Yeah silver is a cunt especially eyc but it looks good so no complaints from my end.

I will crack on tommorow with it then!

Yeah i was expecting to see it lighter or darker shade as you would. It's 11yr old paint nearly so imagine its a chew on for the painters to match but he's done well.

Cheers. :y:

Na not so much the matching its the skill needed to paint it the way it lays it goes darker so you have to match the way it has layed with the same direction as the car.

Prickle 17th August 2013 00:27

Fair doos. God knows how hes done it ha ha.

Prickle 24th August 2013 16:32

Right one sides been done but the other tommorow because i started late.

All in all not bad. Abit over hyped the difficulty of it. :S

Metal coller on the inside was abit of a chew on but the rest went very well. Nothing needed trimming, none of that bullshit! :P

Yes, yes i used a axle stand this time..









Underside is in dire need of a clean i know. :cry:





Same tommorow but no point in pics its all the same..

Bedford126 24th August 2013 17:10

Pile of shit, you killed the world with rubber fumes.

Prickle 24th August 2013 17:18

:P

Once that's done the car is fully bushed. Happy days. As firm as you like :homme:

After tracking next Fri it's done for this year.

Next year i'd like 4 pots (cos i can) and maybe a change in alloys. I'm not sure on what. Something that will suit the height it's at now and not common like turini's and the like (boring).

Saxjoe 24th August 2013 17:22

where does everyone get there little saxo signature pictures? it has a front, left and back profile.

Prickle 24th August 2013 17:26

I edited all of mine but it's a pixel car. Search it in google it'll bring them up.

Have a look into the vts wheels mate will suit the car IMO.

Ok thanks mate :y:

AlexB 25th August 2013 22:40

Told you they werent hard to fit

Prickle 25th August 2013 22:44

:D

I could press the front bush in slightly myself then a hammer encouraged it in (covered the bush).

Rear took a few hits (socket on the coller) and on it popped.

Been out it today and it's great!

Prickle 30th August 2013 15:41

Perfect now. Tracking.





Bodyshop tommorow for a little bit that needs doing and will get the DA on the paint again.

RobVT 30th August 2013 16:22

looks awesome mate

Prickle 30th August 2013 16:33

Cheers Rob. :-)

MartinObviously 30th August 2013 16:53

All that tracking! (toe in or out on the front only) :P

Hope they didn't charge too much.

Prickle 30th August 2013 16:57

Just standard set up suits me.

RobVT 31st August 2013 21:40

btw did the solid rear bushes on the arms actually so anything ? i had polys on the front of the arms on my saxo and didnt really do much if im honest

Prickle 31st August 2013 21:57

Changed my pas front ABS sensor today (orig 11yr old one). All are newish now! So that touch tin never give me anymore ABS light again. LOL.

It does feel abit better (maybe because they're new?). It's firmer and better when braking.. doesnt feel like the lower arms are flexing forward so to speak lol can tell on some bumps aswell.

Maybe thats the rears doing all that i dont know ha ha.

The lower arms that were on are what 7 months old and were worn (more so pas side) so i had a knocking and squeak everytime i was braking and little bumps. That cured that.

Oh and i almost forgot (excuse the pic quality) results of before/after of ^

Before;


Mixed with poor prev tracking in March and last week the lower arms came off. (it didnt drive straight at all. :P

After;


Saxo atm is half way through a machine, spent like 5hrs on it. :homme: Finishing it off tommorow and that will be done for next weekend. Engine next Friday and interior and i'm sorted tbh.

Jay_ 31st August 2013 22:06

Interesting rear camber going on....

Prickle 31st August 2013 22:08

It's fine.

Harry89 has seen the results and said its fine (he does tracking himself).

And i quote;

Quote:

but yeahh its perfectly fine mate and it should drive very well

and if your beam was shagged your cambers would be like 3-4 degrees

0.51 or whatever it was that side is spot on for passenger side
Quote:

if the beam was dying it be like 0,45

Jay_ 31st August 2013 22:27

So surely 1.28 drivers side...??

Anywhere between 0 and 1.5 is normal I'd say. :y:

Not sure what the Peugeot specified limits are though.

Honestly i dont know anything about it, it's just alot of digits to me lol. I presumed Green was good, Red, Bad.

Like i said on fb i nearly shat when he said. :panic: I asked and he said it's nothing to worry about. I'm sure Revolution would of told me if it was on it's way out or at least i'd hope they would of. :wacko:

I mean if it was fair doo's nothing i can do but replace it. :/

Jay_ 31st August 2013 22:51

;)

I have no idea what the figures mean either...

Prickle 31st August 2013 22:56

You pulling my strings again. :(

I wish i understood them..

Sophia_Bush 31st August 2013 23:50

needs lowering......... oh wait lol looks good

harry289 1st September 2013 00:31

Yeah the tracking looks absolutely fine to me :)

The good reason being that the passenger side has more positive camber is due to the drainage angle of our roads (the side of the road that slants down to the curb)

Prickle 9th September 2013 22:37

Day we left. Other halfs thumbs up :D



At hotel.



---
Well i took this pic myself lol. :P



Highly doubt anything else now till Feb as per above.

Which will be;



And;

Superleggras in Bronze. 15"


Hopefully =



Not to everyones taste i believe it will pull it off.

BIG 10th September 2013 00:10

Will look great!

Prickle 10th September 2013 00:13

Not fully decided yet..

Also still needs bits on the bodywork looking at but it's a perm daily it does loads of miles every week so these dents etc are very hard to avoid.

leeroybrown 10th September 2013 14:30

Jon G!

Me and Pred were upset he didnt get a Jon G team hug at Trax!

:-)

Prickle 24th September 2013 13:20

Update on milage;



Saxo hasnt been washed for 1k miles :( waiting on soap to come in post so next week. It still beads very well tbh.

On orig beam/engine/gbox/arches so not bad at all lol imo. Hopefully the next 10k is not as expensive as the last 10k lol.

Prickle 2nd October 2013 12:17

1.2k miles later - it's washed! after pics later with beading as it down poured after i dried it.








rey 2nd October 2013 12:42

Looks well, doesn't look like a 90k mile car tbf.

How's it running?

Prickle 2nd October 2013 12:46

It's running spot on rey, has been since that issue a few months ago. :y: Roll on next year for brakes and wheels and it should *hopefully* make the car.

Cheers.

MuZiZZle 2nd October 2013 12:50
