Hi all, Newbie here! Got my first saxo back in July, a black VTS 63k on the clock, love it.

Unfortunately the gearbox died quickly but managed to pick up a 33k one and a slightly better clutch off ebay all working great now.

Mods so far :
BMC induction
Bilstein B8 dampers all round on GMC springs.

Car just failed MOT.. Need 2 new suspension arms and a CV boot. Also didn't realise car had been de-catted! I don't know any friendly MOT people round my way and to be honest the current system fits rubbish so going to replace the lot. To make life easier, my brake pads need doing.

SO!

Plans :

2 new suspension arms.
Piper manifold - saxsport full system with motorsport cat.. Anyone got thoughts on this?
gti-6 or 206 gti180 brakes w/new discs and Pads again any suggestions? replace rear pads with something a little better.

Also got a great sound system to go in, but need £££ to get it all installed properly and deadened etc.

The car is currently SORN (Not a daily driver I actually live in London lives at my mums as a wkend toy) work on engine done after my tax return :s

Anyone give me a hand with uploading some pics? Can't seem to see this manage attachment thing?!

Hi all, Clarky I actually in South London (Stockwell) but the car lives just behind Waitrose so middle of Brighton. It's where my Mum lives and it's just a weekend toy, love it though! Shame the thing keeps breaking lol although now I'm ploughing a bit of cash into her to get it good. Will start a progress thread as soon as i get back down
