oh I agree with that wholeheartedly, I was just wondering on the bore of the system rather than the manifold bits as to what's required for something of this power/rpm/capacity :)

Im not sure if Sandy wants to reveal that information either mate tbh :y:

p.s. i saw your post about Mike Edwards and my manifold / engine on 306gti6 forum :A:

not a fan of this colour but this car is mint!

This has to be one of the best saxos. I remember it on the cyclones any more plans for it josh ?

I hope he plans on just enjoying it now tbh!!

Think there is a digi dash plan judging by some of his other posts on here!

Taz - long time no speak mate, cyclone phase seems a long time ago now lol

Colour isn't everyone's cup of tea, I love it!

Yeah few bits and bobs but nothing serious tbh

I will order new set of pistons to my itb saxo , do you suggest 12.7 comp wossners

it was a long time ago we wont mention the roundabout at the richo lol but it has come a long way

I don't suggest wossners at all regardless of compression mate, the design is not great

Haha good times!

The colour is the best bit! But I am a little bias ;)

Amazing preparation,grats. :)

yea back when the wm meets were huge

Cheers lads ^

My brother/dad are looking after it while I'm away :)

Sam was up there last night sweeping the leaves and shit out of the garage... I plan to put some rubber along the bottom of the garage door over christmas to stop the crap getting in. Good work chaps!

Lol! Brotherly love :homme: :P

This car is stunting i love the car as a whole,, mango and carbon is a very good look,, hopefully gonna try and get in touch with sandy brown for my own jp4 engine but wont be anywhere near this car :P there has been alot of hard work put into this saxo with great results bet you cant stop driving it :D

Thanks matey, appreciate the kind words :) I actually spend most of the year living in Sydney (yes, down under!) so don't get to drive it too often. My dad looks after it while I'm away, turning it over etc regularly.

I fly back for Christmas on Wednesday, land in the Uk on Thursday so will be working on it all day Friday getting a few upgrades for 2012 on the way

Sounds good bud i am looking to get an engine done by sandy brown but havent been able to get in contact with him nothing near yours but something for fast road use. Bet its great living down under, also where did you get the cage i am looking for a half cage welded in that looks like yours but cant find it anyway can you help.. But as always keep this updated best car on here :D

Well i landed back in the UK yesterday evening, so naturally i was up the garage all of today playing with the car... lol

Beaniemoo aka Mike lended a hand today and we got a fair bit done...

First we started it up... Mike has a nice video of this which I'm sure he will upload later...

Next we set about stripping the full interior loom out of the whole car





Some epic munch!



And the finished full interior loom removed





More to come over Christmas while I'm back :D

Get that heavy heater matrix out whilst the dash is out ;)

NO way mate, I drove my brothers to Llandow in March years ago without a heater matrix, scared me for life lol

put a micro heater in instead (or just man up :P)

Lol, nah I'd rather go 0.25seconds slower per lap tbh

I had a brilliant day today, pulling to Saxo apart along with a good haul from the 'closed' chip shop!
Lovely car that sounded amazing!
I currently have a Clio boot full of Saxo wiring, it looks a bit scary at the moment, but all will become clear when its spread out in my living room lol.
I will make sure the interior loom is of a quality to make the car proud!
Video of car as previously promised



...Also REAL cars don't have heater or carpets

love this

what is it that takes you down under fella

I'm guessing a aeroplane?

lol i was asking for that really.

i will ask again. whats your occupation

looks lovely.. nice car mate

Amazing car! The exhaust manifold and the engine at all are epic! Cheers JP!

You hooligan jp :p

Mainly the weather, life style & the crazy money you can earn in oz :) + I love the V8supercars so that's definitely a bonus. Also my wife is currently finishing off her degree at Sydney Uni and has permanent residency over there, she's not so fond of the cold lol

Appreciate it mate, thanks :)

Cheers buddy!!

Gotta be done mate ;)


------------------------------------------------------------------


I'm off up to the garage again today so will get some more snaps of the cars current state :)

what is it you do for a occupation then over there. i would love to move out there a friend of minr i worked with now lives in perth and loves it

Work for a company called "Telstra" - same as BT over here. Can't believe he likes Perth, it's like a Ghost town + thousands of miles from anywhere lol

For more updates...

The car has been stored in my own little unit for the past 6months...





First job was to put the car back on axel stands



I then removed a few brackets from the engine bay that hadn't previously been powder coated as we ran out of time...



Engine bay as it currently stands with the brackets removed



The interior of the car is currently completely stripped and Beaniemoo will update with interior loom updates :)

Good sized unit that is mate. Nice & tidy too.

makes me remember when my unit was tidy lol :S
oops

Lol tis difficult to keep tidy when it's an active garage. Constant battle keeping my own tidy now even though its just me using it

Even harder when it's not your garage lol it's all about building our cars on our drives

Nice work Jp who dies your powder coating ?

i gave up trying recently
its a case of just in work out mess is just left
tomorrow itll be a super mess
stripping most of the car :/

I'd just like a unit... or garage. This car port leaks like a sieve! Looks really comfy tucked up in their though :D
