but really....looks good though mate :y:

Cheers Baz. Il do my best to keep it tidy.

Not sure how far im going with it though. :(

In what sense? The sense of mods or how far you'll go to keep it standard looking and tidying bits up

Mods.

As for tidying up i really dont have much to do in that department either. Just needs a wash underneath really. I have a squeak when i change gear so im not sure if thats a engine mount/or the spring at the front of the exhaust. Other then that i cant see anything else to change? I suppose thats a good thing. More money in my pocket. :cool:

Indeed! Just paint few bits under the bonnet etc, need to paint my wiper arms that I have. Hate the fact the paints come off them lol

Haha might do.



Just ordered these as mine have little splits in them so that cant be any good + new droplinks to fit at the same time. Sorted.

Need to order the new exhaust 'fitting kit' springy bit from 106parts as its £20 post iirc. Kamracing its near £25. :zainy: fuck that.. im all for decent quality parts but there must be a line somewhere hurhur...

looking good mate, exhaust sits much better now with ss centre pipe.

Get from kamracing john, 106parts are idoits they always mess order's up if it even turns up!

Cheers Liam. :A:

Its the price they bump ontop just to post man. £25. Il probs bite the bullet and buy.. since you've mentioned this.

Worth it man, i got strut braces for my saxo and they sent me a audi a4 one worth £45, mine was £110 after about a week they replied saying they won't do nothing till they get the audi one back because i may not send it back! I was like wtffff

:wacko:

Shame.

Ah well that can wait till i get paid on Friday lol. If that doesnt solve the squeak onto the lower engine mount next to the downpipe. :(

I had this squeak on mine when it was standard tried replacing springs a few times with no luck! Only went when I got my Peugeot Sport mounts! For the price i'd just buy a Powerflex lower bush! :y:

For springs though they are cheap! Would never buy a fitting kit again they are way overpriced...you can get better quality components that will do the same job for next to nothing!

You've seen the vid then? its annoying haha and awesome! Cheers for the links. Will buy on Friday. Il use the money on a new mount instead and get the exhaust springs cheaper. Il double check mine over first.

I have no idea why they are so high priced on that site. Im not being stingy but tbf..

Is the mount rubber easy to fit?

Edit is this exactly the same as i can get it for £23

Well started on cleaning the underneath + it was to double check for rust. its getting another go tommorow then thats that done. Still awaiting ARB Polybushs.. shouldnt be long now IMO.

Before;











After;



Need a gromit for there.. il rob one off another Saxo when i go to the scrapyard.

















Exhaust will all get sprayed to match the SS as it looks out of place. Check for rattles and theres nothing so the squeak must be the engine mount next to the downpipe. Next pics tommorow when ive whore it out moar.

How does it look for a 2003 car? ;)

Finished cleaning underneath that will do till the winter comes. Also washed the car and hoovered it. Had to be done tbh..







My cousin (20yr) thought this would be safe whilst i clean underneath. Thick cunt.. soon put it right.



I have the odd scab under the boot floor but its not worth bothering about.



Cam cover will get finished when i sort the Droplinks and ARB bushes. Still waiting on my arb bushes though..

The car is now literally sparkling from top to underneath/in.

get some waxoil on there mate

Nah don't wax oil it! Wire brush the rust bits down, then sand them, then some silver hammerite :D just on the rear part of the underside though :)

What all underneath? lol. Why the orig underseal is more then enough.

Cheers.

I wont be LOL. It really isnt great stuff.

Mr postman gave me the ARB bushes today, oosh.



So my new droplinks and bushes will go on this weekend. Should be a gooden.

Just got to wait for my lower engine mount one now (next to the downpipe)

Droplinks in short were a nightmare. :D When refitting them i came across a issue where they wouldnt fit. I made a rant status (heh heh) and dougeh gave me a idea which i had to use on the pass side btw. Thanks bbz. But on the drivers side i put a steely under the wishbone and lowered it right down. that gave me spaceto put it in and win!

Also i didnt have the right bit so couldnt change the ARB rubbers. Any idea what size it is? thanks, I Will have to buy some bits next week along with the lower engine mount rubber. If its then not that i HAS to be the one under the ECU.



At first both nuts came loose i was happy bout that! then it came to the end and it was just the thread and nut going round and round. *sigh. Luckily i had Mr Grinder to come to play. heh heh heh. :D

The work place and gear



During, more or less the same on both sides





Angle grinder had a go. It melted the plastic seal so i could get it off. #winning

Old/new



New on. Both same sides



Both old droplinks after. They wernt that bad looking at them. They did have little tiny cuts in them so..







Next update will be when i buy new bits and Polybush engine mount.

what the hell did you do to those old drop links lmao, been on the move since you fitted them?
