Just a quick question as you have had an engine conversion also.
When the fuel gets to the orange light do you find the car will not rev past 4k?
Mine has also cut out on a roundabout when low on fuel also.

don't run it low!? :P

What dates on november JP??? Whats mal like? Easy track for my first session?

mallory a good track, it like cadwell but not as tight i would say my uncle loves the track

for then price tho well worth it imo!!

Could well be worth it then! Will be a last minute thing for me until i know the car is done. :homme:

tidy, sounds like it would be a good day :Y:

lol but when you are used to being able to do it. It can be quite annoying.

You cant run my car under 1/4 round mallory due to fuel surge coming out of gerrards lol

Heres the link or the track day lads

I'd say it will be a great track to learn on, not too long so easy to remember the corners and plenty of run off and a nice variety of slow and fast corners. You will need to book it soon though because there is only 9 spaces left now ;)

get some snaps up of my hard labour matey!

ahem remember our deal you do it I will get a lcfc shirt with beckham on the back ;)

Onto 2011...

Im back in the UK for roughly the next 6 months so im going to get cracking with tidying up the saxo so its properly protected to last for at least the next couple of years as ill be away in Oz from August/Sept this year until 2013 at least, and only coming back for the odd ring trip.

Anyway started off with a few bits and bobs today.

First up was to turn the engine over (as its been sat over the winter), check the plugs, then crank the engine over without the spark plugs in to get oil around the engine until the oil pressure light goes out.



Spark plugs looking good, so engine is still running well :D



Kms back on as its kept inside over the winter in the warm and dry



Battery back on



New centre console; Before (with holes)



After; without holes (and gave the interior a good clean/hoover)



Mirror caps needed re-doing; before



After



Also drivers side carbon door card was coming off; so a bit of "no nails" and some brown tape to hold it until it dries should have sorted that



And finally at the end of last year I had the rear arches sorted as they were showing signs of rust (common problem for most saxos/106s, but the carpet & tar normally hides it)





This will be properly sprayed when we spray the whole interior & cage after my track day @ cadwell on the 4th of April.

Thats it for now, ill be cracking on over the next few weeks checking and changing things where needed and will try and keep this thread up to date :D

good stuff, glad to see your back and safe. get that mango mint(er) :)

Excellent JP mate :)

cheers guys, next up is to carry on with the bits and bobs, and going to check the alternator belt/pullies & the cambelt next weekend as long as the weathers half decent :)

good stuff! i have to say, it's allright for some...f*cking off to Oz full time and flying back as and when for Ring trips...

the other half, eh :P

Welcome back to the UK mate :) Time to get your hands dirty again

welcome home matey good stuff on getting the car back up and going now get to some shows!

Out of all the performance cars on here this is my favourite!!

Silly bits like keeping the carpet in the front make it my kind of style lol.


Keep up the good work, hope to see this car at some point.

Must be a good feeling coming back after time and getting back in it again ;)

Still as good as ever!
