My vtr'd Furio. DEAD! - Saxperience

Morgzc · 18th December 2010, 20:50

Hey people, brief history of my previous cars.
Started with a 1.1 106 at 16, got rediculous quotes and decided I didn't like it so got rid.

Bought a vts with my mate, stripped bits and sold it. Made a few £££.

Bought this vtr for my first car in april, failed it mot last month so currently breaking it

Bought Jdizzy's old furio of vtrlogan today, has been snowing all day so this is the only pic I currently have.

PLANS!
Got a few things to fix first.
Need to replace the rear pads,got a brand new set already.
Replace the tyres,will be salvaging a set off my old vtr
New icv, again salvaged one off my old vtr but vtrlogan has been kind enough to send me a brand new one!
Put interior in, salvaged from my old vtr again.
Fix the broken fog, my old vtr is comming in handy!
Adjust gear linkages
Replace left tweeter
Replace NS front light
Snow can GTFO, want to get this done!

After this I can get on with some mods, will be nothing major as Im at uni so most of my money is spent on booze... I mean books and shit.

I like the yellow theme going on so I plan to tint the fogs yellow and paint the citroen badge on the steering wheel yellow aswell as yellow rim tape.Thinking about coding the dash buttons yellow then creating custom stencils for the symbols in black.
Just generally little yellow highlights all over!

Bloody hell! Im glad that I can fix everything with a spanner and my old car now!
Im tempted to whip out the hazard tape again...

also, inside the car, the left rear heater switch on the dash is the fan switch, as its got 2 fans one is on a switch other is automatic when it gets hot..

I know, I read the whole of Jdizzy's thread. Took me a whole hour! Shall make myself a fan stencil and get it sprayed on it in yellow.

Morgzc · 19th December 2010, 12:49

Right, so I decided to clean it up a little inside as there were a few bottles and a packet of ham inside!lol
Decided abit of music would be nice, headunit is a kenwood kdc w3544. It's password protected so I input the password and nothing happened :'(
Any ideas? Didn't turn the car over so could it be the permenant hasn't been switched?

-shuggles- · 19th December 2010, 13:11

really like the red mk1

always liked the furio tho, was eyeing it up myself when jdizzy was selling it

jdizzy · 20th December 2010, 12:49

Ahhh I know why the stereo is password protected. A speaker wire has earthed out, just press the reset button on the facia and she should be fine. Happened to me alot lol

Glad to see she's been kept to a member on the forum

Thanks, the little box right? Fiddled with it abit and now the speaker works but the tweeter doesn't

Did a few photoshops last night of yellow fogs, indicators, yellow strut brace (Didn't come with the car) and filler cap.
What do you guys think?
First one looks abit shit but might be because I rushed the shop lol.

Morgzc · 21st December 2010, 16:55
