My story! lol Update 10/3/07
 

Well well it's my turn and seeing as everyone been doing it i thought i might as well join in on the fun!

This will be updated as much as possible depending on amount of time i have and if i cba updating pics onto pc :P

The Start

After i passed my test i drove around in one of these for awhile.

A lovly 1.6 16v mitsubishi carisma



After driving this around for about 4months i decided to buy my self a mk2 astra project car. Orig 1.6l

Aftering moding this with alloy wheels "pics to come" and exhaust system + sound system. and of course slamming the thing.

It was time for a new engine. So after endless hard work i purshed and put a 2l red top in the beast.

Durring this phase i used to see saxo owner and laff at them!

After geting bored of my Astra i started looking on ebay for a new car.

i always wanted a RS turbo so i went about looking at them. untill one day i was plotting around in my astra and my m8 comes out in his 106 gti.
I diden't relise how quick and gd at handerling these car's were untill then.

i quickly purshed a SAXO VTR 1999 with 63k on the clock for 2k






I bought it like that. It came with Bucket seats,CD player,17" evo3 supersilver alloys, Smooth boot, performance cam + remap. etc

Bargin ;) Drove it home and was instantly impressed with handerling and the speed. Sorry VTS you are slowing that my 2l redtop :P

to be continued

lights off get the exhaust to sit better other than that a nice car mate :y:

Nice car mate :) Looks good £2k seems a very good price considering wha it came with :y:

Sweet car mate, as predator said, sort that exhaust out and it'll be perfect

Are you going to do any mods yourself?

Zaust sticks out like a cannon :o

Nice but need to loose thr elights as well

colour code mirrors, sort the bonnet out, it aint a scooby, and get some mk1 rear lights and it will be awesome.

its not upto date yet is it?

guess not.......

not being harsh, dont really like ewt on it

its looks much better now

new engine too ;)

Part 2

In answer to all your questions i have owned this car a very very long time and have modded it alot. There always has to be a start to somthing.

So i wasen't new to the modding scence as i had modded one car already and help'd many mates do theres.

Problems

Obviously been a french car there is bound it be problems. I picked the car up from brigton. the owner had told the the power steering was playing up.
I got it back on the IoW and it instalantly went. I drove it around for about 1week like this, and then got it fixed. for 50quid. New ignition lol.

Music

This was only temp for the time been, been pissed of with stanard speakers.
So did a bodge job :) Also retrimed all the interier in blue.



What a mess :P





More to come.

Not sure i like the blue inside, but asw long as you do!

Ripspeed headunit

down from £600 to about £200 now

none faceoff :O - not a bad headunit for the money

Lose the lights - fix exhaust - and stick some vts rims on

only payed 300 for it so wasen't to fussed. had a 400 budget at the time. and got that :P

hie them wires in the boot, it would miles tidier if you do!
