Just bought a t-reg black saxo vtr as a cheap run around.
Its already been lowered and has tinted windows may just leave it as it is & tidy it up, needs:
central locking sorted
manifold blowing
rocker gasket leaking
elec windows (think its a fuse)
new front seats
rear tyre
tracking
wing mirror spraying
new stereo (faceplate missing)
maybe a powersteering pump
service

Looks like along list but hopefully nothing to major!
But tempted to put sum black angel eyes on it, think the current 1's really date the car, sum vts alloys, magnex backbox, vts spoiler, n maybe sum dtm mirrors!

il get pics up asap

colour coded the badges black using t-cut, makes the boot look cleaner and cost nowt, bought sum vts alloys in good nick just need tyres, fixed the leccy windows.

bad news is missed out on a magnex backbox for £31! sum free lexus lights i was going to tint, and a full vts interior for £50, to replace my ripped front seats.

gear linkage felt really lose could hardly tell what gear it was in, thought it was the rubber on the rods had worn, so had a quick look, turns out there slightly worn but one of the brackets needed tightening that held them in place so saved abit of money!

blackvtrt · 14th July 2008, 22:29

also might aswell ask, how low do you guys reckon it is? Im guessin about 60mm front
65mm back?

blackvtrt · 14th July 2008, 22:32

turns out what i thought was a blowing downpipe joint, was a cracked one, so had to take it off and need a replacement, so if anyone has upgraded there manifold and has a standard vtr downpipe laying around they wana get rid of for a couple of quid let me know!

Prickle^p · 21st July 2008, 16:39

65mm im guessin how come you already dont know! ......... nice saxo however uve got loads of swirl marks on your car tbh........... have you washed your car with a brillo pad

Goldsax · 21st July 2008, 18:02

lol why is there remains of a police warning sticker on your quarter?? lol was it stolen?? looks good, and yeh about 60mm, the front windows tinted?

Saxy1 · 21st July 2008, 18:34

looks alrite mate, could do with a wash and a good machine polish.

badasssaxo · 21st July 2008, 19:28

looks ok but needs a good polish it looks quite scratched up

blackvtrt · 21st July 2008, 19:43

ye paint work isnt amazing, yet! ill get it sorted when the cars sorted mechanically etc, jet wash, two buckets, clay, polish, wax etc!

Car was lowered when i bought it

Remains of a police sticker? ha no the cars parked on private land, had to park it in the wrong bay afew weeks ago and they put a sticker on it telling me to move it and it rained so stuck to the window!

Ye the front windows are tinted quite heavily i think, im 80% sure there illegal
