lol whats this thread turnt into. tbh im not bothered that tonto beet me to vaning the saxo it was just an idea i was/might be doing and not because i have seen it on the polo as i thought of the idea befor i seen it at ists just because i thought it would look good on my car and be different.
90% of the things ive done on my car have been done befor i just like to bring all the ones i think are good together in one car to make it a one off
anyway back to the updates:
rear circuit breaker is in had to move some of the fuse across but some of thos will be removed soon as there not needed so boot will look a little more neat
sprayed my front brakes as the white started turning a nasty creamy colour as i sprayed them last year. you lot think there white enough? lol
have remade the interchangable port system as i broke the last one because i was in a rush to get to mod nats this one is being made out of 18mm mdf instead of 12mm and the ports will be fiberglassed in
finaly have got some of the panels done for the tunnel just need to finish off the main chamber and work out the porting

looking good liam. thought your calipers were pretty white when i saw them, but always good to give them a fresh coat.
Anything major going to be done by modified mania?

thanks mate did them properly this time and sanded them down so i got a smoother finish
nothing to major but will be a bit louder with the mdf roof and trying to sort out some of the rattles outside found out at low and loud that a winegum under the bonnet stops it rattling

yh **** sound proofing just jam winegums every where lol just dont let them get wet then dry in the sun as thay go realy hard and dont come off body panels well lol
i used a wire brush 1st time i did mine but using a sanding block gives a lot more flater surface

the tunnel is going to be safe man!
cant wait to see it when its done ... what you doing amp wise then? selling the 1201 or getting another to run the extra two?
how long you think its going to take to be complete then? dont make the same mistake of it not fitting out the front door!
notice much speed difference and fuel difference now its all out?
i bet it feels like the clappers?
