yeah.
wasnt on a saxo tho.
But the same can probs be said for many tho, as it was made poorly it was very restrictive, below 3k it was as good as standard, but above that it lost power all the was to redline.

Life time guarantee
When you go to them and say it has a life time guarantee, they will probably just say " you voided it by driving in the wet " or something
