The Gold cammed 1400 VTS
 

Hello, my name is Tim, i'm from The Netherlands and I'm the proud owner of a gold saxo 1.4 VTS for a few months now. 1.4 VTS? yes it's a common model in Europe allmost simular to the furio or the westcoast in the UK,

When I bought the car it had run 80000 km and allready had some nice mods. The car allready was lowred, I've looked under the car a few times but I can't find out wich lowering kit was used. There also where some nice alloys: 15" CMS Nemesis with michelin 195/45 15V78 tyres. Under the car there where allready a supersprint cat-back centre pipe and a Supersprint Magnum backbox installed. At last there was also a GT136 alarm system installed.

I've been doing some mods myselve:
- Raceland 4-2-1 manifold
- Raceland closed induction system
- Sebring stainless steel decat pipe
- Compbrake quickshift
- De-pinned the doors
- Upper front strutbrace
- Some ICE: Kenwood KDC-BT8041U head unit, 2 x MTX XT502, 2 x MTX XT693 and a JBL BASS PRO II active subwoofer

Things to do:
- installing a VTR TB whit inlet mani
- Replacing the raceland air-filter cone for a green/k&n/pipercross replacement(any suggestions???)
- Do a good check if the exhaust system isn't blowing
- Replacing the door pannels with plane black ones
- Flushing & bleeding the radiator and engine because the engine gets to hot to quick and there is brown stuff in the resorvoir
- Wrapping the mani
- Fixing the front bumber(there is a small gap between the bumber and the right headlight)
- Replacing the rearlight with saxo mk1 rearlights
- Lightweight alloy crankshaft pulley
- Fixxing up and painting the alloys(thinking about painting them some sort of black)
- Cleaning up the enginebay

In the future when my wallet allows it:
- Race seats
- Race cams and a remap
- Or even better a VTR or VTS 16V engine

So let me know what you think about it and if you got some suggestions or tips for me...

very nice looking car mate! get reid of the wipper on the back. will mate it look alot nice:D :D

yea its looking well. was guna say the same as him ^^ lol

maybe tint the back windows, and a sports grill maybe??

Thanks mates but I want to keep the rear whipper but maby i'm going to replace it with a flat wipper so it does't look so huge. Giving the windows a tint is a great idea! And i want to paint the grill or the citroen logo first.

looks really really clean in that first picture, eat your dinner of it!

^^ i kno yea!! looks banging mate!! what polish do you use cus thats come up stunning?

Lol i'm hearing that ^^ a lot. I've been working at a carwash for a few years as a weekend job so I can use the carwash for free every week:P I believe they use shampoo & wax from a brand called Sonax

thats soo smartttt :)

Have been going to a few scrapheaps for a VTR inlet and TB but could not find anything. Does anyone know where i can buy them online???

Georgous car mate, do you know what the alloys are?

that looks very nice mate, a couple of things i would do are, standard fuel cap and re-furb the wheels in antharacite

CMS Nemesis, sorry mate still don't know where the citroen logo came from

that is indeed a nice color for the alloys. maby i'm also going to spray the grill in the same color.

finally found an bought a inlet mani including sensors and TB for a VTR from Sparco_Tom(thanks mate), hopefully it gets here next week so i can fit it on to the car. Up next: finding a decent replacement filter for in my raceland airbox. suggestions anyone?

Little update: Bin bussy yesterday, i've painted my upper torsion bar black because when i bought it was very rusty and not so nice colored


also meshed my grill what was a hell of a job because my dremell tool stoped working after 5 minutes:n: so i had to do al the cutting by hand. Not yet happy with the result as the grill doesnt fit nicely anymore


I've also orded a light weight alloy crank pully, alternator pulley and belt thanx to the saxperience group buy:y:

Nice car you got there....
grill looks good bud and strut brace :y:

thanx mate

looks good mate

I've stopped searching for a green replacement filter for my raceland enclosed and bought an other filter and fitted it today:


It sounds much better then the original raceland cone:p Also repaired the meshed grille, looks much better now, still thinking of color coding it or painting the whole grille black. Any sugestions?

got something in the mail today: Alloy 8V crank pully

thanks to Colin & qrty for setting up the group buy:y:

Smoked my side-repeators to:

And painted the chrome ring around the gator black:

Hopefully the TB will arive tomorrow so i can fit that as well
