Josh looking good just a couple of questions,
how come your crownwheel is welded onto diff?, not the correct way to do it as i found out the other year at Llandow!! who fitted that to diff in that way?

did you not consider ditching servo and going for pedal box? or at least going for braided hoses and an in car bias valve?

how come carpet is still in there? thought this was a track car?? lol

It was welded by GMC, we cut it off and did it the normal way changing the FD to a 1.4xsi in the process - however that shat itself at the ring last year & punched a hole through the gearbox casing in the process, so weve gone back to GMC's style and welded it on this year as we had no problems with it like that before

I like how tidy the standard brake & fuel lines are, the standard fuel lines are enough to supply 220+ bhp so I dont see the need to change them, I especially dont like the brake lines through the car - although I would like to incorporate a bias valve into the standard set up some time in the future

Carpet - ill probably always keep in, hated driving my brothers to Llandow SO much about 5 years ago i think its scared me lol

Any more updates on this Josh?

Going to be ready in time for your ring trip?

Updates soon Berg, probably next week ;)

You still on the same number btw mate?

Sneak peak in the mean time...

looks fantastic josh really great progress

This is absolutely amazing! The best car on here by far (IMO) I love the fact that everything has been done to such a high standard and your going to hammer it round a track! Hate seeing projects like this then see them say around and polished. Can't wait too see the engine in now!

Wheres the engine update then ;)

Just need to paint it blue or a nice colour lol and convert it to Mk2 :D

Apart from that spot on :D

;)

Joe - nooooo way, we all know mark 2's are for girls :D :p

I saw you at FCS mate, but couldn't remember if it was you or not. Sorry i didn't come say hi. Ive also seen the facebook pic of what's coming. Looks awesome man!

Noooo mk1s look like fiat uno lol

Mk1 don't! Mk1 Saxo are the best Saxo.

I'd have a mk1 if there was a decent one out there!

damn right! :clapping:

remember josh get the b8s and lower brace on or it will never do a sub 8min ring lap and be considered a good car ;)

新しいエンジンは素晴らしいです。

My question also :)

sick car mate!!

will we be so privliged as to see this car at trax

More updates on this are needed!

I will be at Trax lads if all goes to plan :) Currently doing finishing touches to the car before it goes down to London for custom exhaust & manifold making, then down to Sandy to check everything over and tweaking the map.

I'll update this thread after Trax, unless your at the ring the weekend before Trax in which case you can look at it then :D

That is amazing fair play

JP - I am disgusted in you!

What the hell is that on the windscreen! A Sun Strip.....Dude come on we don’t live in the 90’s any more 

Next you’ll be telling us you have tights over your rear lights hahahaha!

Don't have any sun visors so need it Leeroy lol

Sunglasses were invented for uber cool people such as myself and you :-)

Any sign of it being ready for Trax?

Definitely should be ready for Trax ;) you going?

I tried it without a sunstrip and it was horrible, my seats are low so look directly into the sun lol

Yeah am going pal, will come over and stay hi, tried at FCS a few years back but some goons with huge camera's bet me to it lol
