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

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

mattsteR11 · 18th January 2007, 20:51

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

Emma_ZS · 18th January 2007, 20:51

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

More to come.
