Quaife diff in 1.4 xsi box - from aly (cheers matey!)

Other bits include alloy crank and alternator pulleys, replaced wishbones and clutch.

Start up is stupidly quick, it revs stupidly quick and it feels loads more keener in general. That diff is mad though. Took it on a 350 mile 'test drive' last night, about 340 miles in I thought I'd just push it a bit on the roundabout, bloody hell it just grips! Transforms the car.

Sorry for the epic bump.

No problem Adz, I would love a run out in this bet it goes well with the diff

It's still going strong...! 143k miles on it too

Sup everyone.

Small update. I took it off the road a little over four years ago and kind of forgot about it tbh.

Anyway, it went through its MOT last week ,one advisory which honestly was shock given its:
1) old as hell
2) left to rot in a garage for four years
3) and well, it's french.

Anyway, great to have it back on the road and receiving dirty looks from passers-by

Edit: can't remember for the life of me how to upload pics

It's real. Just took it from a distance so all the imperfections don't show up

Get it back in the garage before Craig buys it as an investment!

haha! What are they worth these days?

I checked a few years ago and they were selling for about £300 (which is about the same cost as the tax for a year)

EDIT: ermmm bloody hell. Autotrader they're in the £4k region!! Are these dreamers or are they really changing hands at those sorts of money?

Scott^p · 28th August 2019, 09:46

Craig will tell you they go for £500, buy it and then stick it in his ever growing collection of 911's and retire off of it in ten years.

In all seriousness no idea what they go for now for a good one

Barry123 · 27th September 2019, 12:28

Well it's enough to convince me to garage it again for another 4 years.

The saxo has been SORNd again.
See you in four years when I sell it to a collector for billions
