Helloooo Sax-P =D

Sorry for the week and a bit wait, haven't been able to upload any pictures to Photobucket for a few weeks so here goes;

Goodbye to my old VTR, It was hard letting you go, but it was for the best;


Im the new owner of Tom's 106 GTi.. The Spec;

P reg GTi
80k on clock
Cams, apparently! *But will make sure when the new Engine gets built for it*
Half Leather interior *Mint Condition*
Some sort of momo racing steering wheel *Swapping for Standard Steering wheel soon*
Induction kit / oil filter
4-1 manifold
De-Cat
Loud ass exhaust
16" Nimrods in white
Stud Conversion
Lowered 60mm front and about 100 at the rear
Front spliter
De-Badged boot
CD Player & 6x9's *Waiting till payday for them to go*
Clifford alarm

Pictures;

Cannot get it in and out of my drive without it scraping!







*Front Bumpstrips are in the Boot, Need to spray them soon*

The Plans

Engine bay;

- Raceland 4-2-1 Manifold Done
- Predator Standalone ECU *When Wages Improve*
- Jenvey Throttlebodies
- Engine Re-wiring - Looks like its had a homemade bodge atm Done
- Strut brace
- Cam Covers need a spray Done
- Fix that damn oil leak! Done

Rebuilding another 16v Engine I have at the moment. Should be fitted by Feb 2011. Given that away to DB_Sax

Exterior;

- Raise the rear for it to sit level
- Paintwork needs sorting

- Stonechips on the bonnet
- Alloys flaking a tiny bit Gone
- Angel Eyes Headlights
- Front Bumpstrips need spraying and attaching Dond

*Maybe: If I have enough spare money floating around next year, respray time*

Interior;

- Replace the Steering wheel with a Standard one OMP Corsica
- Grinder time for the Gearstick lock *serious amounts of security the car has on it!*
- Red Carpet
- Maybe whore out my ICE for a while till I go for the bodies Done

Comments and Criticism always welcome..

Im waiting for a pay rise before most of these plans get done, struggling for money with the 3k Insurance lol

Ive tried 2 other Oil caps but with no luck

I love this car, still need to take it out to drive, pay day is close so I can finally put petrol in it

It leaves massive holes in the side of the door tho Not sure how to overcome that problem so if I do go ahead with the respray, its on the list.

STOP STALKING ME I was going to go, you there this weekend?

[nicole_]

good i hate those side strips
and yeh its meant to be a massive one in mk this weekend but think its at ikea/asda not hockey
i wasnt stalking, on like tuesday you said you were gunna come!

[Dom]

Yeahh I came on the tuesday Just couldn't be asked to on the Sunday

Where is Ikea/Asda? Can you show me on a map?

[Dom]

Just a tiny update;

Front Bumpstrips sorted


& Just to cure my shite headlight problem, Saxo_Bigbass's 10k HID Kit.. Yeaaaah mate, let the whoring commence;



I will go into more detail about all this later, off out now, comments and criticism always welcome

[Jay_]

get the arse of it off the floor and it will look 10x's better!

[D--R--E--W]

Just a bit too low at the rear though the front sits perfect. Can't believe Tom never had that bay clean

Rear will be getting raised 30mm How do you mean clean? like Beaniemoo's clean or just give it a little tidy?

[pc952212]

thats nice mate like it a lot

[D--R--E--W]

Clean as in spotless. Everything shiny shiny with a nice induction and nicepainted cam covers and shiz. Nice and pretty how mine used to be

Thanks fella It will be in for a few changes soon, mostly engine mods

Induction wise im not sure what to do, throttlebodies seem too much for me at the moment, I would wan't a nice and healthy 150bhp out of the car by going for cam's etc first. Bodies on a standard engine won't be as powerful?

Painted cam covers? or polished? Difficult decision..

Got any pictures of your old Saxo's engine bay?

[D--R--E--W]

After that it had a carbon fibre coilpack cover and a Carbon bmc cda with cold feed aswell but aint got pics

Oh, I couldn't find Engine bay pics in your progress thread, thanks for posting these

I will be staying with the old style 16v covers instead of the C2 covers, wan't to keep the bay 'Original' I think the word i'd use

Are the BMC's good? been told by a guy locally that they are, but iirc they ain't as good as they are made out? I was thinking K&N Gen II as an upgrade in Induction for a while.

[D--R--E--W]

I think it was good especially once the cold feed was fed straight onto it.

I had plans with it but just didnt want to spend money onit

And yes it is a little too low at the rear

HID's look good Dom, i want some for my car

[3cott]

Needs cf bump strips
Looks nice tho

[Banks_VTR]

Have to agree with what some others have said about the rear being too low. Other than that there is nothing i can fault, love this car mate!
