Lol thanks, Yeh roads you dont know become a massive hazard! Forever looking for potholes or big dips in the road. What tyres are you going to use? With the right tyres you should get away with not having any rubbing on the front on full lock.

Lows :-) i like it

Thanks :y:
Not as low as yours though! :A:
Looking forward to having a look at yours at Ace Cafe on Saturday if your up there? :)

Yeah il be at ace mate come say hi if you want

Yeh I will buddy, cheers :y:

Update - Got myself a large square rear view mirror which I like for some reason unknown to me! It was an e-bay bargain so thought I'd try it out, I will reserve my judgement on it for a couple weeks.
Also got abit sticker happy, nothing ott just a couple on the rear window and a sneaky one on the new mirror.
Got some pictures of how the car is now. It will probably stay as it looks now for a few months, plans are to just spray a couple bits, a/b pillars etc, and just keep it clean. Oh, and look into buying a bloody camera! :D

Hmm, i cant work out if i like it or not lol. It's certainly different, i think it looks pretty cool but don't know if i'd have it or not ha

Yeh I'm not sure on it yet. It obviously gives a wider view than standard, but it isnt like the standard mirror is restrictive of view so it does nothing much for practicality, I quite like how it's not rounded so looks kinda cool from the car behind me :)

im a big fan of the rear view mirror been looking into one for myself, whered you pick it up?

Just typed in "Large Rear View Mirror Saxo" on eBay :)

looking good mate. what banded steels u rekon you'll go for?

Thanks :y:
Probably either citroen or ford 14" ones, either 7j fronts 8j rears, or 7.5j fronts and 8j rears.

I've seen 2 or 3 sets in these sizes pop up for sale recently, so hopefully a set suitable will be up for sale after the summer. :)

this is the nicest Furio I've ever seen.

haha Cheers, personally I think jacks old posi blue furio on the blue BBS's is the nicest furio ever, hopefully one day mine will look like that! :)

height looks perfect
unsure about the mirror though... seems a bit too retro for me lol

Cheers, its sitting exactly how I want it now, based on how yours is at the front, and the fact mine is 10mm higher as standard, I'd say mine is about 80mm.
To get to this point I've gone from being at 35/40mm, Apex 50mm kit, Change to Spax 60mm springs...Then FINALLY stopped being a pussy and just got the Gaz's :panic:

Yeh the mirror is just a maybe for now :hug:

haha ive lowered my car 4 times now aswell
started at 35/40mm
then spax 60mm, then gaz 70/75mm, now the gaz with custom springs ;)
its an addiction going lower tbh

Yeh, we both should of saved ourselves some money and went straight for the coillies!

I cant see myself going any lower than this at the front, but once I've got some banded steels or something wide I'll lower the back another 10 or 15mm I think.

On a side note, got my mk1 PAS pipes on now, feels so amazing have power steering back, I actually got a thrill out of bay parking last night :homme:

how much clearance have you got between the mk1 pipes and the steering arm? as you know my cars not as low as your yet but it still touches on full lock

Still had to bend a part out the way, but once that was done theres loads of room (loads in comparison to how much gap I did have) I could go another 10mm lower and would still have a gap I think. :y:

could you be a darling and grab couple of photos for me of what you bit you bent?

I shall get some tomorrow for you :)

had been toying with getting a big mirror a while ago, saw yours and it reminded me, i think it looks pretty good and gone and ordered myself one! cheers man

No worries :y:

love the car mate looks good

Took my front wipers off today as I decided to respray the wiper arms. Now I'm tempted to leave them off for abit, as it looks alot cleaner without the wipers!
Also clayed the top half of the car, it feels nice and smooth now!

That reminds me, i need to re-spray my wiper arms!

Saxos look better without wipers at all! But yeh, my wiper arms were also in serious need of respraying!

This Saxo is basically perfect to me, subtle yet cleaaaaan! Less is definitely more, keep it up mate :)

Cheers, yeh, just wheels left to get and then I'm pretty much sorted, just a few interior bits to tidy up too :)

you getting different wheels for her like

Banded steels eventually, not for a 4-5 months yet though :)

did you get them pics in the end mate?

Ah Yeh, I uploaded them onto my computer and then forgot about them! Kinda hard to make out whats what, but the bit I bent is just where it joins and dissapears into the firewall bit, instead of it coming out towards the steering arm it now goes parallel with it, and then obviously goes completely away from it with the flexible mk1 pipe.

You can see where the mark is where Kris had the pole against it to push it back away from the steering arm.

Looking very smart as always. It does look a lot cleaner without but what happens when it rains....haa Just take them off for shows ;)

Thanks Simon!
They are back on now, I was only toying with the idea, unless I find an amazing product for the windows that makes water run off instantly, they will be staying on except for shows :y:

Ahh good stuff man! Yeah I've tried rain-x but even that isn't quite good enough to go without wipers. It is only ok IF the rain is hard as if its light rain it just puts a mist on the screen and you can't see shit! Tried in my dads fiesta a few years ago...safe to say I ended up using the wipers!!

Yes It seems wipers are a necessity, who would of thought?! :hug:

While I had my wipers off got a few more pictures, almost happy with how the paint work is looking now. Thinking of getting the boot resprayed and then getting the rest of the car mopped in the summer.

There are now 2 sets of the exact banded steels that I want for sale. Just cant afford them for about another two months, hoping a set will still be about by then, in which case I'll have them on for FCS 2012.





And a reflection shot:

looks awesome

i know them pipes too well lol what a nightmare
