Beaut Coutts you big spender ;)

liking the look of progress mate :y: i noticed your looking for a hose that goes to thermostat housing from heater matrix.. dont buy one your vtr one is the same

Damn that's clean mate, well done :y: all mods you have done tick my boxes

And now a sexy 16v lump... Being done right.;)

Thought about doing a head gasket change on that engine? Just to be on safe side?

Still Nice low mileage tbh.

yeah just need to get the front bumper sprayed as that one looks naf


cheers mate simon0014 did them on here

yes burgs :P

cheers sam i didnt realise they were the same saves me having to buy that :)

thanks mate, ill will do the headgasket once its all in and running and maybe get it skimmed ect :)

also i would advise when you remove 8v lump dont take the hoses off the heater matrix tuck them out the way because they are a bastard to get back on with 16v engine in the way ;)

Hey Coutts how are you doorcards looking....:P

Are you about at all on saturday afternoon/evening coming?! I am popping home for the parents birthdays.

Doorcard! haha its fooking annoying

Beautiful motor mate!

Whats the build quality of the mani like and price? simon was on about it the other day as i want a mani for my 16v..

for sale Thread

Right so now for the new whip :panic:


will get a thread up soon

YES S1 106 :sweetheart:

thats a very nice next car!
was expecting to see what everyone does and move to a dull audi or golf :homme:

all your saxo needs is a bit of lowering on the rear to make it even then it'll look perfect imo
also, the svr badge looks rather pointless :S

I was expecting it to be a boring golf/audi or something vtec. But looks like you have sense lol. I'm not jealous in anyway lol, cant wait for some more pics.
