Just bought myself a new Saxo its my second one now and think I have got a really nice car here :A: So yeah just thought i'd upload some pictures of it! Let me know what you all think and I kinda need some ideas on what I can do next...

Here we go... Sorry for the big upload guys!



















Let me know what you all think :y:

Will get some of the engine tomorrow :)

Just thought i'd also add what the car is running on etc as i forgot last night!

Its running a 106 gti engine on 50k and the shell is on 83k.
Combination cams
Raceland 4-2-1 stainless steel manifold
Piper exhaust system de-cat full system
Half cage
Rage bucket seats with salbelt harness' in black
Lowered 60mm on front and back on spaxx springs
Team dynamic pro race 1.2 wheels 15"
Big brake conversion usure of size think it was 200 and something mm says on a reciept somewhere
K&N induction kit.

Was thinking about sticker bombing the roof of my car inside... Whats everyone think?

love this car mate looks mean, i want a mk1, ive done the same as you gta engine out of a gti in my mk2 check my progress :), ur engine 3 or 1 plug

Cheers mate, I'll have a look when I'm on the laptop cos I'm on my phone now and not sure could be 3 could be 1 I'll have a look :)

Just had a look and think its 3 plug :)

Looks great mate, bet it goes pretty well too!!

Personally I would change the headlights as they don't really go with the track type look the cars got going on with the buckets and cage etc.

Will keep an eye on this ;)

nice ride there mate :) mk1s are 1 plug unless the interior wiring has been changed when engine was changed

v.nice like the silver and black goes well, looks a nice ride hight too not to low..

Its like a little pocket rocket mate! Yeah i was unsure at first, i think they look pretty nice now but i kinda want some morrettes :cool:

Cheers pal :)

Must be then, its covered up on had a cheeky look down the side just guessed at 3. Also cheers VTS Lozza i just need some new shocks to soften the ride a bit haha:p

Looks great, love the wheels;)

Car looks nice mate

To start, I like my pictures and its always going to be picture heavy haha!

Decided to start work on my interior the yesterday i know its only spraying atm but i thought i'd spray the center console and the two side vents a nice red which is going to be my theme inside :).

Primer


Finished


Sorry for the really crappy quality just took them quick on my phone!

Also got a few more pictures taken by friends so its going to be quite picture heavy for a bit while everyone keeps seeing my car :p





















Last but not least one of my favorite photos :y:


Sorry if anyones PC died whilst viewing this thread :p

Cheers for the comments guys :)

My car has a mind of its own!
 

Right hit a problem the other day :(. Basically my petrol gauge was showing that I had fuel in the car but when I went to start it, it wouldn't work, so after playing with the car and getting a new crank sensor i finally decided to try and see if adding more fuel made it go which it did :D.

Again the same problem happened today where the fuel gauge shows that I have more than enough fuel for the car to go yet it didn't again until I added fuel. However, when i'm driving the car for the last time before I turn it off and then it doesn't start, the car doesn't splutter or make any noises to show its got no fuel which i'm finding really odd :/.

Has anyone else had this problem or know what the F**K is up with my Shitroen?

Sorry for the rant I hope everyone understands what I just wrote :ponder:

looks sweet reminds me of my old silver mk1

Just something quick I know its late and I know its not in the right section before people start to kick off on one post as people are tired and grouchy as its way past there bedtime but yeah...

Got a VTR engine on 87k if anyone fancies it will upload a picture on request and also a powerflow full system de-cat for an 8v again will upload a picture if one is requested :)

Just one other note... My little pocket rocket here kept up with a Seat Leon Cupra R the other day and also beasted a 11 plate BMW 3series nothing special but awwwww yeeeeee!

Right yesterday I gave the car a good clean and decided that I was going to mesh my grill. Was really un sure of the result but I do kinda like it now but it was dark last night when I managed to finish it so I'll upload some pictures of that later on today!

Headlights and seats look terrible dude..

Apart from those niggles, looks a tidy car!

What lights would you suggest then? I want some morrettes but funds are tight atm. Also I want some other seats with a carbon fibre back but again funds are tight.

Cheers though!

Update 24/10/2011
Right after a long time of saying I was going to upload pictures here they are finally. So I did my grille just incase anyone forgot and I also decided to spray my tow hook on the back and finally installed my fire extinguisher after owning it about a year :L.

Nice touch I think


Red tow hook


Last but not least the mesh grille :D



Next to come this week going to finish off painting my calipers red :y:

Sorry the pictures are really crappy just took them on my phone because I couldn't be bothered to find my camera.

Comments welcome :)

looks good, headlights look alright to me. not a fan of the pug1off stickers though
and btw the standard brakes are 247mm, so if you have bigger ones, theyll most likely be 266 or 283mm

silver mk1 ftw ;)

Silver Mk1 FTW ( VTS of course ;) )

Cheers mate :) they must be 283mm then cos they're huge :L. I kinda like the pug1off stickers I think it makes it look unique especially around my area ;)

Big change?
 

Okay right yes its one of those late night thoughts when you just look out the window at your car and think 'hmm I wondering what it would look like if I did this...' So yeah basically I've been looking around at cars etc and thinking about going for a JDM look or sort of 'low and slow' that kinda look.

Thought to do this because I have enough power as it is and more power + rising fuel cost = fucking empty wallet!

Just wondering what everyone was thinking and would it look good on a phase one seeing as they are just a small box?

Idea's and comments welcome :) I have some ideas but open to other peoples opinions :y:

Anyway late night rant over :afro:

no ideas? come on guys/girls seriously...

its got a cage and buckets so might as well track look etc.. but up to you..

and get some more power under the hood :p

Nice car I like it except for the pug1off sunstrip etc.

Hmm yeah I suppose so :/. Its such a hard decision I keep changing my mind :wall:

What power... ITB's maybe ;)

Looks very nice!! wil have to watch out for you when im in Crewe........

Cheers mate :). I have not tax atm but I'll be about within the week with it :D

stupid stickers get rid - other than that mate it looks nice gd job

Well it seems alot of people are hating on the pug1off stickers haha! Just like to announce that I didn't put them on, pug1off did when they did the engine conversion :afro:

Cheers mate. Sure i've seen your sax around crewe?

Ive seen this car before, are you the lad who used to have the ST or has it changed hands again?

No mate I bought it off the lad who had the ST a few months back now, I think he has a focus ST now though? Also just a quick update took the pug1off sticker off the front of my saxo not taken a picture yet as the glue is still on the window just not had the time to take it off yet as it was going dark and cold the other day so whimped out and left it for now.

However a little surprise came through the post yesterday and boom here we go!


;)
