Pics needed imho

A trip back to October 07 now when i bought the car. Its a Phase 2 VTR in wicked red and had 50k on the clock.

Here is how she looked standard.

I started tinkering almost straight away with cosmetic things and had the rear windows tinted almost limo black and smoked the headlights.

For a long time i wanted to do a red and white theme so out came the rattle cans

Wizzy · 11th April 2009, 15:03

Calm down guys, im on it

Wizzy · 11th April 2009, 15:27

White VTR alloys, badges and interior were next on the cards. Spent the best part of a week locked away in the garage inhaling paint fumes

The results were worth it though imo

This is how it stayed for a rather long time due to lack of money. At the time though i liked it, but the wheels were a pain to keep clean.

Jump forward to may 08 now. Id landed myself a nice little job as a mechanic at a local garage, so with the money now flowing in it was time to crack on with the saxo!

Kam Racing supplied a 35mm apex kit

and a trip to the scrap yard threw up a magnex backbox for 20 quid!

As for the suspension the front was a doddle to fit but the rear took a few goes...

1st attempt

After a bit of trial and error i got it sitting how i liked it.

At the same time i fitted an OMP lower brace and painted the brake calipers blue.

Wizzy · 11th April 2009, 15:58

Next came a supersprint race centre section. This was a pain in the arse to fit to the backbox. I had to cut the centre pipe down and use a VAG exhaust clamp to hold the two bits together.

Its not pretty but it does the job well.

This made the car sound much better, but i found the backbox dulled alot of the volume.

I also got an e-tech upper strut brace and a raceland induction kit with green cotton filter

The raceland i was dissapointed with, it felt really cheap and nasty and the fake carbon effect was just hideous! Looking back i would of gone for a simota anyday.

Ben · 11th April 2009, 15:04

Looks good but hurry up i wanna see more lol.

badasssaxo · 11th April 2009, 16:01

badasssaxo · 11th April 2009, 16:27

Danr · 11th April 2009, 16:30

I like the gloss black centre console. Might have to consider that on the 206.

Nah the lower mount was the easiest of the bushes to fit. Just unbolt the mount and smack the old bush out with a hammer. Mine came out with one hit. The just hammer the new bush in and refit. Took about 15 mins

shooorn94 · 11th April 2009, 18:08

Looks great bud, love wicked red mk2 sax's. Have you had the car on a RR at all since fitting the exhaust and mani?

Keep up the good work, I look forward to new updates

Wizzy · 11th April 2009, 18:11

98brake R? Fully serviced, 4-2-1 piper mani, decat, supersprint centre and magnex box? Should see 115 at fly maybe more, (that just me guessing from other figures I've seen at local RR on vtr's).

Get one done when the cams are wacked in and remapped... car going on track in near future?
