Definitely Saxp's most painted engine bay by now ;-) looks great mate, time for goodies to go on then.

That looks ace!

So who fitted the Satchell parts??

This car somehow gets better every time I come back and read your thread. Really nice mate, loving the progress :)

Haha Matt, your probably right... Yes goodies now, starting with the brake lines this week :)

Cheers Joe

David Vanstone

Cheers for the kind words Scott(?) I remember that Coventry meet in your little 1.0/1.1 8v track prepped and lowered car, that's one that always stood out to me :)

Yeh that was me haha, that little beast got written off by some OAP picking up their pension check. Gone german now :afro:

Always arse reference, must be from your time at camp with "the boys" :homme:

You have a Citroen Ax you aren't qualified to provide humour.

And a pink 106 does qualify?!?

Oh man that sucks Scott, loved that motor of yours

Thanks Joe

Few reasons really, the passengers side had to be removed to fit the gearbox mount. So we removed the drivers side to match

Also It wasn't sealed so basically meant the chassis rails could easily get water in and rust from the inside outwards. Whilst removing we also found a rather large amount of sealer had been used instead of welds lol. Plus the weight saving of course ;)

Wow josh looks great. I am amazed how you can coordinate this even from oz. you must be spending some dosh!

Haha Lewis, coordinating the project from the opposit side of the world is a task in itself mate trust me!


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


Beaniesport cracking on with getting it back together now :)

Looks absolutely fantastic mate really. What was the damage to the wallet for the full front suspension set up? You've gone for the rear too right? I need to talk to beanie about possible storage of my rallye as I'm buying a house but can't find one with a garage currently but do not want to sell it! :-/

Get a council garage ;-)

That is a possibility but they are tiny and insecure and no power!

Just finish it Lewis FFS :D lol!

Yes front & rear set up.... Front is £2k (excluding BE mountings, shafts etc) + fitting + dampers

Storage you know where if your stuck ;)

This is going to be one of the best equipped saxos out there?

Any plans for anything else after suspension? If theres anything else could do to it. Just needs a turbo next imo hahaha :p

*cough*

SADEV

*COUGH*

Will be amazing mate I'd like a blast in it when I next see you if possible! Best saxo out there :)

Thanks for your offer again mate that's super kind of you. I will let you know what happens! We just got a little place but no garage as expected so I will see what I can find storage wise in the meantime.

I've pretty much built my rally car in my council garage, stop making excuses and get it finished! :P

Got a few plans in the pipeline for the future. Like you say... There isnt much to do to it now. Certainly not putting the cheating snail on it lol ;)

Don't tempt me Stuart, I'm tempted enough myself lol. BE should keep me happy for another few years ;)

Cheers Lewis, means a lot coming from someone that has a mint 106 such as yours :)

Pics then :D

Not been made yet me old fruit. That's the next job once my parents & brother return to the UK from there trip to Sydney :) it won't be anything flash, I prefer subtle ;)

Custom brake lines now done;

Car looks amazing. Love the added engine mounts and the Satchell setup.

In car Bias valve worth fitting? As i know with the rear brake bias valve need adjusting when the rear has been lowered as it can be quite "interesting".

Engine wise this car is probably one of the best out there unless Sandy has built a few more evolutions of them :D

I'll have to get some pics of the rally car I service for, its just been in Colins workshop for the widest setup they've done so far...


No SB engine yet, but clicky box is in there ;)

That's not the red and white one that's knocking about up North is it by any chance?

There's 4-5 engines of similar spec to mine that I know of.

Originally there was mine & one in Ireland built at a similar time. There's one being built currently, and another 1 in a 106 rally car. Will Diclaudio's is also similar spec too I believe :)


Yes it's definitely worth fitting, the standard mechanical one I had would always seize up over time, plus I don't think the standard unit would work correctly with the new rear suspension set up I now have :)

Update 09/06/14

Engine bay sprayed & front end put back in








Engine in;

Just building up the BE box mate. Lots of other bits and bobs to sort out which I am in the process of doing as we speak. May be a start up video end of July is the plan :)

Cheers matey. Satchels kit really is immensely well thought out, and ALOT more than meets the eye in these pictures.

:D

:cool::cool: will you be coming to see us while im back Alan?

Im glad its noticed, its taken alot out of me over the last 6 months to be honest. Its hard trying to co-ordinate things from the otherside of the world. I'll be glad to just getting back to sorting out 'bits and bobs' instead of massive upgrades from now on :)

Fingers crossed I might get a Saturday where I can have a drive down and see you. You far from Alex and Lea's place?

Yeah 15mins from Lea & Alex's. Fancy the RR day on the 10th of August?
