^^ there missing br0

What the part the holds the pads in? not a problem, il use the ones i currently have. Main thing i needed was the actual caliper as both are seized up pretty bad.

No the black plastic cover's for the whole arch.

See the black part on the right of the photo? :P

Yeah? whats up now? :(

Oh, didnt relised they covered the hole arch.. is it a problem?

car falls apart if theres no arch liners iirc.

lol, it'll be fine.

Yes it will be fine john, looks like it been lowerd before the can see where its been rubbing.

I didnt relise lol, i thought he was on about the calipers. Well its better to keep on of dirt. :oops:

Cheers.

They don't!

They cover the top, back and front! There is a small flap on the front inside!

If it has it has, but fair play for the owner of replacing the standard shocks and back, springs and raising it back to standard height lol.

Wheel probs collapsed in due to something failing no doubt.. or bigger tyres i dont know lol. :homme:

Mine are exactly like that iirc.

Nice car. Looks like a good buy.

Thanks. :)

Shes had the odd niggle but other then that i cant complain.

Yup I can see the edge on the picture I quoted above! lol

Not sure why people are thinking yours are missing when the picture is mainly of the back of the arch...where they don't cover anyway! :homme:

Same, i assumed all they had was what you posted. :)

Next couple of weeks cat back supersprint centre section and rubbers for the backbox from Kamracing.

Handbrake didnt need adjusting like i thought it would of, it has like 3 clicks since changing the calipers.

The rear was up on axel stands to save a chew on. At first it was going smoothly and then when it came to taking the main brake pipe off the nut wouldnt budge. :D i was ahh for fuck sake moar moneys :( : but they decided to come loose and it was plain sailing from there.

Old calipers, as you can see these were pretty much like this all the time so you can imagine the stress on the car pulling whilst brakes are locked on, nightmare..


Old calipers





Old disc



On car



Excuse the wood under the Axel stands, the ground wasnt level. ;)

Next job on Monday (day off) is to paint the calipers Yellow and get the cam cover polished up and a wash/wax etc and a engine bay clean.


Nae danger though.

You my friend nee to get your arse to some shows but get it lowered before you come, that rear end looks bloody dangerous, its worse than beyonces butt

Haha, cheers. :p

Yeah her arse is in the air abit and i should lower it really. Im just not sure if i want to go through the hassle. :oops:

Im looking to go to

Trax
SCS (up Scotland)
FCS (unsure tbh depends on coin at the time and work)

None shows but meets so to speak

Bolton Abbey
Preston Park.

Ahh, very nice! I recently got me a standard 2 tone, love them.

Random and off topic: do you find the floorpan raises abit near you left foot near center console? and same on passenger side if you get me? been bugging me

needs lowering

This makes me want my 53 plate 'R back as she was mint. If i have the money when my mate comes to sell it, i might. Looks a cracker, keep her standard!!

I think its the same on all Saxos? And thanks. :)

Thanks.

She will be. :)

Ey up.

Right i decided to get up at 8am this morning to crack on with jobs i wanted done weeks ago. Little did i know sanding one half of the cam cover takes me nearly 3hrs. :S

Before ish. (with a light sand)



Note i did the front cover with the covers still attached to the engine.. Back im doing tommorow morning.

Nearly 3hrs later







And painted calipers Yellow to go with the 'S badge on the door.









Btter pics tommorow when the cars washed, polished. Going to clay it too.

Man get a better jack before your car falls off that thing.

I agree its a shite jack. :(

Sorry for not saying about your work just that jack is bad news, but good job mate:y:

Ive noticed when i do come to jack it up the jack tilts alittle. Thats why i had to borrow axel stands when i changed the calipers over. I will get a better one soon. Small trolly jack.

And cheers. :)

Didnt do the over part of the cam cover (hectic morning, dont ask) later on i washed, clayed and waxed the car. These are only pics in the street. will get some better ones later.

I also got a new pin in the post from Delboy.























Cheers.

Paint your calipers black :D

Na i like them Yellow. ;)

Haha cheers.

Heat gun (Low Setting) on the grey part of the bumpers! :y:

I did black them but as you can see its came out grey. :(

Il have to buy a heat gun. :)

Hair dryer on hot works but takes a little longer! Looking clean though! Makes me miss my silver Saxo! :(

Could of at least cleaned it for the photos...

brb off to make it dirty. :P

:p

I might try the hair dryer still tommorow. Ive got all day lol.

BTW in that PM i guess they will be ok for the rear calipers? if so il just buy new.

Edit; bought new slider pins so il change them all over to brand new when they come. :)

needs lowering

How did you get that finish on the rocker cover i you dont mind me asking?

I used Sandpaper, went from the roughest to the finest and then polished it with Autosol. I only got the pack of 15 from Halfords for £6.

:y:

Deliberately left viewing this thread for a while thinking that when I came back it might look like a normal height car. I was wrong.

Haha, il think about lowering it. Im in no rush to do it. Speed bumps and bumps in the road in general are terrible. :(
