LVC's VTR update 12/09/09 MOT and interior goldified
 

right ive been on this sight too long now not to have a progress thread so here it is

i passed my test on april 25th 2007 and then spent any spare time from college hunting for a gold furio as i had seen one around norwich and had to have one.

well things got difficult and i couldnt really find one that was either any good or had not been kaned :(. so i did an insurance quote on a VTR and surprisingly i got one for 1600 fully comp so the search widened and i fianlly found a gold VTR with full service history completely standard owned by a middle aged mechanic in newark get in :y:

it looked like this



then it stayed like this as it was my only first year at college so i spend all my hard earned cash on :drink: and my insrunce sadly :( i also had the fastest car at college :cool: till some rich twat got given a focus ST

then for my 18th i got my private plate S28 LVC and a pair of smoked rear jewles (i dont have any original pics as i had'nt heard of sax-p till a year later :fcuk:) the only pics i do have are when this tractor parked next to me lol


then my second year at college the sax stayed the same as i spend even more money on :drink: and insurance.

so now we get to the good bits if your still reading this lol i left college and got a job as a trainee accountant dull i know but it pays well, so i started spending money on saxing up the sax ;)
first thing i did was to get these cool mats


then i joined sax-p and did this ;)

i still havent been spotted yet :(

then i bought these alloys as i saw them on a VTS in crete (greece) and had to ask the guy what they were as i loved them. They are SSW Nirvanas 16's! wrapped in toyo proxes :P


after buying the alloys i had to get it lowered by -40mm on spax suspension kit

so here are some before and after pics






then i started faffing about with the ice. luckily my step dad had a pair of genesis front speakers, kinetic comps and an alpine HU so he gave them to me free of charge and helped me fit them what a hero!







then xmas 2008 came and i had no money to spend on the saxo so it had to wait



then i got some more cash in january and started to change the exterior by fitting angels, smoking the fogs, removing the rear wiper and a fitting dimma grill!! thanks to sax-p i managed to do these all myself :y:



thats how it stayed till about the start of april 2009 when i got bored of the dimma grill being black and wanted to spray it gold so it blended in with the car.
so i took a trip to halfrauds to get a couple of tinnies to do the job and it turned out like this

not bad for £20 imo :y:

then the joys of owning a saxo kicked in and the central locking fucked up so as i had always wanted a cat 1 alarm i did some research and found that i wanted a clifford 650 mkII.
so having looked around in East Anglia the cheapest they could do one for was £450 :fcuk: this is where sax-p comes in again i found out that reevesy_vtr does them for alot less.
so a couple of weeks ago it meant a trip down to essex whith my mate to get reevesy to fit me one, i would recommend him to anyone hes a top guy and knows exactly what hes on about :y:
here are some pics



and thats how she stands for the moment
future plans:
are to get the thrust bearing fixed and the knocking when turning (done)
magnex cat back (coming soon keep your eyes peeled)
206 gti brakes (got a fast road kit instead as no longer going on a track)
106 gti leather
and maybe 2 10" subs with an amp (not sure as i like fishing and i would have nowhere to put my gear if i did this)

all comments and suggestions welcome

thanks lloyd

looks good there mate :y:
only thing im not too keen on is the wheels....and get it lowered :D !!!

looks great :) love all the gold and black themes

looks nice but could do with goin abit lower

cheers dude :y: i thought about going lower but it just handles so well atm that i think im going to leave it as it is :)

thanks mate i like them to even though every gold saxo seems to have the black and gold theme going on lol

cheers mate :D like i said to nick it handles really well so i think im just going to stick to the height its at :y:

if your in the east anglian area lookout for a black saxo in my avatar.. and toot your horn :)

maaaate.....if you think it handles well like that, lower it and you will be amazed. i got mine lowered 40mm and firstly it sits really well, and the handling is amazing. can hit corners so fast and theres just complete connection to the road. trust me :y:

how much did the alarm set you back mate??

it is lowered 40mm mate thats why i really like it, does yours look lower then? :ponder:

but sadly i live in the country and the roads are completely filled with pot-holes so i wouldnt want to go much lower than 40mm anyway :y:

will do mate i drive around norwich and great yarmouth so if your around i'll give you a beep lol :P

it was £350 mate reevsey_vtr did it for me and i would seriously recomend him to anyone he knows exactly what hes doing :y:

sorry, i was looking at the top pics. yeah seen the lowered photo. that looks better and looks more like 40mm....and handling at 40mm is amazing....same as me :y: although mine still looks lower :S :

nice ride especially the alloys! Aree you gona change the exhaust?

nice car

likein it

yeah i love the handling at 40mm its awesome :D i have to agree yours does look lower but the pics ive got on there were when it first got done so its settled a bit since then.

cheers i love the alloys to :y: yeah an exhaust is my next buy after getting the thrust bearing and cv joint fixed :wall:
thank you squire! :cool:

The sax looks wicked mate, love it.:y:

stunning car love her shoes there diffrent and just look great on the car

Looks good, apart from wheels! :y:

okay car mate not too keen on the wheels though but each to their own :)

yeah the wheels are like marmite you either love them or hate them but like you say each to there own :y:
