Bit of an update...

Ordered OMP horn button, ordered black screws for centre of steering wheel. Also ordered some front ARB Powerflex bushes from Kam Racing.

Then tonight my exhaust snapped on the flange where it meets the manifold :n: Lifetime warranty though so off to get that sorted tomorrow hopefully.

Cheers dude. Needed ARB bushes upfront so thought fook it, upgrade at same time.

Don't know about Trax now. Unsure. I was really happy with the reaction i got at FCS but tbh i still ain't happy with the car lol. Does my head in showing it when there's shitloads of fault's i can pick!

Azza-VTR 12th July 2010 23:34

Looking good as usually bud - one of my favourite colours
We got polybushes on my dads MGF and the ride difference is fantastic

CHIP 13th July 2010 12:40

That's what i like to hear lol. Just need to find time to fit them now.

VTRacer 13th July 2010 12:43

polybushes well worth the money chip :y: have them on my vtr

Mcinabout 13th July 2010 19:32

Lol, i'd love a new car but i keep spending on the Saxo. Can't bring myself to sell it either tbf. Too much hard work gone into it now.

Cheers buddy. Got to say though, a lot of it wouldn't have happened if it weren't for my dad lol.

He's the brains behind the car when it comes to the engine and suspension etc. I can paint bit's and fit easy stuff... give me an axle and i'm stumped after a certain point haha.

CHIP 16th July 2010 23:51

Small update but no picture's.... ARB Poly bushes fitted! Woooowwwwww, i like :D Although sadly not cured the creaking on my front suspension. So i'll have to do some more looking.

Also fitted another coil pack today in an attempt to cure a misfire. Not worked though. Beginning to think maybe the something to do with fuel feed as i've also got a flat spot.
Will be testing the fuel pressure and see what i find.

Thanks to Willsy for confirming which bushes i need too, cheers dude :)

saxo_furio17 17th July 2010 01:56

great lookin car

CHIP 20th July 2010 23:41

Okies... So.

I've had a new tyre on the Wolfrace today and then also got they tyre's and weight's took off my VTR wheels. They'll be going for powder coating soon :y:

Also, tomorrow i'm going to book it in to have the back axle fitted and also get the creaking on the front sorted. My dad simply hasn't got the time to give me help atm and the car's pissing me off majorly. Plus MOT next month which is another incentive haha.

Some pics:

Cheers dude. I doubt it tbh. Spending a lot of money trying to fix a few problems i'm having with the car atm. It's getting depressing driving it tbh.

CHIP 21st July 2010 22:20

Just ordered some Polysport Front Wishbone bushes from Kam. So hopefully, next Wednesday they'll be fitted and if needed new top mount bearings too.

Fingers crossed it sorts my creaking on the front. Then just the back axle to get sorted and the misfire... It's driving me up the wall lol.

timmythechef 21st July 2010 23:12

french cars are money pits, but you got to love them

TomBob 21st July 2010 23:13

Both lovely cars Chip and Toyah. The GTI mirrors would really suit it :y:
