It is fine on the motorway there is no wheel vibration as it has just had 4 new toyo proxies and all been balanced plus the exhaust is not too load so there is know annoying exhaust note like some i have heard.

So....its the end of my days with a saxo. Been part of Saxp for gone 2 years now and iv had a laugh and met some cool people!

BUT

The westy is no more.
- She has a major/annoying electrical fault which i cant seem to fix/have time to fix.
- The engine is running very lean
- Sounds ropey as fuck
- Exhaust represents this (although backbox is fine)
- Rear beam is fubar'd

So im going to break it for parts. Sad way to go, but this car caused me nothing but problems really :(

Everything but AMPs, HU and Sub is for sale. Not going to need any of it as i dont intend on buying another saxo. Not making that mistake 3 times!

If anyone wants to buy the whole thing with everything on ill listen to offer.

Breaking thread coming shortly....


...anyway for now im carless! Dont know what i can get either, everything seems to be too expensive on insurance and look ugly as foook

I'll be back!

sad to hear dude!

Im having problems too at the moment! Avoiding saxo's or 106's too?

or are you going as far as not buying another french car again? including the Renault Clio's?

nah not buying another saxo. I was looking at 172/182's but dont think i can afford one. so looking at maybe at C2 VTS - reasonably quick and group 8 insurance. Comfy too!

but not sure!

been checking your progress and its all been looking technical but not great! hope you sort it!

Deposit put down on a new car ;)

which is?...

BUY MY CAR! i'll do you a deal ;)

put a deposit down on a diesel :P

All will be revealed soon enough!

Thing is....

...I wont be modifying it at all lol

Sneak Iv'e loved both your Sax's but how have you now killed 2 LOL, Sorry to here mate, but maybe get something else now? Leave some for me to break lol

Much love

Kiss x

.... No Kiss

ROFL!

Thanks mate, the badger was my pride and joy and thats the one iv enjoyed far far more.

The westy was just a nightmare since iv had it, iv spent all my money fixing it, not modding it.

So yes, my new car is not a Sax...Jordysports knows what it is, as we were talking remap already :P haha

Hope yours is still going ok, not been on in a while!

lol

Muhahahaha... £10 to find out....pm me ;) lol

Mate my sax went ages ago now, Old Gertrude decided it was time to commit Suicide and go to the big Saxo heaven in the sky, was very upsetting sending her to be crushed, but in all fairness, she wasn't very well after she failed with something like 36 major problems on the MOT + a page of advisories lol

Tell me the new one, I've always been nice too you and you wont tell me:n:

Im no longer sending you kisses :panic:

hmm its not french as you siad you wouldnt get another french car...

its a diesel...

you would only remap a diesel if it had a turbo tbh so...

I still dont know lol

VW Golf tdi perhaps?

I wont be picking it up for another week and i cant be bothered to not let on anymore!

Lippy...you werent far wrong...


...it is....









...A TDi...



...But...








...Not a VW....













....Its....

















....A SEAT!....




Only picture i have for time being




Its a 2002 Seat Ibiza TDi SE

It has the fullest service history i have ever seen. Right back from when it was made. EVERYTHING that its has done is recorded.

Its on 108K but its diesel and well looked after so will be fine

Needs cam belt done soonish, but i'll get that done after xmas.

Have driven it once and it felt beautiful. Not been able to see speed of it yet, but it is a Turbo so there should be something there.

It's all paid for and insured, just got to wait until the 1st December to bring it home as it needs tax. Apart from that we're good to go!

Cant wait!

New car looks nice, remap sounds good as well. A mate recently had his 306 remapped and it's improved the torque so much. Only regret he has is not having dynoed before and after to see the difference on paper.

is that the exact one your getting? 4 doors?? planning on having kids soon?

nice color! bias there? lol :)

Hopefully will give you many years of trouble free comfortable driving

that is the exact one yeah

yeah its a rare colour for a seat but i love it.

haha it is 4 door lol thats more because i hate having to put my seat forward all the time!

yeah this should last me much longer!

4 doors?? planning on having kids soon? thats wat i was thinking hahahahahahaha,looks ok m8,is the saxo gone?

haha i think the mrs is, but when do women not? lol

nah saxo is on my driveway in pieces, would sell bits but cant get photos of my phone!

Shame about breaking the saxo. Was a nice motor.

I have a seat ibiza pd130 currently running 190bhp until i strap my new turbo down.

Totally different feel to the saxo but with lots of torque they are ace.

Ste

i would get cambelt done now, 108k pushing your luck abit, nice car though

They Look Nice With Some Work Put Into Them!

Awesome! Welcome to the dark side :p

Really nice engines aren't they?
You got the 115 or 130? Both remap to stupid bhp ;)
VAG build quality too :D They put torx screws where the french could never imagine :D

Talk about bumping a old thread LOL!

It had to be done :D

I want to see a build thread now!

unfortunately, its only 100bhp
BUT i dont know how this can be, my brother has a 1.9 GT TDi Golf and it keeps up with that, but still.

Im not doing anything with it i dont think!

BUT...i have been toying with the idea of once iv moved into my new place getting a VTS and going to town on it :P

yay or nay? lol

Nah diesels the way forward I think. Get good power and still enjoy the MPG! sometimes I wish i bought another tdi instead of a petrol car lol

Yeh i'd love to buy an old mk1 vts and just make a track toy out of it one day. Still cant afford the insurance on one though!

The tdi engines are pretty amazing... like the newer ones have the same bhp figures as the older engines (like mine) but have much higher torque figures. Like yours will have more torque than mine.
I still dont understand them... when i think my car has only slight less torque than my dads impreza... but mine takes twice the time to get to 60 :p

Has this marked the end of your messing with cars then? :(

yeah, its nice to have a really torqueee car lol

Yeah it probably has. For now anyway. I do alot of motorway driving and i cant be without a car for more than a day or 2 if im lucky.
Jobs going well, so if the money stays good maybe i might delve back into it! Iv still got a house full of Saxo parts haha :P

Yeh me too! Took a carfull to the tip the other day... Still got a few engines lying about though :p

Good you've got a proper job going on.... i'm still on the pizza delivery :p
Diesel is the future for delivery drivers... making so much more money :D

haha, technically, im doing the same as you, still in the pizza delivery business at Domino's...

..only im the manager now :D

pays considerably better haha

haha few engines lying about lol :P

just read both of the threads i would have given the badger a good home :( (the car not the dead one lol) but they both looked good all the effort gone into the badger was amazing n lippy looks as if hes a great person to know well done mate n i like the ibiza
