The main 2012 update is on the previous page guys :)

Couple of videos;

Sandy having fun in the first mapping session (OE fuel pump)



And the first RR run (with OE fuel pump) - You'll need the turn the volume up for this one as my car has quite literally wrecked the microphone on my iphone 4S lol :D



And finally Sandy having fun on the rollers with the uprated fuel pump and over 220bhp's under his right foot :D - You'll need to turn the volume up on this video as well because of my wrecked microphone lol



TRAX Silverstone 2012 video of me on track, kindly taken on Ross's GoPro :)

If I'm honest I have never really liked the colour,

But the work gone into this from sandy to mark you and your dad ect... is just way beyond. That exhaust manifold is amazing its more art and the fact it's made for function over looks is just brilliant.

I think mango is great but its spoiled with the black arches and boot floor :(

Beaniemoo 20th October 2012 20:29

Loving the update, car is awesome.

Olly 21st October 2012 00:15

Rofl ing at the xr still has a rim job.

Mathias 21st October 2012 00:20

Love the car, love the engine, love the colour, love the detail and effort!

Basically love it!

Edit : love the carbon!

rhysg 21st October 2012 00:52

Amazing progress to say the least !

piggy123 21st October 2012 05:05

Well what can I say.... Just been a pleasure to help develop this over the last 6 years from a shocker to a top notch heroic car :) ..... Nuts brackets and every last little thing not left to be replaced or attacked by the sander to get repainted.

You'll see her soon bro :)

Oh P.S.
Now it's my turn JP :p

RickP 21st October 2012 11:03

This has to be THE benchmark NA Saxo!

PJN 21st October 2012 14:46

Top car for a top guy, what else can I say, certainly one of the finest cars on here!

hard_corejoeboy 21st October 2012 15:58

Im waiting for the nurburgring videos...

Bobo0907 21st October 2012 19:34

Mango is nice! Love everything about this car.

Needs more pics of the exhaust manifold, that thing is a work of art!

Thanks mate, the whole car is made to be as quick & functional as possible, but also at the same time I've tries to keep it looking tidy, comfortable & driveable all at the same time. It's certainly been a fine line!

Yep finally got our Internet installed into our new flat and found a few free hours between 11pm-3am on sat night to update - yes it took me 4 hours to write this update. Main issue was finding the pictures on my laptop / portable hard drive / camera / phone lol

Cheers mate, you've been a big part of this ferrying the car around. The ring trip & lap in the legendary XR was pay back :D haha

:) it's been 8 years in the making but I feel the car is near enough as I want it now. Still some slight improvements to come but apart from that its 99% as I want it :)

The manifold definitely sets it apart from anything else I've ever seen. Mike Edwards did a cracking job on it :) what other pics do you want?

white_vtr 22nd October 2012 09:13

That manifold is the fucking tits!! Like saod, its a work of art! :) car looks amazing mate well done!

Just some more pics of the manifold! Any more would do. I didn't think a series of pipes could look so good lol :homme:

What other little changes are you thinking of?

Lol, I'll dig some out now...

Well I want to change the clutch, get a few brackets powder coated that I didn't have time to get done before, get a full interior loom made up to tidy that up & ill be getting some after market digital dials at the same time :)

That's the jobs for this winter, sounds easy but I'm only back in the UK for 2 weeks over Christmas between now and next summer, so need to get cracking over Christmas and get as much done as possible!

In the long term I need the upper strut brace modifying & scuttle opening up to allow more air to get more around the trumpets easier as I'm losing 10bhp+ from the engine dyno figure to the rolling road figure as it currently stands


EDIT;

Few more manifold pics...






welshpug 24th October 2012 12:34

Looks great, Mike does turn out some fantastic work, any pics of the rest of the system? what kind of bore is it?

hard_corejoeboy 24th October 2012 13:09

Love the way this is a properly sorted machine.

Powdet coating brackets now that attention to detail!

jpsaxo 24th October 2012 13:47

Half of them have already been done Joe, just didnt get time to do the rest as we ran out of time. Basically everything pre-engine was powdercoated where possible. I took a big box of bits and bobs to be done lol

The whole system from the manifold back was done by Mike. Its been done with proper push on connectors etc. I cant say any dimensions, primary lengths etc as we have to respect Sandys confidential information that hes spent months / years perfecting
