My Silver Saxo VTR RIP 14.01.12 - Saxperience

Hey,
So this is my first post and progress thread in one so I guess I'll like talk shit about me and my car for a bit..

Bought the car a few weeks back now, needed something nicer and faster than a 1.1 206 .. Haha .. So the car, when I got it needed a little bit of body work doing to it, it had some scratches and the beginnings of some nasty rust on the bonnet but since, I've had that professionally sorted. It came with alloys, K&N air filters and odd headrests..

So from here I plan on doing the following and shall update this thread as and when the relevant things get done so enjoy.

Current:
K&N Air Filters
Blacked Alloys
Fixed bodywork

Planned:
Lowered by 40mm all round
Supersprint Exhaust (How loud is it without the silencer? I live on a priivate estate with whiney neighbours!)
Manifold (Can someone advise me if I put a 4-1 manifold on does that mean removing the Cat?)
HID Headlights/Fogs/Rear Plate Lights
+ various other things not worth mentioning at this stage

Pictures:

Right so was driving through town last night, and the pipe from the cat sheared clean off, so as you can imagine I drove home making one hell of a racket and an exhaust sticking out the window! So that set us back a load to get a new cat, luckily the exhaust is fine and will last until I get the supersprint to put on. But not your average Wednesday evening! :'(

Haha yeah man.

I know I kinda wanna tbh, it's cheaper as well. But I'm not decatting just silly unless it's purely a track car. Might just get the supersprint without the silencer fuck it and save a £100.

LSOfreak · 30th October 2011, 17:10

i love the noise of them without the cat personally. mines pops and bangs after every gear change lol probably helped by my huge 4inch peco backbox though

you doing anything interior-wise

Yeah I know they sound lush but it's impracticable if you have to fit a cat every time your car goes in for MOT.

Interior wise at this stage no. Give it a 6-12months and I'm stripping her clean and going for buckets and a rolly,
