Updates, FCS prep recap.
Been a couple of months since I've updated the thread. Plan was to get the predator ECU mapped for the black saxo by Atspeed. Came into problems as the predator needed to be updated but the software I was using didn't register it so it still needs doing. Took it to Atspeed anyway to get the car checked over and turns out the cams were timed up properly and the cams seals were pretty good.
Turn out the throttle cable adjuster had been been screwed out the whole way so the throttle body was constantly opened what was making it run so poorly. Tightened it back up and now it runs much smoother. Still has a lumpy idle but thats more due to the PH3 cams than anything else. Still plan to get the predator sorted to get it running to its fullest but its much more reliable now.
So after that was sorted we started on making the black saxo look better in preparation for French car show. We did the following.
- Sorted the blowing exhaust. Fitted a silenced Magnex centre section found on Ebay for £20. No blows now but its quite quiet now.
- Painted the VTS alloys white.
- Fitted Angel eye headlights.
- Resprayed the wing mirrors and grill
- Red inserts in the fog lights
- Plastic guard behind the bumper painted red
- Door pillars wrapped matte black
- BMC CDA fitted with red silicone hoses
- OMP strut brace powder coated red
Haven't done much to the silver VTR fitted my carbon mirrors that I've had for a while and a better condition VT kit off of Jigs old saxo.
Heres a couple pics of the progress and some from FCS.
