MK2 White Saxo 1.1, VTR Replica Project
 

Long time no speak people, I used to own a MK1 1.1 Saxo Desire which just died on me and felt horrible. I have now picked up this lovely MK2 Saxo 1.1 VTR replica.









Had it for a tad, head gasket went on the M1 in Sheffield and had to get it recovered back to Manchester,

Friend fitting new engine with less mileage end of month so will be back on the road.

Plans are,

Spray some outside trim matte black
Bonnet raisers
Smoke front lights
Take the daft sticker rear badge and fix the botched up job of the first de-badge that only has electric tape covering the holes under the tailgate :wall:
ICE Install
Tint windows
Lower car 60mm

Not thought of any new ideas yet, will keep you posted.

why would anyone make a 1.1 into a vtr replica? just buy a vtr?

Insurance is a bomb in the Manchester postcode for a 19 year old, I love the flat arch but I just wanted a VTR replica in white. :P

It does look nice, fair play to you for buying it, just not sure why someone created it in the first place lol

Yeah I get your point too, the guy who did it botched up some of the paintwork in places, amateur work. So getting the paintwork detailed up, just got to wait for payday to get the engine replaced. :y:

Looks really well from the front nice colour too.

Yeah just some bits need touching up, apart from that its good and the interior smells and looks brand new!

What about adding a mk2 spoiler?

White or black?

white imo

I'd choose white, but either will look good :y:

I was thinking that, going to spray the side bits of plastic, don't know what trim it is the one in the middle of the car from arch to arch. Black to add a stock look to it.

Forgot to add, interior.

Ye think that would look better I'm not a massive fan of having them colour coded.

White is great just gets on top when its just all white. :n:

i have a mk2 spoiler for sale if you interested

a bit of tidying up and it'll look smart :)

Wut... Because the insurance costs are just a tad different and the flat arch looks shite? Looks nice, love white VTs :y:

how much u talking delivered?

Its in my for sale thread

But I'm taking offers on it all as I want it all gone

looks tidy :), i get the insurance & why its been done, i thought i was the only one that likes bonnet raisers lol, not sure on the white interior i usually like all black, look forward to seeing the modds done :)

Cheers mate, was there when I got the car, needs to be all black imo too. Yeah bonnet raisers are gash :afro:

:y:, raisers are for aerodynamics ;)

Apologies for the slow updates,



Car has had a load of problems, head gasket went on the car so went to have that done, then kept revving on its own so changed the rev sensor, then no luck with that so came to the conclusion that the inlet manifold was cracked so picked one up for about £25 and finally on the road.


When driving down the road the car makes a nocking noise, could it be the steering collum? has a tendancy to steer a tad sometimes to one side, mate said could be rear axel on its way out may have lost the bearings?


Cheers :)

droplinks,tracking,topmount bearings ect. Check the nuts on the lower arms are tight too (footwell aswell) edit;also it could be your anti rollbars in the beam as i found out..

Beam is play/camber ect. You'll know if its no good.

Mate said it looked abit off and possibly cambered.
