo now) tbh.

[RedB]

Pics lad :p

Mods sound good mate, progress is progress ;)

That kit will look the part when its on...
Cant wait for Next Year so some fresh modding can begin

[rushy_23]

[saxyVTRsaxo]

Absolutly stunning pic ads. From what i can see the dimma looks good but whats more catching my eye is the star burst from your headlamp.
