Lol cheers dude. As i say, needs to come down 15mm i reckon. But i shall sort that next weekend or something. Means cutting the sidemounts down abit and drilling new holes. So need to allow an hour or two to do it.

Some pics for now:








I <3 this car, one of my favourite Saxo's on Sax-P, it's just gone to perfection, planning on lowering mine 60mm all round but my area is full of speedbumps so i'm a bit 50/50, you ever come across any speed bumps on your travels?, if so.. how did you find it?.

It's fine, but take it slow. The worst part for me is the front splitter. Catches everything. But i've got 5 or 6 bolts with custom steel spacers and then two self tapper's holding it on. The bumper would come off before the splitter.

And cheers for the compliment :)

Splitter is a marmite mod. I wasn't sure at first but it's really grown on me!

Not reeeeeally the update i wanted to bring you folks.

Last night i was in a car park and two noobs decided to park in the middle of the car park rather than in one of the nearly 20 spaces available. I waited for a minute but the wouldn't move so i tried to turn left instead.. Checked my mirrors but unfortunately i couldn't see a kurb and ripped my side skirt off :( So i now need a passenger side skirt! Dammit :(

On a brighter note i recently had a problem with my driver's side rear disc not coming in contact with the pad properly and a line of rust (from rain) forming around the outer edge of the disc. Me and my Dad came to the conclusion it was the pad at fault so i ordered some new one's and fitted them after work this afternoon.
When we compared the old pad's to the new one's the actual braking surface of the pad's sat completely different. Don't know if this was a faulty set or what, but the new one's do sit alot better so hopefully it's solved my problem :)

Nearly was worse this morning dude. On my way to work a foreign looking chap decided to pull out on me on a mini roundabout... was very close to the Saxo being dead as his vehicle was alot sturdier than mine :(

Not too sure about driving her this weekend if that's how thing's are going to be lol.

Marky_C 5th December 2009 17:30

Cheers for the offer dude. I will let you know, trying my hardest to get hold of a Maritius one atm but it's hard, not a very common colour. May end up having to get a skirt and have it sprayed, but we shall see :)

MR_N 6th December 2009 19:20

No worries mate, let me know. Its just sat here doing nothing anyway

CHIP 13th December 2009 15:42
