My old 1.6 (1.1) saxo i miss :(
 

here is my sadly missed saxo i wish i never sold and then worst of all the person that bought it off me only had it a few months and thought he would find it funny to see my face when he took it to the scrap yard :(.





Started life as a 998cc eastcoast
Here are some of mods cant remember them all but here goes:
1.6 vtr engine
green air filter
4-2-1 manifold straight through to universal back box 4" tip (used a vtr rear bumper for exhaust cut out so it didnt look stupid)
coilovers
vtr driveshafts
vtr hubs with drilled and grooved brake disks
black vtr alloy wheels
slammed (120mm rear) dont know front as i slammed it to start off with and found lowest i could go without snapping anymore driveshafts haha :)
tinted rear 3 windows
vtr interior (clocks etc)
tinted jewel rear lights
raised bonnet
angel eye headlights
stripped interior

Cant remember what else but i loved it and reciepts show that i spent over £4000 just parts lol

you spent 4k on a 1.0? :fcuk:

not sure if that's madness or dedication, could have bought a badass vts for that price...

i know but you must know what its like to get addicted to modifying a car and not realising how much you end up spending haha, i would never say it was a mistake though

plus it stuck like glue to a vts until 100

i like :p do you have any more pics. would like to see the rear aswell. what did you spend 4k on? i'm upto 1k spent on the car not including the car which was 2k 5 years ago when i got it

That looks awesome!

nahh wish i did mate, it was just standard from behind apart from the bumper cut out and 4" tip back box, im so tempted to do it again, and well you know how it is when modifying a car and keep changing your mind on parts.
overall i recon 1000-1500 would make it look like this,
tell ya what though with no weight they have the rear end out a dream and was well easy to handle

Looked pretty nice! Bit low on the rear for my taste though

to be honest it might be because it was my car in my opinion i havent seen a 1.1 look half as good its all the little chavs with stickers everywhere making them look takky and massive back boxes without the cut out making the backbox aim at the floor

I totally agree, 1.1's are normally driven by 17 year olds who don't know anything about tasteful car modifying :)

Looks nice.

Cleaning those archs must of been a challenge.

lmao what are you on about!? Have you seen some of the 1.1's/flatarch on this site?? I could get you loads of pictures of lovely ones in about 5 minutes!

Well put it this way there was a 2mm gap from the rear wheel to the rear arch lol
Thanks for opinions keep them coming :)

wouldnt mind seeing these other 1.1s have tried searching but nothing, post some links mate

:homme:

my wheel is in the arch :p

edit - have a look at my thread mate

Also search for packham, tomsmarty, robbieflatarch, greensaxo, and probably loads of others i've forgotten lol

thats in the top 3 best 1.1's for me

Other 2 faves are Jdubs and saxostuart i think hes called

they are nice but not too keen on the mk2 saxo's

cant find either of them 2 fancy posting some pics?

jdub before he put half a vt kit on (which imo looked better before)


saxostuart

Is that a vtt front bumper on saxo stuarts?, cant really see it on phone

found a pic of rear of my old saxo found it on my mates fb

So no-one thought Willsy's 1.0 was the best?

That wasn't a flatarch though was it?

Looked good that but I'm 22 and drive one not 17 :p

How come your mate scrapped it anyway?

It was at some point in its life lol

no its a 1.0litre black bumper with a laguna splitter

pretty nice. check my thread below lol 1.1 flatty :y:

It was pretty nice yes.

Shame he broke it tbf.. im sure i read ages back the shell isnt getting looked after as well as he hoped?

that had a vt kit though so doesnt really count

was awesome though

Which lip is this mate?
