Yea dude. Basically the plan is to keep her forever lol. Hopefully get a VTS engine in her within the next couple of years, some leather and some other goodies. But im not going to say any of that is definetely happening as it all depends on money. But i've got lots of plans in my head as to what i'd like to happen.

Always been my philosophy mate Tbh, the Sax needs some major attention, not mechanically or anything... but i havent made any modifications in a good few month and i feel i ought to crack on with her. I've always had plans for the interior and i've now got a rough idea of what i'm going to do

Plans are mainly for the interior at the minute dude.. but im not saying too much as i dont want to say all this stuff is happening and then it dosent due to funds lol. I probably was parked in Matlock, opposite skate park? Me and my mate went riding trials bikes

Not really any problems dude. But they've now built speed humps outside work and it was getting a pain in the arse. The front splitter still catches, but it's rubber so it can take it

TBH dude. I'd say the height mine is now, is perfect. It handles decent, looks better i reckon and my mate who i went Matlock with as mentioned above was pleasently suprised at how comfortable it is.

Sounds good to me dude. I've seen some full kits sit lower than mine too. A lad (forgot his name, met him at a SaxP/106owners meet), had a white VTS, 60mm springs with Spax shocks and it sat around 10mm lower than mine, which is ideally how i'd like mine but i'm happy with how it is for now.

EDIT: Just noticed, they have new designs now, but it's pretty much the same kit.

Right lads! So, i've recently got back into riding trials. But as i've got the cage i've never been able to put the back seats down meaning i had to put the Monty on a cloth on the back seat. My original plans were to have leather, but i dont really fancy putting the Monty on leather!
So i've thought about taking the showcage out and putting leather in. And then about stripping it and leaving the cage in (i know it's a showcage, but im ignoring that for now) and having fixed buckets.
Still unsure, but as a test i stripped the back out (not completely, i know) yesterday just to see how i cope for the next couple of weeks. So time will tell how i decide to go.
Anyway, some pics:

+1 on the leathers. 100% mate, they would suit your car down to a tee.
