1.9 TDI Sportrider...Finally Dyno'd 150 bhp from a stage 1 pd100!

[Packham]

Used to drive a 1.1 saxo Was my pride a joy but wanted something a bit more grown up and quicker

Anyway here's the new car, 08 plate, 44k, FSH and all that

Plan to do loads to it,

So far all I've done is vinyl wrapped the centre console and installed my old headunit, need to get a stalk adapter ASAP though

Think coilovers are next

Looks nice, sportrider model has quite a lot of extra toys to play with too Saxo actually looked tastefully done, not usually the case! Bet it feels loads more powerful than the 1.1 ha ha

 

[Packham]

Yep cruise control is fun haha

Thanks everyone said that about the saxo lol, probably going to go the same way with this

Still want more power though, a remap coming January time i think

 

[Zlash_eX]

I agree with rf, your saxo was rather nice indeed. They'd have a better name if they looked like that!
Look forward to seeing your progress.

 

[JonnyH10]

Looks good, I'm liking the vinyl wrapped center console! Your saxo looked nice too, good to see one that's not chavved up lol

 

[Packham]

After all the time I spent on that saxo I was determined to sell it to someone off the saxo forum and I did so I was happy with that

the centre console came out better than I expected tbh, might get some chrome vinyl for the heater rings, stuff paying 30 odd quid

I was going to look at that one actually haha, but it had been sold when I rung up. I got this one from Bradford

 

[Krash]

Small world lol I ended up getting a one from hull

 

[VolksKid83]

not bad! looks tidy!

goodluck.

 

[Packham]

Just received some heko wind deflectors today but one is snapped

anyway trying to decide which wheels to have

These

or

both in 17" hmmm

 

[adam kelly]

Hi nice lookin Saxo you had. I had a 106 1.1 was a cracking motor

Im not a big fan of aftermarket wheels tbf I like oem wheels iv got on at the min some bbs montreal alloy of a golf. I normally have facelift 17 fr wheels but got bored so had a change

 

[Packham]

I'm the same, just wanted a change from the usual bbs, vag wheels that alot of people go for lol

 

[Packham]

The rear wash jet hasn't worked since i got it, finally got round to fixing it. The pipe had come off under the air box, right faff to do but did it in the end.
Also removed the ghay sportrider sticker.

Looking to get some HID's next probably 5000k

 

[rf860]

Most common fault with VAG cars is the rear washer pipe popping off. The connections are poor. I had it on my old ibiza and i barely mentioned the word rear washer when i called the dealer and they knew exactly what it was on about!

 

[Packham]

I dried the pipe off and put some superglue around the edge so hopefully it shouldn't come off again haha

 

[Packham]

Finally got the other wind deflector also fitted a 5000k HID kit, tried to change a sidelight and my hand looks like it had been attacked by a bear lol, so it looks like I'll be taking the headlights out at the weekend.

On the other hand my rev counter is broke, anyone know if I'll need to go to a dealer to get this fixed?
