Noddy's 1.1 - Flatarch - 25/02/10 - front lowered and VT brakes (Photos now up - more to come) - Saxperience

Right then. Seeing as I will be doing some work on the car at stages and when i'm not at work, I'd might as well put up a thread so you can see how things evolve.

So the car as it is then. Outside its a 2001 1.1 desire with the vtr alloys fitted. Everything else is as standard (for now) - inside, everything is as standard as well bar the HU which got changed from the stock clarion CD player to a Pioneer HU (DEH-P9800BT).

On the list of things to do. Currently I'm sorting out some prices for a new bonnet & slam panel after a knock that I had last November. After that:

- Upper strut brace - Done
- New back box (needs replacing) - Done
- New O/S headlight cluster - Done
- Front components - Done
- Respray front bumper (getting done at same time of spraying of bonnet etc) - Done
- Fit new plates (won't pass the MOT in sept in their current state) - Done
- Rear sub & amp - Done

After that then i'll let myself loose with other things but I'll stick them up when they occur....

I'll go and take some photos now and will stick them up in a bit.

weyyy welcome to Sax-P if your from my end of the woods, do you come to Ashford much?

Noddy · 16th March 2007, 12:55

Unfortunately I don't. Most of my time is spent in the kitchen at work.

When I do have time off though, its normally college work or electrical stuff that keeps me busy.

Looks tidy man, i reckon them alloys should have been an option on base models!

Steve · 18th March 2007, 18:16

looking good mate

Skorpion · 18th March 2007, 21:29

Looking good mate. Very nice example of a base model!

ChrisJ · 18th March 2007, 22:54

Very tidy mate. Not keen on the sticker in the rear window though.

riggsy · 19th March 2007, 01:25

Vtr wheels look good on it.

Noddy · 19th March 2007, 10:15

My bad, yes they're the VTR wheels not the VTS

VTS_16v_Boy · 19th March 2007, 12:39

Need nice little tailpipe on the back of that mate. Somewhere between 3'-4'

Sportex or Peco will look ok and not break the bank, check these for back box options:

Sportex - www.tuning.co.uk
Peco (and others) - www.performancecentre.co.uk

That and a nice dimma grill,and thata look spot on maybe a tad lower and its all done

gokan · 19th March 2007, 17:49

nice saxo

Noddy · 20th March 2007, 10:51

I'll look at the backboxes as the one that currently on there is pretty much had its day and needs replacing. Later on in the year once i've got time, I may lower it a bit as the ride is a bit high. The grill is something that i'm going to pass on though for a bit as I want to keep the car standard in appearance to start with.
