hi all,this is tjay from glasgow scotland and i have been a member since 2009 and read just about everything on here up to date and take my hat off to you all,i start with my first vtr in 2001
ever since i have had a few before going 16v
spent loads here and there as in wheels tyres exhaust induction as the more i done the more i wanted to do not only in exterior but interior and most of all performance now i got this mint vts in black back in 2012 it was in a colour i like with not bad alloys and a nice leather interior good but not what i had in mind so there it was a low milage...

So... With a little bit of cash...I bought a few new parts for my tired Furio... and so I'm going to give it a little bit of attention and love this weekend... photo's and updates to follow... but it starts in earnest now...

On the menu is the following:
1. Engine flush and oil change
2. Gearbox flush and oil change
3. Fix leaking aerial
4. Rip out front shocks and drive shafts.
5. Replace with KYB Ultra SR's, new drive shafts, oil seals and new wheel bearings.
6. Remove rear shocks.
7. Replace with KYB equivalents.
...No...

Just a couple of pictures I've taken since having the saxo, more to come.

Picture of the pumpkin when i went to kimmeridge bay. Got wheels trims on i know, but will soon be swapped for VTS alloys!


Love the saxes ass, would like to get rid of the badges etc and have it smoothed, but its not likely to happen.


The engine bay. When i had my 50+ bhp pod filter, haven't taken a photo with my BMC...

Just going to do a little blog, cheers if you having a look!

My Saxo is a 1.4l 8v Furio. Im only doing subtle mods as i know the 1.4 isn't the best saxo but to be honest is my first car and don't really want to bother buying a 16v engine as id rather buy a new car.

I bought my saxo completely bog standard. Ive had it for about 1 and a half years now ( bought it way before i passed my test ) and i love it! Even though i do get it ripped out of me over the colour!

So far i have done the following mods:
-Blue pod filter
-Engine...

Ok, so i thought i would start a blog, i will use this as a progress feed for my VTR that i am buying Monday.

Its had a view mods which are listed on my profile. but i shall be adding a few more, in time.

I'm just wanting it to look clean neat and tidy and have a few performance mods that boost the BHP.

A clean exterior & Interior. And a mint looking engine bay. If i achieve this ill be happy.

watch this space :y:

soo i got a pretty good bargain on a pair of cobra monaco's! the same seats in the rally car i nav for but damn these are alot comfier! £100 quid for both with harnesses!

the next thing is to get custom brackets made as i dont like the sliders height and i want to sit pretty low in them, next thing after that is to get a sub and get those wires ran underneath the carpet and start to work on the interior light:)

alright, so i got my first saxo for £350 ! it isnt too tidy but what can you expect for £350.. so here it is black betty-

sadly its previous owner hadnt heard of a hoover !

so i first started off buy stripping the interior, and gave everything a good power washing! its surprising what some carpet cleaner and water
can do! sadly i forgot to take photos haha! but
anyway...



so heres...

waiting on the 1.6 to turn up so it can be fitted along with the cambelt to be fitted before dropping it in..

Been a while since I wrote a blog about this piece of French tin that I cannot let go.

Got it through the dreaded MOT without too much effort but for the first time it has needed some help with a "welder" and I will that term loosely. So much that if I have the spare time and a spare sill I will fix the part that they were supposed to fix. Unfortunate as it is the car isn't on the road and I don't see it being back on the road this year.

Slowly going about the interior and parts of the engine bay.

The interior as stated in previous...

It seems the GTi has had an altercation with an object at some point in the past, and this had been dealt with in a bit of a poor way. The near side front inner wing had rust under the fusebox, and on investigation with a wire wheel I found it had been half replaced, and welded, then fillered up!
Luckily I can do what should have been done to start with and replace that whole section.
But first I need to wait for the engine and box to arrive so I can start test fitting it. Should be here on Friday I hope, then once that fits okay I can start with rebuilding the engine bay and getting...
