My Saxo Project Thread

[AlexR]

Now spread

Listening to the kevin & perry soundtrack, it rocks.

All i wanna do is do it, big girl, big girl

[pjm300]

haha awesome film

noticed you thanked the thread on ssc

can i have a jam sandwich mrs patterson?

[Steve]

i dont know what tyres to stick on my vts wheels thats why i asked lol

[AlexR]

I wouldn't bother with these if it's for mainly road use, depends how many miles you do i guess. I will only do maybe a few thousand miles a year on road if that. If you have two sets of wheels then it's all gravy though, wang them on

Too right pauline I fell asleep part way through it, got the dvd anyway though. Damn 6am wake ups

Must go and attend my curry before it burns

[pjm300]

if it dont burn now, it will burn on the way out

[Georgel]

Nice read Alice, good to see your still alive as well!

[pjm300]

georginaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[AlexR]

Gina G! How's your project going?

Gonna do a big update soon, as far as i can think it's actually ready to do track days, i just need to tidy some bits up.

[crossie]

Alex what size bolts did you use in the rear beam and do you have a photo guide on taking it to bits??

mine is going to get done soon!

[AlexR]

Yes ed, there is a guide to rear beam rebuild on ssc guides section that i did.

And the bolts are: M8 25mm long for arb and 20mm long for torsion bars. they are stainless high tensile(12.9) so they don't rust in or snap, and are fuck loads easier to undo in future. The damn offset washers from citroen were £5 alone

[Georgel]

My project is slow and eating up all my money and more. Are you ever going to do some packs of these bolts or what?

Hello Paul.

[AlexR]

George i've sold about 20 packs of bolts. Just tell me what you want, in fact i can just send you a few packs of hundreds of bolts and you can just replace all of the ones you can find if you want?

[Georgel]

LOL! I must have asked you 3 times on SSC then, you just up'd and left?

Anyway, your offer sounds fantastic. Where do we go from here?

[Era]

the vts wheels look better...is this going to be at a certain south wales track event in september?

[AlexR]

Pm'd george.

Josephine, where have you been mate? I don't think i'll be there unfortunately, we'll see though. Will be at the ring a few times, and brands hatch if you wanna join us

[Rogz]

[AlexR]

My mother would be proud!





The remaining wiring is much nearer when re-routed too.



Interior looks neater, far less wires inside the dash too. Although my clocks are being tempramental now, bastards, will obviously tidy up the remaining wires when i get a chance



GTi6 Brakes are fitted, just waiting on M1155s(fucking APC are useless), and struts are awaiting grp A dampers and custom springs etc.

[Georgel]

Grp A tarmac or gravel dampers?

[AlexR]

Can't decide at the moment, gonna order some tomorrow, and some suitable springage too. Ordered some grpN rear dampers too!


baffled sump kit from france is 250 euros plus postage, looks like gmc must be cheapest. i wonder what comes in the kit from france as opposed to the gmc kit though, hmm.
