53 Saxo VTS - End of an Era RIP
 

As most know i have a 1.0 16v Micra...

Re-birth of my old 1.1i Saxo imo. RIP. :D

So after weeks of searching and many debates on what to get i came across this totally standard VTS with FSH ETC so went to view it asap. It was up for £1500 but i had no intention of paying that. ;) I paid in the end £1350.

16/1/2012
Day i went to look at it;







18/19/1/2012
2 days later i picked it up;







Plans;

Fit the Supersprint 2" that i had on my old Saxo.

Give the archs a clean, alloys.

Repaint the calipers.

Maybe change the air filter later on. (no not a gay cone a better panel filter).


Give the engine a clean, archs a rinse wash wax etc.

Than enjoy it as it is..

for now..

Double post on the service history...

Get it lowered!

Took it off anyway pud!

Meh, i might.

Too right mate. The back looks crazy high. Car looks clean though. The plans sound good too.

Looks high because most are used to seeing either decked or lowered w.e on here.

Cheers. :hug:

arnt the 8v and 16v SS systems different to each other?

its mad to think how high these things actually sit standard!

I'd forgotten what standard ride hieght looked like! Feck me.

its a nice base to start from though nevertheless. :)

Im just putting the back box on for now. Practically new was only on my 1.1 for a month.


Thanks.. :A: :hug:

Tidy looking car mate, but as mentioned, looks Hella High at the back! ;)

Cant wait till i get a VTS, maybe September time. Glad you stuck to a Saxo mate.

That looks higher than standard at the back IMO. Looks like a great car though, bargain!

Thanks. Ive have wanted a S for ages but jobless i could do fack all. Work works wonders :D i know ive slagged :homme: them off but i love them to bits tbh. :oops:

Wont be having anymore after this so i thought, why not just get the VTS? quotes came back a few quid cheaper than the 1.0 Micra so i thought it would be rude not to.

Cheers mate.

He was a nightmare to haggle with! he was adiment i was paying £1500. I was no m8.. few mins later.. deal.

WTF! how does that work, lol! To be fair, i had a 1.1 106 and got a cheaper quote on a 1.8 Astra Sxi, lol...

Cant wait to get me 3 years no claims :)

;)

Already got 3 but soon to be 4.

Well ive subscribed, see how things go :)

:hug:

It might not be as great as others on here (mods wise) but i'll see how it goes. :)

Wont be doing any tacky stuff thats fo sho...

youll have to get it along the next RR day, ill be organising another soon once ive got the new turbo on and mapped :y:

been looking at your progress thread and i seen your vtr turbo at peal and the valley last time i was there on a sunday night (couple month back) it is awsome mate i love it :P :y:

Good work on the haggling dude. 10% off is a good result

Looks tidy but definitely needs dropping!
