Cheers 
Nah the lower mount was the easiest of the bushes to fit. Just unbolt the mount and smack the old bush out with a hammer. Mine came out with one hit. The just hammer the new bush in and refit. Took about 15 mins

98brake R? Fully serviced, 4-2-1 piper mani, decat, supersprint centre and magnex box? Should see 115 at fly maybe more, (that just me guessing from other figures I've seen at local RR on vtr's).
Get one done when the cams are wacked in and remapped... car going on track in near future?

Well its enough to feel a difference over standard anyway!
Ive looked into track days but i want to put a bit more work into the car first. Deffo somthing for the future though. Ive done a couple before in different cars and they are a blast for sure!

Very nice mate, seems like you are doing things properly. i.e. really servicing the enigne / car then focusing on the important things like bushes and brakes lines. Hope you make it really good mate. And what a lift you have!!!!!!!!

That looks stunning dude - very similar to mine spec wise. Drop a Kent PT40 cam in, you won't look back.

Thanks for the comments guys!
How would a pt40 compare to a ph3 cam? Much difference?

Duration is pretty similar 266 vs 270 IIRC. I've heard a few people mention that the PH3 runs quite lumpy though - the PT40 runs perfect on the standard map and gives the car a bit more of a kick top end. Although tbh, you might be better off grabbing a PH3 and seeing how you get on, the PT40 is quite pricey to buy.

Really impressive work so far
Aside from the old timers, this is one of the best newcomers modding progress that ive seen in ages. So much more rewarding when you're doing the work yourself aswel

tints are gay imo
but i really like what youve done with it, sits really well on the S wheels, have you considerd doing them in white? like how the R wheels were
undecided on weather i prefer the white console as opposed to the black, both look great
oh and tinted headlights on a wicked red saxo are a must, looks good
as said, good work mate

Cheers for the info, will prob go for the ph3 and get it remapped tbh.

I like the tints, ive not had a car without them. Each to their own 
I did think about spraying the S wheels, but ive seen lots of them around. And from going from white ones back to standard colour i think i prefer the standard look.

fair play mate, not saying they dont look nice as standard, in the pics they actually look a bit darker? just the light i assume
forgot to mention, engine bay looks tidy too!
