You either need to lower it, or put the standard backbox back on imo. I just think it looks a bit daft being the only mod on the car.

Looks spotless though! And I like the yellow!

Not putting that back on. it has a chrome tip on the end so its not much different then then i have on now tbf. I thought these exhaust sat level with the bumper anyway!? mine sits out abit as you can see.





And thanks i did it to match the 'S' on the door panel. :) :oops:

I know these are only daft updates but meh..

I know most people think they are chavvy etc but the car rolled out the factory with them on so i want them back on regardless of peoples thoughts.

Yday post;

Was meant to do the '16V' badges today, the pin for the gear stick thing and brake slider stuff but the rain/snow etc has stopped that.

Tommorows job and with a ref guide as to where the badges go. ;) You will probs why im putting them back on.. because i want to and thats how it came out of the factory. :p




Today;

Fitted the slider pins etc etc and also fitted my 16V badges. :D

Next job tommorow is finish the cam cover and thats it till i get a centre section.







:D

Fair play for wanting it standard mate. If you can get it 100% mint and as it rolled out of the factory then thats pretty cool. But it does have some odd bits like the yellow calipers and the supersprint. I reckon subtle lowering and it will all look spot on. Proper oem style if anything.

Yeah i suppose but i havent got OEM++ or anything shit like that lol. (not going there)

Tbh bar the backbox and HU the car is completly standard lol. Exterior wise there isnt going to be any shit smoked headlights, silly coloured wheels or badges tbh. :) Staying as it is.

And cheers. :hug:

I'm thinking about whacking my kam system on purely because my car is immaculate and the rusty vtr backbox is letting it down big time!

needs lowering

Yes. Well mine had a pin hole in it anyway at the back of it. I had no intention of keeping the standard backbox.

Meh... Its fine Christopher.

Next update will be my centre section when i finally get one. :homme:

looks really clean but i agree with the lowering! not only will it look 10x better, it will handle better too.

and i mean do it properly with decent springs, it will improve the car, and you can always put it back to standard anyway!

Il consider it later on this year + i wouldnt stick cheap shit on. Im in no rush.

And thanks.

So the pins fitted ok? ;)

Well i had to cut them down a abit yeah but they are spot on. :oops:

Just after a catback now and its prooving hard unless i buy new. :homme:

looks good lowered

wait wut

hurhurhur

hurhurhur

im working around the car Chros. One thing at a time. ;)

Next week i should have in the post

Catback centre section
Black paint
Powerflex exhaust rubbers

Week after should be new droplinks, new powerflex? bushes for the roll bar or w.e it is and springy exhaust bit that goes between the downpipe and cat join. Im pretty sure mine sqeaks and it looks past its best anyway. Im working around the front end uprating rubbers and making sure its pretty damn fuckin sweet.

Small updates i know but thats that. :D

Looks nice, try and keep it clean and subtle. Attention to all little details is everything!

Also as said I've never seen a Saxo sit so high lol

Exterior is staying nice and standard. ;) And willd do.

And lol, loads of said.

Where you been man?

Gdgd John keep it minters, you have a good base to start with and it's a 53' one of the very last :)

I'm knocking about mate just don't use forums as much any more :).

Hope you're keeping well :)

I'm not too bad thanks mate, you too :)

:)

Plan is to keep it as good condition as i can. Changing a few small parts over the next few weeks as i think they past it. Going by its history on the direct gov site (prev mots since new) the most its had come mot time was a leaking exhaust and pads and discs. :D its had a good life so thats win.

It should wizz through the mot this year. :A:


Anyway will update with pics and vid when i get the pipe etc this week.

Sounds bang on.

Cheers.

I looked for weeks and weeks on the internet and they looked like a bag of nails most of them tbh (localish to me). I think if this one was when i looked at it i would of gave up looking for a near mint one and looked at other cars. Got lucky for a change minus the little tiff i had with the calipers and ABS sensor.. Its been trouble free for nearly a month touch wood so i can finally move onto uprating certain rubbers etc.

Extremely hard to find a decent one now days. When I found mine it was stock which was rare but dirty as fck swear the previous OP was a joker and took it down mine shafts lols.

Anyways enough of the waffling, nice car John do her proud haha

It is man pretty hard to find a decent one. Car itself was clean. The archs were something else. :( :(

And i will. :D

how did you stick on the 16v badges?
they kept falling off my spare vts :(

Was a ballache cutting in/around the '16V' tbh.

power update;

Got my centre section off mishy off here. Liam westcost iirc prev owned the pipe. Turns out its a nigh on mint. :D Thanks mate!

Pics before. ( i know what you're thinking, a mess. Naww.



This is also on the backbox with the same digit of '820...' so..

Bore



Painted;





Underneath; Having had a proper look it looks primered/silverish so i think il scrub that dirt off. Its uber clean underneath!





OE vs SS









Poweflex'd

Done. The Poweflex rubbers are perfect! :D I reccomend. No cable tied just adjusted to suit and it sits dead on.. doesnt knock of the bumper, nothing. Vids another day.

lookin sweet

Need a video mate!

Glad its gone to a good home and is fitted to a ss back box. looks mint all painted up, sitting sweet in the bumper too.

;)

Its quite loud haha. The cats defo staying on! :homme: the pops and bangs are fap worthy though. :D

Need to get used to the noise again. I got used to it being quiet haha.

Cheers man. :hug:

good shout keeping it standard. worst thing i ever did moddibg the saxo. made it to loud and too low

Cheers. I just like Standard looking Saxos better atm. Dont get me wrong i liked modded ones too i just cba to go there. Im just uprating certain parts and making sure it runs sweet which it does atm. Just a tad noisy now till i adjust again. Pops, bangs are good though.

Changed the petrol filter today and the clip thats 'meant' to support it. Old filter wasnt that bad but it had to be changed.. Wasnt that bad lost abit as you do *set back a £1 or so but all wasnt bad, The inner end you have to push a small White clip in. The rear just pulls off along with the fuel and then in teh eye :(

Old/before;






After;



On my first day off this week its going on the ramps and getting washed underneath. Pics before and after ofc.

Next are droplinks (already have but doing it all at once) and arb polybushs when i order them this week. And thats it for a month or so.

Then Kamracing gearlinkages

And a decent panel filter

Looks amazing mate, the exhaust really suits the car.

Thanks man. :)

I wasnt sure at first because with the OE centre section it made the tip stick out too far and looked shit. Now with the SS centre pipe it sits nice in the recess and not in your face haha.

Next year plans are new cambelt and decent clutch. Then no idea. :/

video!!!

All good time haha. :P ;)

Will get one this week.
