today fitted the janspeed 4-2-1 mani with the sports cat. don't even go there had so much fucking trouble but is finally on. not very good fitment at all and not the best service from kam racing. but anyway it is finally on!
good with the k&n panel filter i guess. a tiny bit louder a tiny bit more responsive but through the gears seems to pull alot better thanks to more torque - but in terms of bhp probably very little because of the sports cat restricting but couldn't be assed with even more hassle.

here are the best pics i could do. has the original heatshield back on untill heat wrap arrives

and here is a photo of my 1000w jbl sub and amp

tomorrow i am changing the oil again in time for the brighton sax-p meet thursday because place where i get stuff at trade price muck every order as they are cowboys and gave me the wrong sized washer for the sump plug so i shall have to change the oil again as it's leaking with the old one suprise suprise

I got some made with the citroen logo with saxo underneath it, with any slogan on bottom of the plate(If any)in any colour you like,from demon plates..put it in google and itll come up,,i think with a fotting kit it came upto £35 or so,,and then a bit for delivery iirc, and they came within 2 days of me ordering them

lukeyyyyyyy21 · 10th September 2009, 22:20

jamie i have a few plans like get the centre part from the downpipe to the where the backbox is and lower on black vtr alloys but going to be a struggle as i'm putting all my money towards the insurance which is due in 7 weeks so....

Yesterday with the help of a friend tinted my front lights with 'Ford Panther Black Pearlescent paint'.

Also installed blue inteior & boot blue lights.

And stripped her out. Feels a lot quicker now.

here's a photo after i just washed her

after a pair of smoked rear jewels next got bored of the mk1 rear lights.

Before this though was miss-firing bad on the way to the mot last month. Started to do it more oftern and run on 3 clyinders. so....fit new spark plugs. That didn't solve it. Got a new coil pack and I think it's fixed. Trying to keep on top of a french car is hard lol.

here's a cool picture dave took down in brighton on monday
