Yeh just been chilling out enjoying the car really, nothing too hardcore - will take a break from here/car over the next few months with finals coming up, once I get a 1st/2:1 it'll be go go go with the boost setup as I'll have a grad job to go into.

It's strange to say, but the part I'm most looking forward to is setting up the Spa dash and welding a cage in.

Thinking about this cage at the mo (with 106rr discount):

Or some sort of SD one

weight shouldn't be an issue I hope - plus would put a non-sunroof skin on.

lol thanks !! We'll educate you on compression ratio's etc. !

Head pretty much ready to go, just needs new valvetrain from Citroen with my current cams and followers:





And S1 re-cased into a Westcoast casing to be fitted to mine on Fri afternoon/Sat morn for a couple of months fun with the TB's before they come off:

That is one sexy inlet :p

Proffesional gearbox rebuilder now?

Is that a saxo progress 'folder' in the first picture? :detective:

lol, not quite - happy to rebuild boxes but only really for friends as not something I've got time to be playing about with !! Especially buying parts in bags of 50 from Citroen, only to need one!! Got enough balls/springs to rebuild a lot of synchro's !! Only wanted parts to rebuild 3 !

Slowly getting rid of the gearboxes I've got stored - only a couple more to go as I'll be using the Be one I've got

Well spotted !! It's just full of receipts for parts over the past 5/6years - literally everything I've bought for the car is in there, old Tax discs/MOT's/insurance docs etc. really need to start up a new folder now the car is taking it's next step as this one is past being full

Is just good to have records of how much things have cost/how old parts are - I'd never buy a car without receipts/mot certificates etc. as you know they've sorta cared for it whilst owning it

Progress is coming on nicely Ross:y: i have that cage in mine, you won't be dissapointed for sure, real good all round solid cage:y: when mine is finiahed i'll post some pictures up in my thread and you decide if you like it:y: but all i can say the cage quality and fit is EPIC:y:

Haha, you seem to be very handy! Looking at the insode of a gearbox just makes me think :fcuk:

Nice one though Ross!!

Thats a really good idea, i started doing one for mine when i bought the car.. few weeks later i lost interest and kept forgetting to put receipts in lol.

Thanks !! Yeh it looks a nice cage tbh, not something you want to skimp on really so I want to get a good one. Plus I'll be removing the scuttle 'wall' so want a cage to triangulate to the strut tops really.

lol, it's really not that bad tbh !! You'll open one up once, strip it down and be able to do it from then on - really quite simple and clever how they work!

I'd urge anyone with a toolkit to give it a try !! You won't break anything if you take it steady and work through it logically !! Just ask on here if need be/get stuck !

lol, well worth trying to keep things !! Especially when you service the car yourself, the receipts are the only thing to prove you've changed the hg or cambelt etc. !!

Got to get the cage option right tbh:y: for this cage you will have to cut the dash and the bulkhead and it's a full weld in one, alot safer than bolt in cages which i'm not a fan of, it goes near the struts the cage does, once my cage is painted and whack some pictures up in my thread for you to see:y:

cheers raunchz ill get my dunce cap ready ha ha

Get your overalls on and toolkit out and away you go :afro:

Haynes manual, unbolt things then log onto here when you can't put it back together :geek:

ha ha is that how you fellas do it lmao

That'd be awesome !! Cutting the dash etc is no problem, it doesn't need to look perfect - alsong as it helps to save my life should I crash then I don't mind !

lol no comment, got myself some Citroen overalls for that oem look when working on the car :oops: :cool:

Good to see that your still finding time to fiddle about with a few bits and pieces in amongst the Uni work :y:

It's nice to have some time off from working - waking up and seeing the parts sitting there just makes you want to fiddle :oops:

I want to try and get as many of the small parts as possible so they don't hold things up - got 2 months off in the summer to spend on the car so want to try and get as much done as possible then (funds permitting)

How's yours coming along?

Almost sig worthy lol.

lol I'll have to try harder I suppose :zainy:

btw you have money tonight:)
