Brake discs came today, Along with some Oil too :D

Still no front VT bumper though which is annoying , Ahh well.

Shinyyy Nom nom nom

i have a front bumper if you still need 1 im in birmingham

I retract my last statement...

Parcelforce are my new best friends, 48hour delivery, literally got delivered 5 minutes after my last post...
Can you guess what it is....





YESSS!!



tomorrow i'll be cracking on with that then!

Ed

how are those discs going to work mate? there are only 2 stud holes?

oh wait i take that back i thought it was 2 holes for holding the discs on then saw u only had one, I FAIL lol

Should be 3 studs there mate :P

My saxo is the gay one..the one with 3 stud Hubs.

yeh i fail only saw once i looked again lol

what sort of plans you got for the sax then mate are you keeping it a flat arch?

Haha, It certainly made me look twice when you posted that Lol

Nah, Its got half of a VT kit on it at the moment, tomorrow (depending on the weather) I'll be putting the front arches on and the VT bumper I just got delivered.
I'll be servicing it and replacing the Discs, pads and calipers as they're mullered now.
Then at somepoint i'll be lowering it so it sits nicely, probably around 50mm but I'll be replacing the Dampers for decent ones with that aswell, so im waiting until ive got a nice amount of Money first :D

ahh ok mate cool will be good to see, u going to put vtr calipers on? ive got them on mine and are so much better i really recommend them. good luck with the weather tomorrow hope it stays dry!

Yeah I probably will at somepoint, But need to get hold of a pair of Vtr/s struts and a rear beam.. So I'll probably look into doing that over the christmas period or something.

Ideally I want it all done, painted, lowered, VTR/S brakes conversion by february, then Once my insurance goes down, Do an engine change maybe. I want to get it on track a few times next year so One of the next things im buying is a decent half cage :D

try and get them shiny like that after a drive. takes some braking ;)

Bit more of an update..not much, but it's still progress :D

Excuse poor pictures, My phone is either great or appalling at taking pictures, just depends what day it is..
Got my Tow strap fitted, and had a go at mounting the new VT bumper..


However, I then realised that it didn't have the side mountings on. Bugger.
So i found some on ebay, no idea if they're going to fit..as I'm not sure if they differ from normal ones. I;e, 1.1 etc.

Recieved this today aswell..

Thanks Lippy :D

Just another thing to play about with i guess.

Also started painting the rest of the car today aswell,


rear quarter done-ish.
Excuse the half arsed Saxperience sticker that someone attempted to peel off, I need to get round to replacing it.

Rear quarter and lower VT panel done, sort of.

Got the front arch on..


Also, the door trim I put on a while ago has come never been on properly, mainly because I rushed it and didnt clamp it down properly..so I need to take it off and redo it at somepoint. :D




Oil filter arrived to..


(The postman loves me..everyday he seems to come with a parcel of some sort) :D

Nothing to do with my car,


Mmmm Proxes:p

Oh..and, This happened at college this week to...LOL


One of out tutors dropped an Engine..He got absolutely terrorised for it, and it's/was someones engine for there project this year too. Ahh Lol

Anyway, thats it for another day.
Ed

Another mini-update.

Been Ebay happy in the past couple of days.

FINALLY!!! Found and bought a pair of calipers to replace my duff ones! :D
They should be here sometime next week, as will a few tools.
bought a Draper expert Socket/torx set. A decent breaker bar and torque wrench and a few other little bits so very happy :)

Just waiting on my front bumper fixings and calipers to arrive, and the Magnex rear box from ScottyGSI( Cheers man) then can get some more pictures up as im working all weekend now.

Ed.

Your car is looking more and more like mine everyday! Its scary!

Its coming on well though mate, will look good when its done. You'll seriously enjoy the looks you get when driving with the car chalked!

Haha..I know..I keep kicking myself not to do it like yours, but it just somehow seems to keep going that way. :A: Im sorry. Lol

If needs be I can always change colours and such, as that was one of the things I would like to do anyway, Just so when I get bored I can bust the spray cans out and go crazy :P

Mate..........theres some unit stood in the middle of that pic of the engine at college

he is hench

Managed to get some calipers New for £50-ish a side..

After I ordered them I found a pair of Calipers on ebay going for £10 each.. Obviously I had to buy them!

So managed to get them, and cancelled the order for my New ones , which saved me a bit of money for more pointless things..





Pointless things...Like Carbon fibre..yay

Only problem is though..I thought the dimensions were 2000mm x 1700mm when I read the description of it... then soon after I paid for it, realised it was only 200mm x 170mm LOL.

No wonder it was cheap :D
So im stuck with what to do with it now..probably just fabricate some window switch mounts and such to the dash for when I remove my centre console. :D


*Lesson...Always re-read the description..**
ahh well

Ed.

My Harness's arrived today from Morgzc :D



And a Picture of how it stands at the Moment with this weather..

Hoping to get a fair bit done this weekend, aslong as the snow holds off anyway. :D

Ed.
