Talking 200Bhp Throttle bodied VTS - Now in the (UN)capable hands of Pauly Dixon!!

Some of you may have seen this on ssc but I thought i'd post a thread up here as there are some nice Saxo's starting to appear on here - i'm impressed!
Anyway here's how the story goes......

Right I thought i'd get on and do a car blog as i keep posting pics but never keep it 'flowing' so to speak. I'm going to keep this thread updated with all the progress on my car, and also how my throttle bodied engine is coming along.

My Current Spec is as follows:


2003 Black Citroen Saxo VTR

Grp N top mounts

To start this thread anyway, I got some new wheels and new steering wheel the other week so here are some pics:




























QEP lightened flywheel:



And one of the 'incoming' engine:






And here's my polished altenator-finished it yesterday (all my own work) :grin:




and today I fitted my new carbon wing mirror covers:

Right, I fitted my carbon mirror covers today-here is a quick guide of fitting, and also some snaps of the finished article. They do look VERY cool in the flesh-and they are also lighter than the plastic ones-great stuff! :grin:

Here's how they look out of the box:



Take the old cover off and clean the area with an alcohol solution of some sort:



Apply some silicon to the area ready to stick them on:



I used some masking tape to keep them in place-and firmly pressed on:



Remove tape then buff: :grin:



All done:



And the other side:



Not bad for £30 or thereabouts I think. :clap:

More to come soon!! :grin:
