STAR!!

No problem :y: they turned up really quick as well !

Engine is in !
 

Rite!! well haven't updated in ages. Had a bit of time off and then just been so busy, but pulled my finger out tonite and me and a mate slotted the 16v in. went in quite nicely but still a few more bits to do ran out of time but ill get all that done tomorrow. And then finish of the wiring, ive got 2 sensors left and dont know where they go. maybe a difference between gti and vtr but im shure ill figure it out ! but the main bulk of its done now so it should be straight forword from here. i hope lol

A few piks









Leave a few comments please would be nice to get your feedback :y:

Looks very nice mate. The engine and parts are spotless !

Cheers! yea took a while to spank it up ! wonder how long itl take me to get it filthy again lol :y:

The engine is in and all the sensors are plugged in and i have got my multiplugs ready to solder on!

But i only have one lambda sensor plug on the loom ???? so unsure if this is a gti thing or im missing one ?? where i can stick the other bugger or if its needed and just use the one pre cat sensor

Any help would be appreciated

looks awesome, wish i had the time for a project like this, if i were you id just use the one lambda sensor, if thats how the loom is :y:

looks minted mate. Well done

great project mate. keep up the good work. :y:

looking good colours in the engine bay are looking well together

with the other lamba, could you just blank it off? you can get the blanking plugs for like £15, if thats any help? awesome project mate..
cant wait to see pics of it all finished, will lookd weird seeing a sax with a gti front bumper, but be a good weird if that makes sense lol.

Thanks for the positive comments ! Havnt even been down to the garage in weeks been so busy! will have to brief the misses and get a week off. will find out what year my engine is as well and try figure out why i can only plug one lambda into my loom or find out im an idiot and just missed the other plug :p

looks really nice. i plan to do the same one day

plugged it all in tonite and turned the key for the first time. now the fule pump didnt prime and the key light flashed on the dash. grr !

Rite this is where im at the the moment! i got everything in the bay is back together yesterday and took a deep breath and turned the key !
Now the engine turned over but the fuel pump didnt prime and the key light was flashing on the dash. now i think it is my wiring that is at fault as ive cut and shut the gti loom to the vtr multi plug. i had a quick fiddle around with it but it was getting late so i called it a day ! I was just wanted to see if anyone could maybe point out something i may have over looked ? oh and yes my ecu is unlocked.
Heres a few piks of my phone--

Locked my ecu !! what a plonker :wall:
Didnt remove my immobilizer!! But i went back and checked all my wiring had fuel pump priming and relay working so i know its my ecu !
so its waiting on ecu unlocking again and im away ! still kicking my self tho

Unlucky :n: read your whole thread so far though and it's coming along good :y: :)

Good news ! Spoke to ryanmt who unlocked my ecu and hes removed a pin so it carnt be locked
bad news i now dont know what the fault is now? Im starting to think that the alarm that the last guy fitted may be to blame as i uest to put key in and have to press the key fob to kut off the immobilizer and i would hear the fule pum prime. I do that now but it dosent prime? And ive checked the relay and fule pump wiring ?
Im shure ill figure it out lol but glad i havent locked my ecu tho !!

Its Alive !!
Had it running today for a quick second! i had the wrong wire for my switch live on the vtr side of my loom. Stupid mistake but its finally working !!
Didnt want to fully run it, just checked it fired up as i dont have a 16v manifold on it yet ( need one so if anyone is selling, im buying lol ) dont know if its fully true but i heard you can do some damage without a mani on but im not risking it !! Im well chuffed tho :p

just need a manifold and i can run it ! So while im waiting on that ive turned my atention back to the the body work. On that can you tell the difference between citoren black and other gloss black car paints ?? Just because ive got some gloss black but its not citoren you see?? i dont think i can tell the difference but let us know, tar happy its nearly there tho woop !

looks sweet as love the white on black and red engine quality

Thanks , Yea i love it too !!

Been spraying a few bit thisaft, See if you can guess whet they are ?

look like a really nice saxo dimma kit must cost you a bomb

Yea is a fair wack new! ive still got front and back bumper and spoiler for sale
as well if your interested?

Rite decided to pull my finger out as ive not posted in ages !!

Things ive been up to -

- engine done ( 16 v manifold arrived )
- Prepping bumpers and wings for paint

To be done

- Fit manifold and exhaust
- plum return fuel line in to tank
- Sand sand and sand some more then paint

Had a few small dints and 1 big dint and chips in my wings so ive started to sanding/filling them and my bumpers. mite be a while as there's alot of flattening to be done especially on the bumpers so it may take some time !!
Plan is to get car running so and put it outside so i can have the space back in the garage to do all the bodywork.


as usual a few pics !

Got a problem !
please take a look and give me a hand lol

sorry re-post
my bad

http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=339372

problem solved ! Gearbox mount is on upside down ! Glad it was that simple can get cracking again now !

looking mint mate like the GTI bumper

actually wondering what the gti bumper will look like....?

is the vtr engine a 1 plug or 3 plug ecu? and what was the gti?

yea vtr was a 3 plug ang gti a 1 plug
i just used the single plug ecu and loom and made the loom fit my car




updates !
bumper shouldnt be to far off its all in primer at the moment but im doing my back bumper, wings, arches, skirts, spoiler all at the same time to save loads of paint mixing and cleaning my spray gun all the time !

I say it wont be too long but its neary a year since i started this project and my cars been out of my garage twice and never past my drive lol !!!!!!

interesting project mate keep it up!

Nothing that exciting to post so will put some piks up instead lol

One of the car after i drove it ( yes drove it ) out of the garage the other day and i can say that im well happy with how its running ! engine sounds perfect, idles fine and no dash lights ! gears abit sloppy tho, didnt have a gear knob on but will get all that fixed






Im not going to post all my bumpers ect in primer cos its dead boring !
but ill show you some more of getting the gti bumper fitting rite

Gti wing sticks out abit more than the vt so theres a gap witch ive fiber glassed and will need filling and sanding
( in between the pen marks )




Also ive been looking at wheel spacers as i want a wider stance but un sure of what size to get ???
wheels are 16 " and carnt remember what size the tyres are but there quite low profile. And its dropped 40 or 45 iirc
i dont want to go to far if it means its going to scrape as i will be mainly rallying around country roads ;)

Anyway heres a pick of how it sits :-



what you think ?

urgent !! do gti doors fit vt ???

Have a set ready to buy just need to know ! thanks

yes they should do cos saxos and 106's are the same shell
