My Wicked Red Cammed VTR - Saxperience

Slammed_Posi_Vtr · 8th March 2009, 22:56

Well I'd got a bit bored with the Saxo, I fancied a bit more speed and a bit more refinement, the car had been stripped out for about 6 months and with the exhaust system and the height of the car it just made it an awful daily driver, so instead of spending thousands getting it how I wanted, I checked out the For Sale section and came across this little beauty, I didnt like a few things about the car, but with a bit of time and a few £££ I reckon it will be spot on.

AndyAlmond · 8th March 2009, 23:16

looks really nice mate

Ben · 8th March 2009, 23:20

Looks awesome mate, what you doin with good old Posi?

Mike_Saxo_Furio · 8th March 2009, 23:21

Really nice car

Not 2 sure bout the 106 alloys the plans with polished vts alloys should really set it off

JRC1 · 8th March 2009, 23:27

I'm sure I spotted that in the for sale section not that long ago.

Really like that, think it looks really good colour coded too

saxokid100 · 8th March 2009, 23:30

Looks good.............

CHIP · 8th March 2009, 23:33

Swap the boot for standard quick lol. Dosent look 60mm on the front to me lol. And although i personally hate VTS rims, i think highly polished ones would look mint

Dont like the GTI ones on it at all, im afraid.

Very nice car imo, just those few things that spoil it.

Karl · 8th March 2009, 23:53

Put your S wheels on it.

Saxojamie17 · 9th March 2009, 00:12

Its a lovely car mate but imo i just dont like the boot door!!
Sorry i dont mean to offend!

Slammed_Posi_Vtr · 9th March 2009, 08:56

Cheers for all the comments people,

Yeah there's a few things about the car that are definitely Marmite, but I like that, it means I have work to do to get it how I want it, I think I will put the "S" wheels on it off my other one, but I don't want to spoil the appearance of that either really, but yeah, the wheels will be the first things to change.

And yeah the front doesn't look -60mm to me either! its looks higher that that, but this is what I was told, Now its on the billies (day after photos taken) It sits just a tiny bit higher, which is what i want.

Now that I have de-wipered the rear it does look better i must say but i reckon something's got too be done with the rear end, but at the moment i like the fact that its nice and original.

Probably selling the Posi Blue Vtr once I have a new sunroof seal for it if anyone is interested?

Personally, although i have a feeling you'll disagree, id have to back sat at about 80mm, and have the front about 70mm (coilovers, i know) and have the super duper shiny S rims. I remember seeing a Posi blue one done like that, looked awesome (and i dont like S rims). I think yours would pull it off brilliantly.

You just described my other car though mate!!! I want this one to handle like an absolute c*nt and still look nice and be practical etc, the posi saxo is my raw, slammed, up for it car lol.

The mirrors and exhaust really do scream O dear...

at least the mirrors wont be on long by the sounds of it

going for a non gay suspension height this time gets a thumbs up

I know, I'm not keen on the exhausts either, I detest the mirrors with every ounce of hate inside me and I feel embarrassed to be in the car with them on at the moment, Hence why ive ordered standard ones, shall I totally colour code them or just leave them with the little red bit at the top???

Not sure what to do with the exhausts yet, might have to wait a bit until I've got a few other things sorted as one thing i do like is now that it is de-wipered it is totally symmetrical at the back.

And as for the ride height, I definitely want this car set up for handling, but I still like the ride height of the Posi one for looks, and granted that slammed isn't always the way to go, but its nice being different.

Ryan^p · 9th March 2009, 14:12

leave the mirrors with the black plastic outers, if you like it then they work, if you then want to spray them you can.

I personally dont like CC etc.. I prefer black breaking up one big blob of colour.

Paul^p · 9th March 2009, 14:17

Like both of your cars mate

Not keen on the rear numberplate on the red one though

Saxo_theedge · 9th March 2009, 14:49

Nice looking car. Put your S wheels on see how it looks.

Not a fan of the boot though, just doesnt look right where the number plate lights are.

Slammed_Posi_Vtr · 9th March 2009, 15:11

Looks like a standard boot lid must be ordered then! Unless I can recess the lights under where the standard lights go, what are your thoughts on that?

I'd still say go for standard. Even smoothed boots look a b***o*k on Saxo's imo. Shame you arent slamming it, as i reckon it'd look porn, but i can see where your coming from
