Chris84's black nos'd vts. (Full machine polish, new momo wheel, NITROUS KIT PICTURES 8/4/11 UPDATE!!!!!!

[chris84]

Thought it was about time for a little update as its been ages! I recently had my cam-belt, water pump and tensioner, idlers and full coolant change as well as new spark plugs and a compression test which came back spot on done at manic motors and had the rear raised to 60mm as i was sick of not having any suspention at all when it was down 80mm! I finally got round to tinting my fog lights and painting the rear calipers red to match the fronts. The fan got painted red as well and im on the look out for a second one to even it out a it looks a bit odd i think with housing for two but only one there! Heres a few pics from today, it needs a good clean but anyway here goes.




A pic of the lonely fan in need of a twin!












A few shots of my engine bay with new ash silicon induction hose




Got a couple of videos of my Raceland 4-2-1 with full s/s system:



Getting some mirror caps on very soon at last!!!It has been pissing me off for ages now, also got some heco wind deflectors coming this week and a dimma style grille so will put some pics up of them when i can.

Sounds mint mate, engine bay looks spotless.

[chris84]

Thanks mate, still a long way to go yet though. Ive only had the car since march, was bog standard when i bought it!

[chris84]

Little update for today, i received my heco wind deflectors and my dimma style grille the other day so got them fitted. The grille is a £25 posted off e-bay from America and is good quality and fit. The heco wind deflectors look smart as fuck on black cars i think. Any way heres a few pics

[saxomad197]

look good very clean you prob have another one. my mate had 14 mk5 fiesta zetec s before he stopped. everyone was going be his last one, he on his 28th car in 3 years of driving

[-shuggles-]

sounds like my old saxo:o looks good buddy

should get mk1 rear lights and I would say the bank end would be perfect

[chris84]

Cheers for the comments, aye i have been thinking mk1 rear lights would suit it better myself, might invest in some soon!

[piranhamatt]

Looks good
Deffo MK1 lights on rear, theyre practically standard and darker

[XdarbyX]

Thats one shiny saxo! looks great mate, especially the engine

[kierancee]

[SaxoIOW]

Ha, bet you cant wait for the conversion, my last saxo looked identical with the same wheels on in black but was a vtr, I thought you were going down the cammed vtr route aiming for around 130bhp?

[SaxoIOW]

Yea that was the idea but im looking for more power Going for the cammed 16v insted. And no i cant wait lol, just need to find a 3 plug engine and loom first

[chris84]

Gave the engine bay a bit of a clean today and took a pic, Have got a small update coming over the next few days which includes:

New omp upper strut brace in red,
Carbon effect battery cover,
Finally mirror caps!!!!,
Chrome indicator bulbs,
Mk 1 rear lights,
Re - sprayed dimma style grille,
Nosey c*nt door badges,
New gell rocker cover badge.



Also im in 2 minds weather to get my rocker covers professionally re-sprayed in the same colors as they are starting to fade due to the heat or get some brand new jp4 covers and get them sprayed the same as my j4's i have now. Decisions decisions!! What do you think would look best? Thanx for looking

[ashwilson]

Spotless mate, thats gawjuss.

Not really keen on the alloys myself though!

[chris84]

Cheers mate, i didnt want to go down the prorace 1.2's route or the re-sprayed vts alloys so i thought a red and black color theme would look nice, its not rim tape btw its the way the alloys are. Each to there own i suppose.

[charlie7543]

Very nice mate!

[random_v2]

car looks amazing and i really like the wheels with the red rim, breaks all the black up nicely. love everything youve done to it so far

[chris84]

Yeh thanks bud, Im trying to keep it subtle with small amounts or red here and there, i was going to get red and black car seats for the kids but my daughter had to spoil it and want bloody pink!! lol.
