Plans for this year are:
General tidying up, spraying a few bits and bobs
New wheels come September/October
Get car professionally detailed



How it was when i got it


Got smoked rear jewel lights and dewipered it. Then got it lowered 35/40mm courtesy of KrisB. I highly recommend him for any mechanical work on your French automobile!





I would love to down the BBS route but just cant afford it, so i did the typical thing...BSX's!

They came with 165 50 15 tyres and due to the wheels being 7J I got some 25mm spacers for the rear, and 15mm spacers for the front (both hubcentric). Even with 25mm they still seem to dissapear into my arches more than i'd like :(



Backbox is a 3inch tip rolled in Ashley. Also got some team heko wind deflectors.
Visited a scrappy to get some mirror caps :) And this is the extent of the progress so far.


(My cars not wonky its just my driveway)




I have a 60mm apex kit which is going on in January. And I'm probably going to lose the tints once its lower, havent decided yet. Comments welcome! :)

And a rolling shot because I really like dragging my blue ball of light along behind me! :)

My boot :)

And some new exhaust mounts which should get my backbox sitting slightly higher up.

looking very tidy matey :y:

Thanks :)

I'd lower it more around the 60mm range tbh with those wheels, Still looks really good though

Got an apex 60mm kit in my room as we speak, just got to wait till January so put it on :)

Anybody good with photoshop fancy taking one of the photos and lowering it to 60/70mm? :)

Not much of an update, Got some bright white LED's for Sidelights to match my rear numberplate lights. And also took a quick video to show how my exhaust sounds. Its just standard manifold and centre pipe with Ashley 3" Backbox. Sounds abit boring at low revs but I dont think it sounds too bad for the cost of it. :) Comments/Constructive criticism much appreciated!

P.S (crappy iphone quality pictures and video)

Looks nice do something with that grill? mesh it.. Also tint front lights, theres a guide on here :)

Yeh I've been looking at the guides of how to do both. I'll get both done at some point :)

Nicee will be gawjus!

Update - Got my Apex 60mm kit on...But should of read the description on KamRacing more closely as it only says "up to 60mm"...in reality this kit drops the front of a furio around 45mm :( So now I have 45mm front and 60mm rear :(
Looking at changing the front springs to some Spax 60mm which read as if they deffinetly do drop the front 60mm. Anyway...Heres some pictures! (also gave the car a good wash and wax today)











Opinions and advice welcome :)

It looks good mate, bit high at the front atm but remember the springs and dampers will settle a bit so should drop some more :y:

Love the alloys, did they cost much? What brand are they?

Lenso BSX and got them second hand for £280 :)

Thanks, yeh im hoping it will drop more, but after getting the tape measure out it doesnt look like its even going to be down 50mm :( So I'll be buying some 60mm springs asap! :)

looks gd dude, wot does the exhaust sound like coz ive got the same car as u and i wanna put my 3.5" cherry bomb on but im not sure how it will sound :S

Mines a 3" ashley backbox..It sounds abit boring n abit of a drone when in low revs but imo sounds pretty nice higher up in the revs, theres a video of it in this thread abit higher up if you want to hear :) :y:

They look well nice :)

Thanks :) They are spaced out 25mm at the rear and 15mm at the front, I think that makes a big difference to how they look on the car :y:

sick rims

Update
 

First of all, a question...How do I change the title of my progress thread each time like people do saying stuff like "New wheels" etc etc...?

Secondly, finally an update!
Sorted my ride height out now with a 50mm drop on the rear and 60mm spax springs on the front which = out at abut 50mm on a furio, using Apex shocks all round.
Then I sold my Lenso's after deciding I wanted something wider (8j) and I've found my new set off a fairly well known member on here, just waiting for him to find his new wheels first as I'm not in a massive rush. So until then Im using my old gloss black VTR wheels.
I then got myself a de-arieal blanking plug and put that on a couple weeks back.
A friend of mine with a posi blue furio similar to mine ran into engine trouble and ended up breaking. So within 24 hours of him deciding to break I had bought his boot, grill, smoked headlights, yellow tinted fogs and a bonnet bra!
I decided to lose the window tints as the new boot didnt have a tint on, plus I wasnt too fond of them anyway. Oh and I got some new Bosch Aero wipers! They're amazing!
To compliment the smoked headlights I also bought some Philips diamond vision bulbs (5K) and some chrome indicator bulbs.
So yesterday me and a couple friends (thanks Rich & Jon if you bother to read this) set to work on changing over the boot, headlights, foglights and grill.

Plans for this year are:
Get new wheels (Keskin KT8's 15x8)
GTI half leather interior
Gloss black bumpstrips
Desire doorcards
GAZ coilies (towards the end of the year)
BMC CDA induction kit, or Raceland Enclosed Induction kit
Anyway, enough talking, heres some pictures!

looked good on the old rims and without the bra. but good motor

Yeh the bra is only going to be used for when I go to devon in the summer, The new wheels will be better ;)

Looks tidy, I've got to get my front fogs yellow.

No engine/performance mods yet as Im hoping to move up to a VTS/GTI and would rather spend money on engine mods on that.

Went out earlier to grab some new photos after giving it a clean today. Only taken with an iPhone but enjoy! :)

good work fella, like it a lot!

Thanks buddy :)

Nice car mate. The yellow fogs go well with the blue.

Cheers, I think they go best with black or blue cars :)

i want another posi saxo :(

Looking cool mate :)

Love the alloys mate, wish i got them instead of the ones i have atm!

Lenso alloys that is**^

Lol cheers, they are nice, but I was too tempted by wider wheels :)

Absolutely love it! Every mod is spot on :y: Pulls off VTR wheels well, will keep my eye on this

Thanks mate that means alot! :)

A few new pictures for this months themed shot competition up at Hylands House in Hylands Park, enjoy...(my car looks kinda dwarfed by the house)

Not really any progress, Im in the process of buying my new wheels, and a GTI leather interior, so should all be in/on the car in around a month. Gave it a clean today, My zip-wax was semi-frozen when I went to pour it out! lol :)
