Page7 - Kenco's White Furi-y0 On Wellers [[Sitting Better! Pg14]]
 

Well, finally decided to do a progress thread, as i could do with some help with ideas etc.
so this is the car when i bought it while still learning around 8 months ago

Completely Standard, bought from a neighbour with a family therefore knew it hadn't been abused

First things first
after looking around on Sax-p i liked the idea of black badges, so i set off and did those:


Nothing really much for a while after that, just focused on passing my test!

Next thing was to sort out the diabolical standard speakers etc.
decided that i would stick to one company, which would be pioneer.
collected myself a set of pioneer front door speakers, pioneer headunit and pioneer sub, which although is nothing special, does the job for me.

After De-pinning the doors i managed to disconnect the central locking solenoid I took a trip to SparcoTom, who managed to fix it and then on became my local garage for parts and fixes.
after rummaging through his stuff he fitted a 106 rallye downpipe. no need for pictures, its a piece of metal :y:

Next up i decided to smoke the front lights



Not a great picture i know, but still, im sure you all know what smoked headlights look like...

so it stood like this for a while...

then came the snow, so i thought a picture was neccessary..

You passed your test now then?
car looks nice, alot of flat arches been coming through

cheers mate, passed around 4 months ago
finally decided to make a progress thread
will get final pics up when i get round to it in a second!

Lol well done dude, jus started my progress thread too
take a peak (Y)

anyway, next up i came across Adamski's thread on stripping his car
took alot of interest in his grille so i snapped that up :panic:, thanks again mate
much prefered it once fitted:





with this being done, it inspired me to get my arse into gear and look around more on the sax-p for sale section.

With all this done, i decided to go ahead and grab myself an Ashley backbox, after looking around i decided this was the one for me.
initial fitment went pretty badly...



but after another trip to SparcoTom this was soon sorted



with this done i left it at that for a while.

Next up Turbotom and I decided to do a trade; my mountain bike for a set of alloys and a pipercross induction kit.
with this deal done we fit the induction kit there and then.

the alloys were short lived though, as i decided that i wanted to keep my vtr alloys and instead refurbish them black and sell the ones from Turbotom
FOR SALE: http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...tiSpoke+Alloys

Next up to go with the black badges and the smoked lights, i set about spraying the front grille mesh black



much happier with it now

and here is how it stands for now after a good wash.




Future plans are:
Supersprint centre section
Lowered
Black VTR wheel refurb
VT kit conversion

Need some more ideas people
what are we thinking?

Good progress so far mate.

nice saxo the mate for 1st car (Y)

Yeh like it, and like the future plans for a vt* kit!

glad you finally got one of these up mate!
welcome to the flat arch crew :P

ideas sound good, your going in right direction
you thought about smoked standards or smoked jewels for the rear? they look really good on posi cars

yeah man should be getting some smoked jewels when i find a stash of money
centre section comes first at the moment, as you know, mine is about to explode!
may be getting a vt kit off of Adamski with some birthday money i get!

VT kit will look good, but there is a fair amount of work to fit one. its not hard really, just time consuming if you want it done properly.

sounds like your going in the right direction then!

yeah ive read all the guides on how to do it, im quite confident about it tbh
hopefully i will get it soon! :y:

btw, in september the missus is going to exeter uni, so i will be down there quite often, any meets and stuff around there?

nice mate keep going just lower it abit mate

septemeber? i myself might be in cardiff then at uni, but theres a great bunch of guys around exeter area and im sure some meets can be arranged, if i know defiantely when your done ill try and arange something. its a long way off but you've got my mob number anyway.

yeah :y:
i think its in september anyway
and if she gets the grades
if not, shes going to Cardiff as it was her second choice!

haha, i feel im being stalked!
Well exeters lovely really, i would prefer cardiff though!

haha
i had this planned all along! ;)
haha hows the car going? got the comps fitted?

haha

not yet no, there with my mate lippy and he's rather busy with his front end at the moment (car that is not anythign else lol) once thats done in next few days i hope im gunna head over, finish them off and he's going to help me wire them and stuff.

Then its on to bigger and better plans!

goood stuff
what other plans do you have then?

yes flat arch join club we can take over the vtr/s haha

car is looking good mate like what you have done so far what mods you got planned, have alook at my thread mate write thread what ya think

that would be telling ;) haha

Right
VT kit and Lowering are on the way, both in the next month hopefully :panic:

oooh VT kit ey :P

looks nice mate.

indeed vt kit

i shall pm you the one i shall be acquiring! :y:

Coming along nicely mate, with the lowering and VT kit itll look like a completely different car :)

I can give you more advice on fitting the VT kit at the same time as the lowering too :y:

collected these today!

should be on in the very near future, although i want to get the vt kit on first...
opinions?
lower now?
or wait till vt kit first

lower now, whats the height drop you gone for? also how much they set you back?

lowwer now cause once youve cut the rear arches and the vt kit is on itl look even more like a monster truck.

this is true mate!
yeah i will be getting it lowered asap tbh
its just a 40mm drop, dont want anything stupidly low

picking up my supersprint centre tonight
pics later

just got myself this



supersprint centre section, from Raunchz, (sprayed in anti rust stuff)

shall be on tomorow, may add a video once done :y:

looking good dude, any news on getting those springs and shocks fitted yet?

So, i havent updated this in a while
I finally got the exhaust sitting how i wanted it

it used to stick out like a dogs tail :panic:

finally! the car has been lowered! I didn't want to go too low so i stuck to 40mm and 45mm (Thanks to Sparco_Tom for the front and Willsy and Lee_Vtr for the rear)



i do have side shots, but i'm not keen on the way flatarch's look lowered
which only means one thing...









Offered by Sparco_Tom for a bargain price so i couldn't resist!!
as long as the weather holds up i will be giving this a go over the weekend! :drink:

looking good, any pics of iyt lowered from the side?

Gonna VT kit mine hopefully. Looking forward to seeing how this one ends up :)
