[wobby82]

i saw this today and i have every faith in you

[Dave_P]

Easy peasy.

[saxo-parts]

wiring is doing my frigging head in, its a saxo loom but needing to use c2 connectors to the lights and french colour coding is shite lol

[lakeyy]

Looks the part though mate! Love the orange, hope its ready in time! Oh yeah where's this damn sunroof crank :D!

[saxo-parts]

on its way, found the bloody thing today in the glovebox of the clio, could have sworn it was sent out the other day! yeah, orange has been my colour for the past few cars i've had

[lakeyy]

Hahah no worries mate along as it's coming, last piece to my puzzle :D yeah I like orange cars but this is the first C2 in orange I've seen! :D only thing that puts me off is the tinyyyy boot....

Tiny isn't the word.

I'd love my C2 to be orange...

[saxo-parts]

lack of boot space is the reason we don't run one anymore as a daily, and boot of this one is full of battery,spare wheel etc lol

[saxo-parts]

well,its running,wiring is 95% done, just got make up exhaust front pipe,fit a few coolant pipes,fit grilles,screen,door windows,door seals, bit and bobs really, oh and MOT it! All brake,fuel and battery lines now run inside car, ABS and PAS removed,harnesses etc in, dash (whats left of it lol) now wired up,coilovers fitted. Won't be finished by FCS but hopefully be at least ready enough to drive there!

It certainly isn't the first orange one ;)

It's now an entirely different colour though and has an entirely different engine ;) You'll see at FCS. In fact, pretty much everything about it has changed lol.

What's this running? Sounds like you've been playing?

[saxo-parts]

its running a j4 bottom end with jp4 head, saxo wiring loom and electrical system as the multiplex system on c2's is shite as we have experienced many times. guy bought our v6 c2 off us and seeing as it had zero ground clearance was absolutely bugger all use on nav rallies so dragged mandys old c2 vtr out of the weeds (don't know if you recall us converting it from sensofail to manual?) and reassembled it

[saxo-parts]

oh and orange has been my colour for years, going back to my range rover in 1995,then my old Galant, followed by the Berlinglow,then this. Run out of paint now so may have a change...

[CHIP]

Yea, i remember the manual conversion :) This should be fun though once done. Sounds a good plan.

The v6 c2's are a bit pants. My mate even admitted that, it hated corners. Should be a lot better with the new lump though :)

Wasn't a dig at your orange btw - just thought i'd throw it in there :y:

[saxo-parts]

it was the cornering that worried me with it as well as the ground clearance, craigs gone honda now though hasn't he?

[MiniGibbo]

Should of got a yellow one ;)







Look forward to seeing it at FCS dude..!

[saxo-parts]

Yellow crossed my mind mate, prior to orange we had yellow and blue on our off-roaders but it just marked us out as Mansfield Town fans,which we're deff not proud off lol

[saxo-parts]

MOT today, as suspected, cat is goosed lol, and a couple of grommets need round a couple of pipes and thats it, in the lap of DVLA wether we get V5 back in time now!

[saxo-parts]

mot all done, just the log book now and i can tax it! road test showed up a naffed driveshaft, now fixed and a few rattles (to be expected really, theres no creature comforts like dash,carpets etc)

[saxo-parts]

up for sale now due to health problems, sad to see it go but don't know when i'll be driving any distances again

[iN7eL]

Just read this mate, sorry to hear, crazy how things can flip.

[saxo-parts]

yep,there you go though, just have to get on with it, not putting spanners to bed yet though but while i can't drive, i'll be getting something done with a 106 ready for then
