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.

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

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

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.

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

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. :/
