Patchy Junior :D saxo no.2 :) - Saxperience

RachBabyX · 1st May 2013, 10:00

so I had a swift sport.... and here she is...

but I got bored so I thought id go back to the saxo

and I picked him up on sunday... here he is........

he has already had quite a bit of work done....

its got a saxo vts bottom end that's been cammed with kent road cams, its got a jp4 head conversion, re-map, manifold, quickshifter, stage two gearbox and race clutch, its got 106 gti wing mirrors and interior that's been reupholstered in half leather half suede, blue rallye carpet. its also colour coded, as you can see

boot has been debadged and smoothed, and hes got parada road legal track tyres

the list goes on but I cant remember from the top of my head...

first plans are only little,
team heko wind deflectors
lowered the rear end, fronts already 40mil
team dynamics wheels being resprayed in purple...
maybe a full body respray...

Looks much better than the old Saxo and plans sound pretty sweet to.

First thing I would be doing is leveling it.

RachBabyX · 1st May 2013, 10:18

yeah, the guy I bought it off said he had made the read higher as it corners in better and that's how he prefers it :/ I think it looks daft...

LSOfreak · 1st May 2013, 11:26

yeah apart from the silly ride height lol looks good

RachBabyX · 1st May 2013, 11:32

already said that's the first thing that's getting done....

utothek · 1st May 2013, 11:42

I would do the trim in a gloss/matt black?

mihilow · 1st May 2013, 13:19

Nice saxo mate ,but isn't that old Jamie's car ?

AlexB^p · 1st May 2013, 13:59

I dont like how everything is colour coded
It needs some black to break it up imo

Silk · 1st May 2013, 14:31

love the codded bumpers, i want some, nice good pick

manta · 1st May 2013, 15:00

Nice, it needs satin black bumper strips though.

Rear needs slightly lowering.

He sounds like a twat then, he hasn't done anything to the back, just lowered the front. Didn't you smell bullshit? I'd be questioning if any of the other 'mods' such as cams etc exist or if he was just talking more crap.

Each to their own but I couldn't buy a car from someone like that.

RachBabyX · 2nd May 2013, 00:23

I prefer the colour coding tbh

the lad I bought it from didn't seem to know a lot about cars (or how to drive the thing) I have receipts from previous mods for proof from the previous owner and verification that all work was carried out by pug performance

he was just a kid with a fast car....

not sure who Jamie is? the cars from Newcastle.... the guy I bought it from was called troy....

DavidsVTR · 2nd May 2013, 09:52

Looks good! Great colour choice!

Get some engine bay shots up

.... And await 'needs lowering' comments

wadoryu · 2nd May 2013, 10:03

You got bored of a swift sport? Madness. Liking the new car though.

haz_pro · 2nd May 2013, 10:14

Needs lowering.

RachBabyX · 2nd May 2013, 10:17

I know! hard to believe I got bored of it myself, :/ strange really! mostly the cost of modding to the swift was expensive!! although I have just bought a simota enclosed enduction for the sax yesterday should be here tomorrow

and I think he is being lowered as we speak

cant wait to get him home and have a play

haz_pro · 2nd May 2013, 10:34

I was only kidding, thought I would wind you up after the thread you started in general chat lol.

Does this not feel like a bit of a step backwards in terms of build quality from the suzuki? (Bearing in mind I have never been in a swift).

LSOfreak · 2nd May 2013, 10:49

what do you mean you think he is being lowered? how do you not know whats happening to your own car?

not really, since I lowered the swift its not a great ride tbh and wasn't from being factory either, 17's with 45 profile is a rough ride and road noise is terrible! the saxo has a smoother ride :/ but its a small fun car, well they both are...

as in the guy whos lowering it for me works on more than one car so it should be getting done today, if not it will be tomorrow. hes keeping in touch but is busy...

LSOfreak · 2nd May 2013, 11:59

ohhh that makes sense
