do you not think if there were camber shims available a lot more people would have them on there car mate its a case of you physically cannot shim a 106/saxo/306/205 ect ect the rear beam doesnt accomodate it

there are very very expensive ways to do it like but there pointless on a road car and even a lot of competitive cars deem it not worth the expense and just fit coilover struts on the back

you tryin to be a twat coz if you are do one and by the way there are saxos with camber look it up, and youve just contridicted yourself coz you sed 'if you could get them more people would have them' then sed 'there pointless on road cars and even comp cars think its not worth it' now if you are gonna start getting arsey then don't go writing on here without looking at everything and noting it in a friendly way at least

[P-Courty]

look am not tryin to be a d*ck meself but say things in a decent user friendly way not in a way were your trying to make people look like one publically

[blackphoenix]

well i love what youve done with it mate love the angel eyes think i might get them aswell, so jelous though cause mines is really old and has a three stud wheels!!!!! haha but yeh good job man

[Harv]

I'm sure Alex is right you know, you can't change the camber on a car with torsion bars. So any saxo's, 106's, 306's etc. Well so I believe anyway..and after having a quick search it seems everyone else says you can't do it. Don't put a shim between the trailing arm and the drum though - its so dangerous!!! The only way I can see it happening is if you take the trailing arms off, get them machined so that you can press the stub pin in at an angle then rebuild the beam back up.

Its fine with VW's and clio's as they have independent suspension so shims can be used to alter the camber on the rear.

Nice wheels actually, would look better if your car didnt look like a fast and the furious reject, sorry man, SORT IT OUT!!!!!

Your car is shit...joke

[MiDnighTcLuB]

Fair play your doing something a bit different mate but...

You said it wasn't something that look like it just came out of halfords but out of 4 of the things you said.. 3 of them we're from halfords and one was painting the rocker cover..

i'm half expecting a 4" jap can next...

[Tom_Crx]

I think having your car compared to a tesco carrier bag says it all. Mate stop throwing your toys out the pram and don't let things get to you so much. If you like the car and are proud of it then that is all that matters.
As for rear camber, Bar a dodgy rear axle and or a shed loads of work and cash spent, i don't think it is possible.
Whats the new plans btw?

[timmythechef]

i personally dont like the mirrors and neon, and most prob if i had a good look, would proberly find other bits i dont like if i lookd hard enough, but there is a way to say it as well, not just saying its shit

Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Mama's going to buy you a mockingbird.

If that mockingbird won't sing,
Mama's going to buy you a diamond ring.

If that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's going to buy you a looking glass.

If that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's going to buy you a billy goat.

If that billy goat won't pull,
Mama's going to buy you a cart and bull.

If that cart and bull turn over,
Mama's going to buy you a dog named Rover.

If that dog named Rover won't grow,
Mama's going to buy you a normal Saxo.

If that Saxo makes you frown,
You'll still be the sweetest little boy in town

So hush little baby, don't you cry,
Daddy loves you and so do I.

[stormjojo1982]

just read through this. and i love this car fella, you've put some work into this car with some individual mods, my favourite has to be the usb cigarette lighter, would love to see a how to guide or something.
just ignore the bad comments be proud of what youve done so far.

[paulsupervts84]

it is different but i does look nice bud keep up the gud work

[CHIP]

Jeeeez, someone has an attitude lol. Alex didn't mean it nasty dude. He's only advising you on what is basically the truth.

[chris205]

Look, your car really doesnt give saxo owners much hope of changing the chav, big bodykit/neon light opinion of people

On here you will mostly find people like to either track slag or subtle mod there saxo, much respect for modifying a 1.1 with the flat arches, but I think, as well as many others you've took inspiration from elsewhere.

If it was mine, the following would be done....it is possible to save I'm sure

Full Colour code (blue instead of white)
Morrette Headlights
Please lose the neons or let me rip them out myself they're crap
Euro Wheels, a nice set of schmidt Th's would look awesome
Coilovers
Lots of smoothing....tailgate, shorter recess, smoothed back bumper with stealth exhaust
Get it very low ALL round......None of this arse end down bullshit most deem as low
Good interior, do the track look (good quality bucket seats, full weld in cage, Carpet the interior out and make it look like a quality job, no fancy colours just smart
MK2 REAR LIGHTS!!!!!
Dont start painting your interior plastics like dial surrounds, heater surrounds etc in silly colours, it generally looks pish unless done in Gloss black etc

Do it once, and do it right, yeah youve got the above out your system now, its time to move on, remove the tacky shit and start to get some respect for your hard work



We all work on our cars, there's very little cars on here that are 'cheque' book cars, we are all enthusiasts and all enjoy digging in and getting our hands dirty


Now stop with the long winded reply's as if we're all a big bunch of bullies, we've made no personal attacks, you will get the respect you crave when your car improves

Cheers

Maybe when funds allow get yourself a Vts lump dropped in there aswell

[MAXSTARR]

i love it mate. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
