If you can call it an update there's another CS meet in guildford Wed nite so more picture opportunities

And the final stage of bodywork on my car has now been arranged along with another cash injection planned just after Christmas to get a new exhaust system including manifold fitted in time for the RR day in Jan :A:
Cams and a remap are also on the cards at the moment...

Wayne 2nd December 2007 12:22

Few little mods coming soon and another full detail for the new year ;)

RedB 6th January 2008 12:52

Performance mods coming in the next couple of weeks...

This sexy thing
http://www.kam-racing.com/product_in...201759f3dd5cb6

Along with this centre section
http://www.kam-racing.com/product_in...roducts_id/370

Goodridge Braided brake lines are also being fitted along with the exhaust and manifold to give the brakes a better 'feel'

Huge order will be placed with Opie Oils tommorow for new oil and filters for a full service...if you can call it a mod :ponder:

Few finishing touches to my sound system and interior happening this month aswell ;)

k2thecsaxo 6th January 2008 13:26

Wayne 6th January 2008 19:02

next mods sound perfect buddy:y:

RedB 11th January 2008 20:29

Just a small update...

Searching on the bay i came across these...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...B:EOIBSA:UK:11

Thought i may as well snap them up as im going for a new exhaust...
Thanks to Craig (saxo180) for pics of the difference they make :y:

Order from Opie arrived on Wed, 2 days after i ordered it :d

Silkolene Pro 5w-40 oil
Motul 5.1 Pro Brake Fluid
Purolator Oil + Fuel filters

The next week should be good when my 'little' order from Kam arrives with the Goodridge's
and everything can be fitted :)

RedB 17th January 2008 03:45

Early birthday present to myself :A:

* One of many including the new Clifford Alarm iv also just ordered ;) *

Dubious package arrives, on inspection it looks like something from Kam-Racing...


It is ;)




So sexy, i dont want to heat-wrap it but iv already oredered enough to wrap the manifold and exhaust before fitting...

One last snap

RedB 17th January 2008 03:48

New Motorsport exhaust mounts have also arrived along with this little bundle of goodies...


Thanks again Opie, service and prices were top notch
Came in two days after ordering it :y:

Full list of whats included in the order is above ;)

More to come shortly :)

thadogg 17th January 2008 08:32

That manifold looks awesome mate! Very Nice :y:

SaxoAL 17th January 2008 09:09

I want that manifold!

I used to see your saxo at Heathfield Budgens all the time, think the guy worked there (or is that you)
Mind you Haywards Heath would be quite far to come to work!

Lovely looking car mate anyway

rushy_23 17th January 2008 09:52

That manifold is the nuts man. Im well pleased with mine.
Started to go gold/purple :p

Nice one.

Hopcraft 17th January 2008 14:32

jpsaxo 17th January 2008 15:16

Supervisor at budgens and i worked with him at Somerfield near where Mike Crackers lives

Fitted a mint sound system, lowered it and went with the classic Cobra Imola buckets/6 point harness combo...

Respect :)

You'll see at the RR day aswell mate :y:

Having another mod fitted and finished that morning before i meet you guys aswell!

Will all be fitted and done on Wed if i have time, test drive on thurs but i know the temptation to give the new system a cheeky blast will slowly set in :p

Thanks for all the comments people

Il treat you to another pic of my new exhaust soon aswell as the one semi-good pic there doesnt do the quality and feel of it justice :cool:

Alex 17th January 2008 21:12

RedB 1st February 2008 21:02

Update 1st Feb

Old zorst coming off...



Bare :fcuk:


Realised when the manifold came off that the block needs a good degrease and clean with a lick of paint
Subtely hinting mods happening in the next few weeks ;)




Lovely new Goodridge braided brake lines on



New exhaust and motorsport hangers...



Bled the whole system and filled with Motul 5.1 pro brake fluid before adjusting the pedal, car feels a lot more responsive under braking now and the pedal feels harder
