haha, i would, but i dont really need nitrous!
that and its not a mint carpet, and therfore wouldnt be good enough for your car. im just about to go down and try and sort it out actually as its bunched up by the acc pedal still and its getting annoying!

plus i went paintballin yday adn had people with muddy feet in the car, but i made them take there shoes off, so hopefully it wont be dirty again lol

wasnt so much the console, just when i was putting it in, i managed to pull out the connections i had made for my dials so they stopped working and it was pitch black and needed to go to work.

that and the console is slightly different from the one i took out so it was a bit fiddly to get the buttons in. but all fine now!

kick-it 23rd December 2009 11:25

Your Saxo is looking good. Just read through your thread.
Love the Morettes and the dials.

Is the blue carpet from a 106? It looks a bit short, missing the passenger part?

yeah the carpet is from a 106 rally, its not short, i think it just got a bit squashed in the post, but its kinda taking shape better now.

thanks for the comment :y:

SaxoIOW 23rd December 2009 23:12

the carpet and dial look really good, cant beat a rallye carpet lol, ive got a red one in my vtr :y: I rekon the white wheels really suited your car so white s wheels would look awsome!

thanks mate.
the carpet is being a bit of a pain at the moment because it was slightly bent out of shape, but im working around it.

im leaning towards white wheels still, but im so tempted by the black with white lip as i havnt seen it done in a while.

but who knows, no progress on them at the moment as its so cold outside and iv got no where inside to work on them!

Dave-B 24th December 2009 14:39

Those dials and gauge looks nice mate

Sneakydevil89 1st January 2010 16:18

Update (kind of)

So started refurbing my s alloys some more, the weather is pretty crap, but iv half done one wheel. I'll probably sand it back a bit and do some more on it once the weather improves, but for now its ok! I have also made up my mind about what colour there going, but i wont say what! Actually i will, they will be black with white lip



Also look at the state of the badger :(



And the big hole lippy cut out!


gsavill90 1st January 2010 21:46

oooh.. good choice with the wheels ;)

Really need to do my wheels.. but i cant afford paint, and i'm SO impatient i never do a good enough job :(

i havnt done the first alloy properly, but will make sure before i lacquer it is as good as i can get it.

i get a bit impatient, but wanted these wheels for a while, and need to sell my white r wheels so i can buy tyres lol

crap forgot about that. ill get some of it tomorrow. along with the carpet that i never got round to getting.

for the record, blue carpets show the dirt twice as much as the grey ones. its already filthy. not great!

Sneakydevil89 2nd January 2010 22:01

Update time, Got some more done on the first alloy, but dont want to show them til theyre done ;)

but as requested, pics of the new centre console and carpet:







Also went down and saw denni and got the custom parcel shelf and sub box that lippy made off him. So mine is the 3rd saxo they have been in!





Got another set of comps coming (hopefully!) and then depending on cash ill get the monoblock, sub and powercap shortly.

more to come!

Lippy 2nd January 2010 23:47

Centre console looks awsome bud!

No sure about the Pods, Parcel shelf & Bass box though... (LOL)

All looks sweet as a nut bud will be good when its all in!

Sneakydevil89 3rd January 2010 11:47

yeah, i thought you might not light them to be honest, there a bit chavvy arent they :P
(But that suits our illuminated footwells LOL!)

hopefully those pioneer comps will arrive, had confirmation of the order with them, but not that they have been dispatched. so who knows!

need to try and dig out some speaker cabling from the badger so i can use it for the new set of comps.

then ill be harrasing you for some advice on what sub and monoblock to get!

SaxGeek 3rd January 2010 11:57

Looks good mate, love the centre column.
Don't do black alloys on a blue car...
Black alloys go on red, not blue. :P

Wheres the voltmeter from?

Qucifer666 3rd January 2010 12:24

really liking this car, and everything that is being done to it. hopefully see it at the meet later this month.

jack123 3rd January 2010 12:37

James106 3rd January 2010 12:45

black on blue car does suit, but you'll have to wait and see what they turn out to be :P

voltmeter was from a guy on here, infact 2 guys are selling them. jsut search for plasma voltmeter in for sale section and you'll find them :y:

Was going to make my own but nothing like getting the original. Lippy is a whiz when it comes to audio and fibreglass builds.

Liam-westcoast 3rd January 2010 13:12

i love that parcel shelf mate, it looks great

cheers mate, will look better with some comps actually in it!

joka456 3rd January 2010 21:57

looking awsome mate. keep it up

Lippy 3rd January 2010 23:02

same as my thread when I had that shelf and box in my car, everyone liked the shelf but not many comments on the box... wierd :)
Got some spare cable from my stuff I had to buy to do the roof when the time comes to fitting etc...

That would be helpful thanks.
Let me know how much you want for them and ill set some money back :)

i think its cus to them, the sub box is a sub box, but the shelf is custom and you dont really see it done, but if you see it in the flesh you'll know how good the sub box actually is. i never realised how professional it was!

bar the bits of carpet stuck to the inside, but im sure they are there for a reason!

Lippy 4th January 2010 10:51

hehe the bits of black carpet stuck to the inside were just left over and I got bored.... but they will serve a purpose to an extent, should have really been that white fluffy stuff in there (bass box wadding)

lol wadding, sorry im in an immature mood lol

well i got an email from the audio company i bought the comps off this morning telling me there is a problem with my order, phone them on this premium number...FAIL

so i emailed them back saying, no, im not phoning, whats the problem?

guess ill have to look again!

D--R--E--W 4th January 2010 12:11

long did it take you to do the centre console?

i didnt do it. its stu-n-shells' out centre console. i always admired it and when it came up for sale bout 6 months ago i couldnt justify buying it, but now i have a posi car i jumped right in :P

BambiHan 4th January 2010 14:52

really nice car, personally i like the white wheels and the center console

thanks :)

do you mean the current white r alloys?

either way, centre console is staying, was starting to think it might look a bit girly, but its staying anyway lol

Sneakydevil89 12th January 2010 22:56

Update:

Went down to my mate at the scrappies today and picked up my calipers for the brakes upgrade.

A set of Bosch 307 HDI Calipers, 283mm discs on there way!

going to get them powdercoated along with the s alloys so its all done to a high standard.

Got a kit coming from pug to refurb the calipers once theyre powdercoated. so they will be as new!

then gotta get some rubber for the s alloys, braided lines, discs and pads and im away!

got these bad boys for a bargain price IMO!



nom nom nom

gsavill90 12th January 2010 23:04

Looking good!
I need to get a new brake setup for mine. Just got maxtorq discs which make a lot of difference.. but the pedal still feels pretty soft all the time..

What discs and pads have you got in mind?
I think kamracing do the maxtorq discs, mintex pads kit for 283 calipers..
Not sure though.

havnt raelly thought that far ahead to be honest! but ill get something closer to the time.

what you need is a bigger Master cylinder. get a 23.8mm one. makes all the difference!

Lippy 13th January 2010 01:03

pm me how much Ricci charged you for the brakes!!!
Have you been in my car since the 23.8mm master cylinder? it actually doesnt make as much difference as I thought it would tbh, the braided lines made a bigger difference :(
Still a good upgrade though!
Powdercoating...? who is doing that? you found someone local that does it, if so I wanna know who!!! :)
Ive been tempted to look into uprated disks and pads but Kam ones are far too pricey for a 307 setup ie mintex 1144. and tbh they stop really well with an S engine if you wanted more imo you'd need a turbo or supercharged lump and then you'd get 4 pots anyways

Sorry for the essay... cant wait to see how these turn out! color?

Z-LoW 13th January 2010 14:06

where did you get them headlight caps from??
