Liking the headunit too

Well ive got the headunit, ive put it in, but just need to tidy her up
Hopefully ill get my ipod, digital and sat nav add on's for it this coming month


Other than that i dont know what else to do as im happy with my little brum brum for now

[MJ05LLY]

Todays cheeky update.
Ive been told that ive got a big delivery waiting for me at the gatehouse at work....

Finally got some of the wheels i wanted. OZ Supperlegra's wrapped in some of Toyo's finest rubber.

Maybe some cheeky pics tonight if i like them as much as i think i do on the Saxo. If not a for sale thread for the OZ wheels instead of the S wheels.

Well i havnt made an update for a while, but ive been pottering along with things

To cut a long story short i put the new wheels on the car, but for some strange reason i just didn't like how they were on the front, i loved the car on the rear but didnt like it on the front, so i sold the wheels and will just stick with the 'S' wheels for the time being

I gave the car another service, so some new oil, fresh plugs filter etc and i had the seals redone on the car, to stop an annoying little oil leak and now all is ok again

I treated myself to some 'Corbeau carrera' bucket seats and subframes which ive managed to fit one of in the car, my only problem is i feel abit too high in them, so im looking into how i can lower them ever so slightly so i feel like am in a better driving position again!

Audio wise, ive added a dab and ipod unit to my Pioneer headunit so im all set for the road and journeys

Plans.....

Get the engine bay steam cleaned + tidy it up!
Smoked angel headlights + new grill!

Will hopefully get some pics up later/tonite for all that i have been doing!

This is how the car sat with the OZ Wheels on






Sorry for poor quality of photos, i had lost my digi cam lead

[MJ05LLY]

Here is a picture of one of my seats, not got a picture of them in the car yet, i got them in excellent condition only one mark on them, which am happy about and i got them at a bargain price too




You can see the one mark in the last picture, which isnt too bad imo

[MJ05LLY]

More random pictures:


My bargain headunit



Early stages of having my head whipped off to have cam seals done so no more annoying little leaks




The poor bay needs a really good clean up, and she will get the one she deserves! Eventually

I think its due to me having a lot of stuff in the boot that made the car look uneven more. But for some reason i just didn't like the wheels on the front of the car.

I love the buckets! I like them so much, and for less than £100 i was very happy!

You will have to let me know when your planning to do that photo shoot, if am free ill pop along for a few cheeky pics with you all bud

[Juggyluggs]

[Juggyluggs]

No its just a standard grill, but sprayed black with the mesh behind. Still keeping the chevrons too, will see how it looks and see if any minor adjustments need making!

Whats happening with yours next weekend?

[MJ05LLY]

Another day another parcel. Forgot i had bought these tbh



Some fresh rubber for the read. Invested in some Yokohama a539s

[Juggyluggs]

im sorting out my grill as its falling to bits needs reglueing and spraying as its gone greyish thinking off gloss black for the outer bit and then red for the inner bit and then spraying my wheel bolts to give some extra depth to the alloys

[ldavies]

Saw this car in the flesh tonight, looks really nice, and the height of it lowered makes me want to get mine done this min lol.

Heres a pic of my old grill mate for you to check how yours will look if your unsure about the chevrons.

Meshed grill with chevrons sprayed black




Meshed grill with no chevrons



Hope this helps.
PS thanks for the haynes manual buddy
