Pictures from today after a quick wash and to nice location for some photos.

Looks very low key on the outside vs the spec list ;)
Plans?

+1 for the lady in the last pic :D

Very nice! got quite a good spec too :y:
how much was it?

Just the way I like it,externally nothing will change at all,except I will respray the rear badges silver as they are a bit dull. Everything will go on making it quicker and handle better. So bodies etc are planned.

Subtle is the way forwards (i reckon so anyways )
Leaving the inside as is?

Nice one mate, thats a really nice mk1.

a very good spec list there mate ..... a nice buy :y:
what bhp is it running at?
has it been remapped yeah?

Cheers, no the inside wont be staying the same, I need to sort the odd seats out and it will probably lose the rear seats to a cage. But I havent really decided with the interior.

Cheers.

Its running KMS. The BHP varies between rolling road, when the cams were put in and the KMS mapped it made 156BHP at the fly. I would have thought it would be slightly higher now as things bed in.

ooh yeah, didnt notice the kms. not bad that at all :y:

Awesome spec mate fair play. Not really feeling the angels Id change them for smoked stds or normal stds as they look a bit chavvy in my opinion. Looks great other than that

btw....dewiper :y:
and t-cut badges, and also cut the centre pipe down to stop magnex sticking out so much. then it will be spotless imo!! :)

Was looking at that one myself. minter mate :y: Nice one.

very nice, maybe change the front head lights?

a very nice buy tho :y:

andy

I was unsure about the front lights too but they have grown on me.I don't drive around with the angel eyes on so I don't think there that chavvy.

yer just look abit too much chromey to me, by the car still looks mint with or without them tbf tho, it a very nice buy indeed :A:

imo one of the best colours too

really nice that mate! :)

Very Nice Saxo mate :)

I like that, nearly bought one of these :y:

very nice mate, best colour aswel :y:

Cheers karl, sorry for not replying to the pm, I completely forgot.

Very nice mate, :)

Cheers it is nice looking.

It has started to develop a series of oil leaks though.It looks like it is leaking from the oil cooler sandwhich plate and somewhere between the head and the bottom end. Not good, I had forgotten that saxos break.

Ah bugger!

My gti did the same a few days after i bought it too, was the HG :(
See my blog for leak pics ;)

Just had a look thats a real leak bickerton, mines like a few drops every night. Still a bugger though!

Ye i got it repaired but back to a few drops again now, dunno if its just cam seals or what as HG seems to be fine now

The cams seals on mine have a little line around them but not really a leak. the sandwhich filter seems to be leaking aswell. Not sure how to sort that out though.

I dont actually know what that filter is matey :(
Need to rip the cam covers off mine soonish and see whats goin on

Epic failure, I tried resealing the cam covers yesterday to stop the oil leak and iv made it quite a bit worse. Took it out for a run, smoke and oil everywhere,wouldnt be suprised if theres none left tbh.

Im assuming I bought the wrong stuff.

Any advice would be great.

Speak to Willsy......think he had the lip on his rockers machined down, to make them seal better.

Like simon says have a word with Matt!

How did you *attempt* to seal them?

When you take them off, make sure all the left over sealent is taken off the cam ladders and the bottom of the cam covers. Use some fine wet and dry paper or whatever, to make the surface nice and smooth and clean. You can get a gasket sealent from Halfrauds. Just make sure it's one that works up to a decent temperature, but 99% will be fine as that area doesn't get really hot. Probably no hotter than 170c at a guess...

Make sure you put more oil in before turning the engine over!!!

That not good matey.
I hadn;t seen what that sealent was before you showed me it, assumed was the right thing.
I used a copper silicone sealent when i did mine by loctite, as mentioed some people grind the lugs down a little but i didnt need to myself

thats a shitter

i used a whole tube of loctite gaskket sealer on mine and it still leaked lol

still leaking slightly now but nothing bad

Nice one Dan :D Havent seen the thread unitll now :)

I just bought the wrong stuff. Got some new stuff now, same as your copper stuff but its black. I have just resealed them so will give it another go tomorrow. Worried that some of the crap will have got mixed in with what oil is left now.

Like how you look when I break it lol.

I did it the right way toad,just bought the wrong stuff to seal it with.The new stuff I have is fine upto 275c so should be ok. And I wont forget to put more oil in it.

Just started the car again and suprise suprise its leaking oil again.

Why oh why did I buy another saxo??

Anybody want to buy it?pm offers

Less of a leak or?

Yea less of a leak but still means iv got to take the cover off again and seal it etc.so going to do that at the weekend as I can't be arsed now.if that doesn't work I will buy c2 rockers.if that doesn't work then it will be in the for sale section.

Alot of people have issues resealing these rocker tbh, either works or it doesn't.
Some people grind the lugs down etc. C2 covers will sort any problem you have matey just dont come cheap

Check your local scrappies. I think some engines fitted to the 307 have the same rockers?
