French Boost Project

[leeds_182]

Well after much consideration I decided you only live once and went and bought this saxo turbo.

It's low, real low, has morettes and 6x9s as well as several stickers but I like it.

The aim is to return it to near standard looks wise with just the addition of a bit of boost,

Some pics;

Plans sound pukka.
Even with the dodgy stickers off it... It will be miles better to start with :up:

 

[dann2707]

Awesome. How many beeee-haitch-pee's is it running?

 

[Chi]

Another good project, looking forward to the changes

Looks in good condition that matey,
If the back axle has been lowered in the last few years it shouldn't be easy enough to put back to standard,
I still think you should fit the turbo set up in the rallye for scary fast fun.

After rescuing it and returning to.near standard form looks wise that will be cool

Look so bad the way it currently is lol

 

[Brookie.]

Looks a nice a smooth graph that mate. How does it drive?

 

[Jekyll]

I like it. Is it on coilovers? It is too low for sure. OEM+ with boost

 

[Dano']

8v or 16v?

 

[leeds_182]

16v

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

I love that...well I'll love it more without the stickers, but I'd love one to play with. Get some engine bay pics up mate

 

[Ray Gin]

I'm assuming it's a VTR, with a VTS engine then? Looks really tacky and not something I'd drive, but I'm sure when it's looking a bit more 'oem' it will be miles better. Wicked red with anthracite VTS wheels is a nice mix.

Actually looks pretty good, I expected it to be abit of a dog from that other thread.

Will look much better once you had your way. I've got a few OEM VTS bits knocking about if your struggling for parts.

You buy too many cars.

You buy too many cars.

I do but it's my only vice.

Well, that and pies.

I'm glad you've noticed too :tonguewink:

Not that I'm complaining, I just can't keep up with what you've got/sold! Looking forward to seeing you save this one though. It's shockingly chavvy as it is.

 

[leeds_182]

Bought some vts wheels that I'm collecting on Boxing Day.

Should look better on those and not look quite as slammed! Plus, the rear might raise up when I take out the sub, amp and 6x9 shelf.

 

[Matthew]

What will the neighbours think...

Anyway, yes VTS wheels will look good, and yes the rear strippage should raise the back a bit which is needed IMO.

Glad it's the 16v. Thought it was going to be a boosted 8v when I saw the VTR badge!

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

I still think a OEM looking VTR/S look's really good and modern still. With everything back to Silver, Wheel's, Badges etc, etc.. bet it's mega fun though

Few 8vs running about running 200bhp! Not to be sniffed at.

 

[Matthew]

Indeed!

 

[imprezaworks]

Looking great.

 

[leeds_182]

Looking great.

Cheers babby.

[Simon_16v]

I need a go in this Jim!

 

[JD_RS172]

Awesome little car. Raise it a little, get them headlights out and get stickers off and it's good to go. You'll be terrorising a few bigger cars in that.

 

[leeds_182]

Standard plates ordered today and complied the to do list.

It's long.

 

[Matthew]

Indulge us sir...

 

[leeds_182]

It's not too bad, brakes, oil and plugs, new wipers, sort out temp gauge, drop links, new wheels and check for any other potential suspension problems. Usual s**t.

Not silver but literally brand new with almost new tyres - £115!

Project de chav starts in earnest tomorrow.

 

[Matthew]

They look lovely!

 

[leeds_182]

 

[leeds_182]

New rims are on;

 

[Philip.]

Looks better already.

A change of headlights and it'll look great!

 

[Matthew]

Is the rear much lower than the front?

Can't tell from the picture.

It's about level. Still pretty slammed but might come up when I take the sub, amp and 6 x 9s out!

 

[Mr Plums]

I love this car mate, a real chav sleeper!

Looks loads better on those rims already, take the stickers off and get the original lights on blud.

 

[leeds_182]

Is it wrong that I like the headlights?

 

[Simon_16v]

Massively.
