That manifold looks awesome mate! Very Nice :y:

SaxoAL 17th January 2008 09:09

I want that manifold!

I used to see your saxo at Heathfield Budgens all the time, think the guy worked there (or is that you)
Mind you Haywards Heath would be quite far to come to work!

Lovely looking car mate anyway

Thankyou mate

I wanted it too :p

Yeah James Harman used to own it before me!
Supervisor at budgens and i worked with him at Somerfield near where Mike Crackers lives

Fitted a mint sound system, lowered it and went with the classic Cobra Imola buckets/6 point harness combo...

Respect :)

You'll see at the RR day aswell mate :y:

Having another mod fitted and finished that morning before i meet you guys aswell!

Will all be fitted and done on Wed if i have time, test drive on thurs but i know the temptation to give the new system a cheeky blast will slowly set in :p

Thanks for all the comments people

Il treat you to another pic of my new exhaust soon aswell as the one semi-good pic there doesnt do the quality and feel of it justice :cool:

Alex 17th January 2008 21:12

Why all the secrecy, I'll come up and spy on you, have a look at the engine from underneath to see what you done :P

Smelt like apple pie lol :p
Full service also done while i had her up on the ramp...

Rush - Ye-har im at the RR day on 9th Feb after my windows are done

Pics up laters when i get a momento :)

RedB 1st February 2008 21:02

Update 1st Feb

Old zorst coming off...



Bare :fcuk:


Realised when the manifold came off that the block needs a good degrease and clean with a lick of paint
Subtely hinting mods happening in the next few weeks ;)




Lovely new Goodridge braided brake lines on



New exhaust and motorsport hangers...



Bled the whole system and filled with Motul 5.1 pro brake fluid before adjusting the pedal, car feels a lot more responsive under braking now and the pedal feels harder
