Car looks good mate,looks like Pillz had done a good job,ill keep an eye on this thread to see what you do to it:y: Good luck Sneaky.

Awesome car man!
How does it compare to the old 1.1?

no comparison mate. i can drive this one round all day at a good speed and not even tax the engine. but then if i do need a bit of extra kick, there is.

for a 1.4 its suprisingly quick. I got a green filter to go in the raceland, but i cant get to it at the moment, dont even know what filter is in there!

im loving it though!

Yeh it's nice to be able to accelerate in a gear that isn't second!
Not much difference between the 1.4 and vtr tbh.
Looks awesome too, really like the morettes!

very tidy mate. Posi blue and white wheels is an awesome combination.

Oh goodey new thread to spam on! I joke...

Ive driven it and its pretty nippy for a 1.4 considering! Hopefully Sneaky is gonna let me lose on it in small stages ;)

EDIT : I think Peado bear has to go though tbh

Welcome to the 1.4 club :D
Although mine is undergoing a vts (aka WestcoastS conversion atm) :y:
I know the feeling from 1.1 to 1.4 its great :D
Good luck with it :y:

It needs some speedline comp 2's in white ;)

Big improvement from what it was like mate, looking forward to your new modz :D

Nice car you got there mate, seen it in real life too..

Set a MK2 rear lights would look better Id say aswell and some white Comp Mo's

looks awesome mate, love the white and blue theme :y:

yeah i love the morettes, was what drew me to the car!

yeah thats agreed. not sure if the R wheels will stay, as i plan to get a gti6 brake set-up on it, so will need at least 15's.

cant get the thing off! will try again tomorrow when i give her a clean!
but yeah, start projekt audio monday? lol

also noticed that your premium membership has run out like mine :P cant afford to renew it either at mo!

oooh, 16v ey :P
will have to keep an ey out for that!

quite like them actually, if i can get a set fairly cheap or in need of a refurb might go down that line :P

i do to!

yeah im not sure about the rear at mo, i like the smoked jewels but it came with a set of Mk2 rears, so i can always pop them back on. looks cleaner with the standards i think.

Cheers man

Mate i love it,

Posi Blue Westcoast,

Good choice ;)

Whats the plans, looks lush, i hope you luck after this as you did your 1.1, and as Pillz did,

we need a photoshoot,

Adz

oooh, plans, hmm not 100% sure on everything, but things to work towards at mo are:

-gti6 brake conversion/new 15" alloys (maybe VTS, maybe Speedline Comp 2's as pred suggested)
-Sort ICE out properly, second amp and sub etc
-New dials, poss plasma, poss Mk2 with LED's

not got any massive plans, but do need to fix the leak in the sunroof! got drenched INSIDE the car today!

yeah, photoshoot for sure :P

I have a real soft spot for posi blue saxo`s, I like the white and blue theme it really sets it out from the croud!! :)

Brakes are a very good idea. Going to look at uprating mine as soon as i get the engine out of the way. Braking from anything above 70 just doesn't happen...
If you want some white faced Mk2 dials i might be able to get you some for the price of postage!

yeah iv always liked them secretly lol my white wheels arent so white at the moment lol, kinda looking grey on the front :P

ooh, might take you up on that, but i know theyre is a guy on here who does dials of your choice set to the mileage you wantas well, which would be helpful! but im in no rush for anythign yet :P

nice mate the badger was nice this is even nicer!! i wanna drive a westcoast now and see how nippy they are lol it looks really aggressive with the Morettes should do what adz hasdone and take out two of the bulbs and the grille his looks really mean lol anyway long story short nice motor! lol

very good looking car mate, i have a decent sub, amp + box forsale in the i.c.e forsale section have a look and drop us a pm :)

thanks mate,

ill take a look, bit broke at mo, but ill take a look none the less

Right, so i have the next week off, so here is the plan for the week:

• Fix Extreme Sunroof Leak
• Fix Remote Central Locking
• Get Morettes Re-wired and Adjusted
• Replace Raceland Filter/Adjust Housing
• Re-Wire Audio
• Clean Car!

So its off down to Shitroen now to see how much a new sunroof seal will be..oh and its raining so im taking a towell...

great job mate :)

they're about 50 quid mate!!!

On the other hand, the car looks sweet mate!, surely it's a finished project already?

thanks muchly

Really? Ouch, i cant afford that at the moment!
And the weathers getting worse. :wall:

Nah, its definately not a finished project. I dont expect many big updates to be happen for a while, but theyre will be some :P

I Liiiike It!!!! :D Looking Good Iwan! Cant wait to see what else you do x

haha, in my head that just sounds so naughty! haha

ill get cracking with mods as soon as i can!

hmm, well as for brakes,

if im getting rid of mine soon, i have got a set of GTi-6 brakes, probz sell for £70, almost new discs and pads,

and S wheels, have a nice set of white ones, with nearly brand new tyres, awesome cond, lets say, £200 ?

Adz

ill take the lot. maybe drive up to have a quick photoshoot with you :P

im sure ill have cash by then as well :P

I wanna join in! When i get new car! :)

looking really good mate :) lets hope you have better luck with this one :y:
why dont you swap the sunroof off the old car onto the new one?

looks great mate.

i dont spose you have the old bonnet do you?

2 blues and a red? sure can sort some arty stuff out there!

thanks man. well so far its not going to plan! but fingers crossed.

and i cant swap it over as the old 1.1 didnt have a sunroof :P

Thanks man

The Black bonnet? i do have it yes, but theyre are 2 rather annoying scratches on it. Not realy that noticeable, they do polish out a little, but its not mint.

Awesome, well im looking at welling up next year, Wanting an Astra GSI Turbo next, 2.0ltr turbzzzz Ftw :P

Adz

Ahaa Trust You ;) Tut Tut.. Im on about the car :P

Yepp defo get a crack on them soon :) Keep us updated! :)

Its official. im fed up of this heap of french junk already.

How come? Surely not defeated by the first hurdle :p

the sunroof is completely fucked. the seal doesnt fit properly anymore. its missing about a million screws, most of it is rusted and as soon as it rains waters going to piss through everywhere again.

i spent the last hour cleaning the thing up, removing the seal (which wasnt actually stuck in at all) got it ready, trial fitted it, fitted, then applied tiger seal as silicone would just come loose, stuck in half, moved sunroof, stuck in other half and oh look, it doesnt fit now, took it out, moved it around, again, still didnt fit, eventually got it somewhere near fit closed the roof to seal it while it dries and it just pops off on the corners.

so thats fucked and now on top of that i have a roof and sunroof covered with tiger seal.

iv just bought the damn thing, im broke, i cant afford a new bloody sunroof.

Are you sure it's the seal and not the drain things?
I had a sunroof that didn't close properly for ages, like you could see sunlight through it, and that barely leaked at all.

As for the tigerseal, apparently you can get it off with rubbing and a hairdryer.

it was the drain pipes, but the seal wasnt even stuck on with anything! that cant be good!

my dad removed the tigerseal while i was having a strop thankfully. Going back out now to sort out the inside of the car.
