Another update! Yep i know im on fire :P

Made an iPod and Mobile phone holder to fit in the coin tray today as i was bored.

Easy enough to make, 1 piece of MDF cut to shape, then covered with faux leather and slotted in place, i think it looks pretty good :cool:

Next thing on the list is an engine start button...

Don't quote me on this but I think you've put your oil breather filter thing on wrong...you need to keep the original black hose (with the yellow clip) on where you've put your breather and instead attach the breather to the end of the black pipe (with the yellow clip) that would plug into the original airbox.

Nice on so wanted one of these but funny enough could make it. Could you make us one mate. So that i can mount my switches and phone to it also my ipod when i get it lol

And ill do the starter motor for you

Deal or no deal lol

Thanks for the advice ill look into it, problem is i havnt got the yellow/black pipe any more :S Will my car be safe like this? Cheers

Deal! :D

This is true, car will be safe but you do need to block off the piperX holes.

What would you use to do this mate? Anywhere i can find a bung?? :S

Try eBay, piperX may also make them not to sure. They are available to buy though.

Thans mate, i tried a finger of a rubber glove but it spoilt the look of the engine bay so im still looking :P

yea you need something abit more substantial that a rubber finger haha.

lol wouldnt it be funny if when accelerating the finger blew up and expanded and when not accelerating deflated :p like when you blow in a rubber glove lol

And PM'ed you Lewis mate :y:

Lmao, i was worried it would get sucked into the engine so i want something more substantial :P

Got your text btw, cheers!

Probably 2 of the last updates for this car as far as I know.

Had the rear raised up, now its sitting 35mm lower than standard. Id just like to say a big thanks to Craig (silversaxo113) and Mark (mark_saxo_83) for doing the raising. Twice now and both done a great job, highly reccommended from me :)

Also fitted a push button engine start, many thanks again to Morgiee.

The only thing I may do is fit a new centre section and standard backbox.

Heres some pics:








Thanks

looks alot better now, good job you put it up before your dampers went, would not be good if you were driving

Yea fair point, i think i prefer it like this too. Fells like im coming to the end of an era :(

same, i putting mine back to standard, putting old wheels back on, spraying grill satin black and putting standard badges back on, going to go to scrapy, not sure about the lights tho, i might just leave them, or find someone to swap with

Just advertise the lights on the saxp for sale/wanted section saying 'staight swap for standards'

Sell the VTR wheels for £120ish. You planning on selling the car come renewal?

Tbh i like the way the car sits now even though you are selling, is more subtle and looks alot better, and prob is better to drive lol. Shame to hear your selling, but everyones got to move on sometime i suppose, good luck in the sale mate:y:

Thanks mate, I have to admit it looks more refined than some of my other 'looks' I donned. Ive decided to put it up for sale but in no rush to get rid of it so im waiting for the right price. Seens how ill be at uni in september ill hardly use the car so fuel costs are pretty irrelevant.

Ive got a few cars ive got my eye on if i do sell, mainly VTR's and S1 106 16v's. So ill see what happens and just go with the flow :)

Looks mental mate

Yeah thats fair does. Im going to stick with my flatarch for a couple of years, and just make it mint and just enjoy it. Yeah Uni is understandable, but the cars youve mentioned sound good:y:

Haha cheers mate. Well i dont blame you keeping your 1.1 its one of the most distinguishable flatarches on sax-p, you really made it a minter :)

Im the kinda guy who's more than happy to sacrafice creature comforts for pure power and speed. Im hoping ill get a cammed 16v flatarch owner wanting to swap for a top spec low milage cheap to run car ^.^

i like this car alot wish mine was lowered like yours plans sound good from what u was telling me earlier on buddy good luck on the sale mate

Cheers mate, all depends if i get a sale :y:

The car looks stunning as ever mate :y:

Good luck with the sale, i hope it stays saxp :)

get a vid of the engine start buddy!!

Haha of corse ill stay here, this online Gem will always shine ;)

I think its gonna be either a saxo, 106 or MGZR.

Will do mate ill post up shortly

goood cant wait cus i wanna do it to mine but im going to put it in my stearing wheel if can but wont be till my vtr i fancy being different to everyone else lol

Haha good luck with that it would be pretty hard hiding the wire going into the steering wheel. Here's the video:

ill put it by the air bag or something den all under the wheel and under the dash :D
well thats the plan ha

haha sounds good, what VTR are you getting? I was after a mk1 16v conversion if possible

lookin real good that engine start, you get that little excitment in you when it works lol.

What would be really cool is if you had an alarm system were you can remotely start it from your keyfob, bit like this:

However idea for next car lol

was just thinking what you told me last night inspired me. If i get this new job, then will have to sell up the beauty 1.1 sat at home lol and go for a vtr/vts. Then put good money into alarm system that locks, has automatic window closure, engine kill switch and remote engine start. Also up the engine proformance if not already. That way no mess on with putting elecy windows or well might was well finnish the central lock would be a bit silly having wires in and no motor.

Sounds like you got a plan mate, seens how your going to be 20 pretty soon you could easily afford the insurance on a 16v, wether its a VTS or not :P

not sure i wanna mk2 tho in blue thats the plan ha!

Lewis there is a diablo red 106 GTI round corner from me for sale, needs abit of tlc and a front arch BUT its only up for £750, could make an offer of £600

have u got any 80mm flexi hose bud ????? like what u used for ur induction

Ahh cool, personally i prefer the marotous blue or however you spell it. Good luck finding the one you want :)

Wow!! Seems bit too cheap mind, mite be high milage or something. Mind you i would love it, thing is the insurance is way out of my league :wall:

Would still love to buy it, if there is any chance of me being able to afford it.

Sorry mate i threw it away. Halfrauds sell the narower pipe, B&Q sell the wider pipe.

How are you going to be able to afford the insurance on any car with a 16v dropped in? if you cant afford a 106gti?

You buy a car registered as a 1.4 or 1.1 on the V5. And yes i understand the complications this can cause. Ill look into gti insurance prices later on.

106 gti would be nice one mate would be good to see what u do to it also!
