Dan's Mk1 VTS Track Project - The End - Saxperience

Dan-Subtle^m · 13th June 2011, 22:13

Well it's been about a year since I had a saxo so when one came up for sale close to me for a cheap price I thought why not.

Mk1 VTS
only modification is lowered by about 80-90mm and 106 mirrors

plans are to do a bit of maintenance on the engine
sort out the vibrating from engine area
tidy up some areas of the vt kit where they have come loose
buy and fit panel filter
buy and fit wind deflectors
buy and fit supersprint 2in system
try and source a good cheap gti leather interior

here's a few pics

Looks the perfect base mate
i must admit im actually a little jealous.

plans sound good too but it also needs Morettes

jeffchiz · 13th June 2011, 22:31

glad your back mate!

might sound like an idiot here but is it black or grey? looks black in the first pic but grey in the second two lol

Dan-Subtle^m · 13th June 2011, 22:36

Cheers matey, morettes are ok but want it to look pretty oem.

The colour of it is like a very dark grey, I think it's a pretty rare colour but still to confirm this. It's in pretty good condition for a P reg.

Ahh dans back

Currently in the garage having the vibration fixed, turned out to be the top engine mount near the cambelt.

Modifications will start rolling now!!!

Dan-Subtle^m · 25th June 2011, 15:43

Now back on the road, drives ok for a 125000 mile vts, got some work to do in next couple of weeks, new cambelt, replace gearbox and both shafts, fit new clutch and fit some jp4 covers if I can source some.

First purchase is on it's way, pipercross panel filter.

Saw you in this today along Thanet Way...

Looks clean.

Dan-Subtle^m · 26th June 2011, 08:58

Mr Rey how are ya?

You seen my old saxo (x389 vap) about anywhere? Last time I saw it the kid had ruined it by getting certain panels resprayed but in a different shade of blue. He actually tried selling it back to me.

Thanks matey yeh it's surprisingly clean for it's age.

Just trying to work out a few deals for a couple of new additions for it.

Dan-Subtle^m · 28th June 2011, 20:57

Alrite Scott, engine mount near cambelt had worn and someone had bodged it to try and fix it according to the garage. Driving ok now apart from needing a new gearbox soon.
