Lol cheers dude. As i say, needs to come down 15mm i reckon. But i shall sort that next weekend or something. Means cutting the sidemounts down abit and drilling new holes. So need to allow an hour or two to do it.

Some pics for now:








I <3 this car, one of my favourite Saxo's on Sax-P, it's just gone to perfection, planning on lowering mine 60mm all round but my area is full of speedbumps so i'm a bit 50/50, you ever come across any speed bumps on your travels?, if so.. how did you find it?.

CHIP 30th November 2009 18:27

It's fine, but take it slow. The worst part for me is the front splitter. Catches everything. But i've got 5 or 6 bolts with custom steel spacers and then two self tapper's holding it on. The bumper would come off before the splitter.

And cheers for the compliment :)

i dont like the splitter mate sorry.

other than that gawjus car!!

im 5ft9 mate mate!! lol

CHIP 30th November 2009 19:35

Splitter is a marmite mod. I wasn't sure at first but it's really grown on me!

CHIP 5th December 2009 17:12

Not reeeeeally the update i wanted to bring you folks.

Last night i was in a car park and two noobs decided to park in the middle of the car park rather than in one of the nearly 20 spaces available. I waited for a minute but the wouldn't move so i tried to turn left instead.. Checked my mirrors but unfortunately i couldn't see a kurb and ripped my side skirt off :( So i now need a passenger side skirt! Dammit :(

On a brighter note i recently had a problem with my driver's side rear disc not coming in contact with the pad properly and a line of rust (from rain) forming around the outer edge of the disc. Me and my Dad came to the conclusion it was the pad at fault so i ordered some new one's and fitted them after work this afternoon.
When we compared the old pad's to the new one's the actual braking surface of the pad's sat completely different. Don't know if this was a faulty set or what, but the new one's do sit alot better so hopefully it's solved my problem :)

Unlucky about the sideskirt :n: Its looking really good in the pics though, especialy the photoshop one :y:

J222JRA 5th December 2009 17:23

Nearly was worse this morning dude. On my way to work a foreign looking chap decided to pull out on me on a mini roundabout... was very close to the Saxo being dead as his vehicle was alot sturdier than mine :(

Not too sure about driving her this weekend if that's how thing's are going to be lol.

Marky_C 5th December 2009 17:30

Absolutely mint car, I love it. Unlucky about the sideskirt though dude.

J222JRA 5th December 2009 17:36

MR_N 6th December 2009 08:14

Cheers for the offer dude. I will let you know, trying my hardest to get hold of a Maritius one atm but it's hard, not a very common colour. May end up having to get a skirt and have it sprayed, but we shall see :)

MR_N 6th December 2009 19:20

No worries mate, let me know. Its just sat here doing nothing anyway

CHIP 13th December 2009 15:42

Some pics for you folks! Believe it or not my car was spotless before i set off for these pics... damn salt. But ah well. Hopefully ordering my passenger Sparco tomorrow too :)










J222JRA 13th December 2009 15:45

Looks good chip......Cant believe how much darker yours looks compared to mine..........must get a pic of the cars next to each other at some point to compare the colours.

5AMBO 13th December 2009 15:45

Yes dude. We definetely do need to do it. I kinda wish mine was as bright as yours, but then i don't mind either as it makes the car's a little different to each other too. Do love Maritius though, so glad i got one instead of black :)

Some further back mate, check page 1 and there is bit of an index :y: Interior still needs painting and some tidying up though. Plus flock ;)

newwy 13th December 2009 17:07

i like the seats pal

CHIP 13th December 2009 17:14

Cheers mate. As said, should be ordering the passenger Sparco tomorrow. Also going to order low sidemounts as i've got a medium one fitted and want it abit lower. So if anyone wants a set of medium OMP sidemounts, let me know :y:

moxy89 13th December 2009 19:38

So there is. Sorry mate I missed a few pages. Will look even better once the passenger seat is in as well. Good choice. Are you happy with the seat? whats it like comfort wise and for driving any kind of distance?

Lol, it's alright dude. Very happy with the seat. Make's the driving experience so different, you feel so much more like your part of the car. Hopefully next year i can get it poly-bushed up and uprated shocks and make it handle like a beast :) Comfort wise, it's suprisingly comfy. I've only really been as far as Sheffield and Derby from my house at the minute, but i had no sore bum (no gay jokes) or aches and pains, so that's all good.
Suprisingly my ex/best mate said she really likes it too. She wants me to hurry up and get the passenger one fitted which i was suprised about as i thought she would hate them haha.

Interesting.....not sure I would want to feel part of the car. The suspension and ride is pretty hard at the moment.

CHIP 13th December 2009 22:43

Trust me dude, it's a good thing :y: I drove her car the other day, bog standard Seat Ibiza... i felt unsafe without harnesses and supportive seats lol. Strange but it's how i felt lol.

5AMBO 13th December 2009 22:45

Lol. Fair play. I think my mrs would kill me if i stripped the car and put buckets in.lol. as much as I am desperate too.

CHIP 13th December 2009 22:45

I got talked into it :) lol

5AMBO 13th December 2009 23:06

our partners must be very different.lol. One day ill just have to do it, that will surprise her.

CHIP 13th December 2009 23:07

Lol, she's my ex now but still talk to each other the same amount and see each other all the time. Don't ask lol.
