Hi, brought my saxo vtr for £750 on a 51 plate with 89k on the clock. Bodywork is pretty much immaculate baring a couple of small car park dents. I only brought it as a run around while my other car was in the garage but iv fell in love with it and my other car is now sold! Since then iv MOT'ed it, which it passed first time with only minors being brakes and backbox deteriorated.
I first off replaced the brakes all round and free'd up a seized caliper on the rear which has made it brake loads better. I also painted the calipers yellow
I then got a custom stainless backbox made up and changed the induction kit over. Its only a cheap ebay job but so was the original and the filter on the original was in a right state so need changing!
Its got a alpine headunit and large amp in the boot powering some 8" inch 3 way pioneer speakers (yes i said 8") which sound very nice but leaving me with the sound stage right at the back of the car as in the front there are some rubbish fusion 13cm speakers powered from the headunit which i am going to replace with some 13cm vibe (i know vibe arnt the best but they are the only 13cm components i could find in my price range which can handle the power of the amp) components run from the amp which will bring the sound stage forward slightly i hope but tbh im not very bothered about sounds but it sounds nice and goes loud without any distortion so im happy.
Other plans are lowering (got some 35mm apex springs), rest of the exhaust system, maybe a remap as a friend of a friend works at revo so wont cost me to much, and a couple of other VERY subtle bits of yellow to tie in with the calipers.
