Two days ago, the driveshaft went.

Saxo-Mikey · 6th March 2010, 08:32

Saxo-Mikey · 7th March 2010, 12:46

looks good mate, not to sure about the spoiler though. but everyone has there own views

Jordy6969 · 7th March 2010, 12:53

Don't really like the spoiler on it to be honest, but not a hard job to replace it, did the driveshaft just go?

Saxo-Mikey · 7th March 2010, 13:03

ah ok. yeah, the driveshaft did just go. was £110 for the driveshaft and £80 to get someone to remove 2 seized screws. was an expensive job.

when i put the origional/standard spoiler on, it didnt seem to look quite right so ive just left the dimma on. haha!

Jordy6969 · 7th March 2010, 13:14

that does sound like a rather expensive job but I bet it feels good to have a new one on! Did you fit it wrong then?

Saxo-Mikey · 7th March 2010, 21:03

nah, it was just that the allan key slot had rounded off on one so had to be removed by air gun. took no time at all.

haha! yeah, saw you too. gave you a quick wave. car will look different now! got rid of the vtr's today as they seemed to ALL have slow releasing air. Some of the pressures which were ment to be at 2.5 were at 1.6 and 1.8. not good. Back to the OZ Hydra's (15") again for the mean while but looking at some TD and some OZ WRC. will post pics up tonight or later tommorow. Also got the interiour of the 2 fan covers and the front speaker covers sprayed silver. Got some down at the Scrappy for free! was really happy. will get pics up of all the recent mods tommorow hopefully!

Nice one man! What scrappy did you go to? There's a decent one outside Huntly that you can rake around in

Saxo-Mikey · 8th March 2010, 19:26

i went to the one in dainstone. there was a new saxo in there which wasnt there last week and already, most parts have been taken..... :/ didnt have standard door speakers but looked just as bad as the standards so left them. take me to the one up in huntly some time? never been to that one. ive been to the one in kemnay and overton is also really good.
