French guy with french car :)

[jon08]

Hi everyone :)

My name's Jonathan, I'm french (so I live in France :p ) and I'm 24! I'm a computer technician specifically in networks.

I've the license for almost a year and my first car is a dream since I was ten or eleven: a Citroën Saxo VTS 1.6L 16v :cool:

It's "rouge lucifer" (I don't know how you call the color in UK :zainy: ), from 2002, I bought it with 117 500km (approximately 73 000 miles) and it was a first hand, full stock!!

I bought it in December 2012 but I had my license in April 2013, so it slept in the garage during this time (really hard to start the engine but don't have the right to drive :p ).
So, I've been driving for almost a year but it only take 2 500km (1550 miles) because I take autobus the week in order to go to work :A:


So, two photos when I had it :)

Later, I had an aluminium fuel cap and a dynamic admission (improving base :p )

Later again, I repaired my arms bearings (with four Peugeot 206 bearings in each arm) and down the rear of the car at the same time. I added a Saxsport exhaust system (2 inch) (not easy to buy it from France :boxing: ). Looks like a dragster :zainy: :

And after, big work with Eibach -45 with Bilstein B6 sport at front and rear, RRS steering wheel, Ektor seats on OMP brackets and OMP harness (so no more rear seats :cool: ) and Raceland cage (for look), Citroën Berlingo gear shift with compbrake and quickshift:

Nice car mate, wheels look ace

Stunning car, best colour to.

I'm guessing it's a crossover model or something? MK1 spoiler, no VTS alloys, yes MK2 front end?

[jon08]

Thanks for your comments :)

No Jigs, it's a full stock MK2. The spoiler was an option in Citroën (maybe only in France?). The front end is also the original ;)

Rouge Lucifer basically translates as "red devil"
Very nice car that pal, look after her!

[jon08]

Thanks for the information and your appreciation mate :)

Salaud, il a la clim (pas de clim ici a cause du volant du mauvais cote)

[jon08]

Oui, j'ai la climatisation mais elle ne fonctionne pas. Enfin elle doit être vide, elle ne fait pas de froid. Et là où j'habite, il ne fait que rarement chaud au point d'avoir besoin de la climatisation, donc elle va être enlevée pour gagner du poids et de la place ;)

Yes, I have air conditioned but it doesn't work. It must be empty because doesn't produce fresh air. Where I live, there is rarely warm to the point of needing air conditioning, so it will be removed to save weight and space ;)

Really like those wheels! Love the colour too mate

Thanks guy :D
