The Stigs Progress Thread

Well if you're planning on getting another car there is not much point in modding your current Saxo because it'll just be waste of money.

I would suggest you have a look at the Peugeot 306 1.8, for your budget you can get a decent MK3 with low miles and they're insurance group 6 so it'll be cheaper than a VTR.

If want to go to cruises there is usually one next to Jesmond dene under the bridge

I don't think I'll be getting a car any time soon tbh cos I'm a full time student at college and currently don't have a job so can't afford it

And I'm 19

heres a pic of my old westcoast and my bros furio. in my opinion they make good first cars whilst insurance is a killer

That's pics ace....

[VTR_Craig]

Did you prep the surface before you sprayed all the parts?

looks like you just covered them in paint.

Car looks nice mate.

Headrests are on the wrong way round

other one is taken out but if i took the air box out my filter would be facing down at the back of the engine so i thought i would get better airflow that way

[saxokid100]

What body mods you got in mined bud??...

[_THE_STIG_]

i think im just going to leave it and get a vtr in oct, am in 2 minds

[Saxo_Scott]

the inside is tidy mate

why didnt you sand down the rocker cover before you sprayed it

[_THE_STIG_]

new pics



little bump on a field

[_THE_STIG_]

my pal gave me a new little badge a few days ago lol



but i think i have a leak in my manifold and a leak on my breaks





also why does my rocker cover keep bubbling up? and how do i take it off and sand it down to respray it?



and do i need this or can i take it off get rid of the air box and just have the filter?





and what could be the problem with my bonnet?? its not down properly on the passenger side?



thanks rep for any ansers give
