Yer there was nothing major, main thing that put him off was a bit of rust on the chassis leg but its nothing serious. Like I say this is coming from the person that got the shell of his track car acid dipped and most of the underside powder coated lol

#22 5th February 2010, 21:33

Lol did he expect it to be like brand new? Not much you can do about things like that apart from do what he has done.

To add, my friend who works as a mechanic for VW has been under the car and everywhere and said there is none. Further to this i have now been out in the rain under the car, with an LED light and cant spot this rust.

Fair enough, sounds good mate

these look cracking in standard form, especially now that youve given the bay some attention, should serve you well as a good motor.

Thanks Wayne,

I used;

Snowfoam (obviously not with the pressure washer lol) just to break up the dirt a little then wiped off
Megs gold wash with Hot water
Engine degreeser (cheap shite but it works)
Autoglym Show shine
supagard paint sealant
autoglym metal polish
Wd40 in places to lube
Dried it all up

Think thats about it, oh and for the cam covers scouring pads and some material for sanding down paint for prepping cant remember its name though.

lol, when i first joind up on here everyone was from up north, forums hadnt taken off like they have nowdays lol

I personally looked in to a Gti and i found that..

You pay more for an older car with more miles..

Cars are the same really, same problems ect just pay more because it doesnt have that stigma that the saxo has..'chavy'

Thanks Jamie,

I've had it for some time now, i got it from German ebay as an import, i think you can get them on ebay UK but they are the price of a BMC, i would sooner this than a BMC but i did pay £77 for it BNIB with postage at the time from Germany.

Its original application was for my 206 Gti180 but im using it as a universal filter.

It was just to the bottom of the car held in place but now, its just behind the foglight, theres a whole where you can see the floor and ive put it on top of that so it doesn't collect the rubbish that might be kicked up but still sucks in the air from just above.

Thanks mate

Gti 180s ftw.

Insurance is gay though at grp17 and costs of parts are high so dont rape it too much.

If your modding it, do the usual breathing mods , eibach springs or proper suspension and then map it / even cam it and it will rape

Lol yep pretty much, however i do use products

Snow foam areas obviously not with a hose or lance lol just a bowl of water with some in and a sponge (only place il use one)

I use Megs gold class shampoo on paintwork ie slam pannel ect, then dry it and use polish lol

For black plastics i use Megs hot wheels, its a tire sealent but works wonders on black plastics

Anything like covers can be taken off and stuck in a bucket of hot water and scrubbed down/dried and refited.

Any dirt you see attack!

With metals that are covered in shite, use some sort of degreeser and a wire brush, clean as much off as possible and use Autosol to bring to a nice shine

Theres more in my head somewhere lol

Thats ok, you got a link to the picture of your kit?

I lead it down to near the fog but there is a spot where i can see daylight quite clearly so fixed it in to place tight where daylight was

The Kit sounds like a hoover constantly sucking in air.

I dont mind the questions dude

Hmm aparently the metal is good for heat shielding btw, Profile Automotive on the Focus ST scene use it and they get the best results with their CAIS.

Shows it in the pics in the listing btw, with that last peice of metal piping get a small cold airfeed pipe and exstend it towards the wheel arch, there is light somewhere around there have a butchers when your next in the bay, lots of cold air around there.

Looks like mine when I bought it in 2005. Got cleaned nearly every other day. Then someone wrote my bro's 172 off and he needed a car, and I just got a company car so I sold it to him in 2007. Three years on and he was getting shot for an Astra Coupe 1.8 in that rusty orange colour (WHY!?!). The condition of it now is allot different, theres dents and scratches all over it, the engine bay looks like someone didn't know where to put oil and just poured it all over it, and all the arches hanging on by a clip.

Seeing your Saxo like that has given me the boost to get it sorted. It looks fantastic! Good to see somone putting their all into their car!

Thanks for the boost too!

Update

My new spot pads ect came today so i set about polishing my rockers myself as i had a piss take of an oil leak due to the cock on egay who sent me 'polished up rockers' well they arrived slightly polished up but had previously been painted red and the seal had a tiny split, niave me thought rubber expands when heated and thought it was ok to fit since the guy said they were fine in listing.

Well it pretty much has ruined the undernieth of the car (was just metal before) now its all black my mani has scaring from the oil which burnt as it hit it

Anyway, took a little while but results below [note engine bay is full of dust as i do motorway miles will be mint for The fast show for those who are going]

But hey at least i have the satisfication of knowing i am responsible for these ones

Also got new tires to go on friday with the lowering.

HDR styles...

To keep clean, yes and no.

If you give it a proper clean/polish/wax/seal then all you will need to do to keep on top of it is use QD and a microfibre polishing cloth to remove dust, obviously hardcore stuff will need a wash though.

Looking really clean again lol, i've just got a spax 40mm kit as well, how much will you be going down at the back? And just wondering what's the best thing to polish up the cam covers? Just degrease them and then with autosol or something?

Cheers!

Thanks mate,

To polish them up and get a decent result your going to need a machine polisher/buffer tbh

I started out with just cleaning them up as much as possible with a degreaser, sanding them down to get a smooth finish, polishing them up with autosol but its just not going to happen lol..

So i used a bench and a wheel to get as much shite off as possible, sanded them down further and used a 4" spot pad on my g220 laced in autosol, they are still not how i want them tbh

Front cover is great but there are lots of marks in the metal on the second cover so il be fine sanding that down further and polishing up with the g220 again.

How much will you be lowering the rear by? same as the front or lower?

Same car really, forget the stigma attatched to Sax0s.

You will get a much better VTS for 2k then you would a GTI + the GTI will be older, more miles ect.

No not bad just usually alloy wheels get balanced with stick on weights (or at least thats how we do them at work)

Just looks cleaner because you cant see them, and on a car that looks as good as yours it just supprised me that they had been balanced in that way.

I wish id had the drive to clean mine in this weather! Car looks very good.

Whats in place of your glove box?

Thanks mate yeh it pulls very well thanks

Hopefully the alloys will be with me tomorrow! Found out today that il be saving some good weight from these although i must say il save weight where possible but im not on a massive weight saving spree lol

Std VTS alloys weight = 8.6kg per alloy -
15" Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2's weight = 6.1kg -
15" Speedlines although they look better are heavier at 7.4kg per alloy

So per set the VTS alloys weight = 34.4kg
Per set of Team Dynamics weight = 24.4kg
Per Set of Speedline Turni weight = 29.6kg

10kg savings between my choice and the originals & 5.2kgs between the Team D's and Turnis regardless to if they look a little better

So anyway heres a quick run through of how i will be protecting them this time round (had some previously and they were murder to keep)

The Dodo way of course

Method will be;

Wash in Dodo Juice Supernatural Shampoo
Dodo Juice Time To Dry will then be applied
Dry them
Dodo Juice Lime Pirme to remove any oils / contaminants ect
Dodo Juice Born Slippy QD' them
Dodo Juice Red Mist will be applied
3x Dodo Juice Light fantastic Wax will be applied

Leave them for 24 Hrs

Then a final Seal with Dodo Juice Red Mist.

Why am i protecting them? Protecting them does exactly what it says on the tin. It will help decrease the build up of tar/break dust and general road crap and keep a good smooth easy to clean finish

Pics will be up soon and il fit these within a month

Carbon stuff still hasn't arrived so my girlfriend complained as they were a birthday present and i had nothing from her for my birthday and they are chucking in a CF petrol cover in free of charge

Team D's are the way forth!

have you machine polished the car yet? to get rid of swirls? CF petrol cover FTW

how much were your Team Dynamics, if you don't mind me asking

not going to get white ones though, going to get anthracite or satin black me thinks

No not been machin'd haven't had the time it's had polish applied via machine but at speed 1 just because i was too lazy to apply by hand, ideally though needs a proper going over as it does have swirls and the depth of the relections have room for improvement.

Anthracite ones dont look right from what i have seen so far like its a different anthracite to what im used to almost like it has a blue tinge to it or something. Id go black

Looks good mate, was the 'Pugsport' a Scorpion too?

I need more info as i wanted a Supersprint but that also looks good.

It will be down to weight in the end because they look very similar and are around the same moneys.

Machined my bonnet today, im detailing my car in sections as i dont have much time on my hands atm.

Very impressed with the Menzerna range i have to say

Bonnet is virtually swirl free

Method

I washed my bonnet using warm water & Dodo Juice Supernatural Shampoo,
Clayed it with Dodo Juice Born Slippy & CYC yellow clay,
washed it again with Dodo Juice Supernatural, then dryed using my super drying towel.

Then on to Menzerna polishes 85RD ect and then it got Dodo Juice Light Fantastic applied and tomorrow i will seal it with Dodo Juice Red Mist.

Pics

Thanks Jim, atm i dont really have much time thats why im doing this in slices or id say yes for sure, Wayne has alot more experience than me he may be a better bet as i just do this because i want my car to be minty rather than for a living so he will be more pro.

Hmm get some closeup pics of your paintwork on a thread, did they use a depth guage because from what ive seen your car looks pretty sweet, swirls can be got out but if the paint is thin from previous machining that could pose a problem?

Hi guys just wondered what would be the best catback to go for?

I think i have got it down between the Super-sprint from KAM racing + "Saxsport" someone posted up earlier in the thread for me.

I have roughly £250 id spend, no ghey exhaust tips.

Id want it as light as possible + with maximum gains for price oh and it has to sound raspy like its on r0idz!

So which one or another?

Saxsport link

Supersprint link

Im sort of thinking Saxsport as its basically the Pugsport which was the muts nuts but for a spaxo!

Forgot to mention its to be paired with my Piper 4-1 & a Cais induction kit

Looking foreward to the saxport As for the machine polishing the reason was because it would show up the deeper scratches that cant be polised out. Apparently. The bonnet is in a particulary bad state. Like you said i will get some pics tomorrow and post them up.

Sounds good, and expensive

In my opinion I wouldn't get morrettes as it would ruin the ''fresh'' look of the car.

I was going to get one for the VTR of mine but after watching a video of it, it kind of put me off, i think they hit their peak when on a VTS as they have more power and torque so it will sound a stack better.

Exactly the same boat as me, but can't justify spending the 30 odd quid extra for the Kam system.

I actually got it from ebay but from them as the link on their site for buying doesn't work lol

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SCORPION-SAXSP...item35a62e8842

Although they have just upped the price from 235 - 250 to include p&p but state it's free which looks a tad gay, may aswell just say look we are charging for p&p now.

Hmm i wouldn't bother mate, i prefer this one than the supersprint myself but i wouldn't change if i had one as it would be a waste of money lol

If you was on a standard system id defo go for the saxsport though

I paid £265 including P&p but they look in better nick than most ive seen for sale, i thought about hi-specs but they are too expensive new and rare second hand.

These will more than do the job of stopping a 925kg Saxo (took some weight off for wheels lol) If they can stop a 1458kg 3.0 V6!

Dont settle saveeee your car deserves some nice brakes!

Update.

As we know yesterday i cleaned my car & had the exhaust adjusted so it sits alot better.

My car may appear on stilts atm as the suspension is still adjusting after being in the air!

Next on the agenda is refurbing my brakes.

Seals and everything look fine my mate looked at them and he was a mechanic for Vdub so i trust him, yesterday i bought a paint caliper painting kit from Halfrauds lewl & some Brembo black caliper stickers!

Im pleased to announce they are going yellow with black brembo stickers which wont look out of place as i have yellow S stickers lol.

Ps i have just noticed i need to redo the inside of my wheels already!

Pics

Paint kit

Cars looking good Jamie...our spec list/plans are very similar though, only variation is brands lol

@ newqs I'd recommend a tin and brush on calipers, I started mine with rattle cans and used a full 400ml but have achieved more with 2 thin coats applied by brush (works out about 20ml a coat) and if you use hammerite smooth it self levels so you don't have to worry about brushstrokes as they disappear before your eyes

The kit i use just smoothed itself out it's wierd but at first i started over applying because i thought i was going to be left with the strokes but then i noticed it just evened out it's wierd lol

I went all over the calipers, but did a shiter job on the back as no one see's it lol

You mean when it's in correct position, how far the caliper sticks out from the disc when the disc finishes?

The distance between the two white blobs?

Jamie are the door pillars just a sheet of vinyl CF or a thin piece of CF?

Need to hide some dodgy paint on my passenger door and these should be ideal as they look slightly longer than the OEM ones?

Mirror caps look awesome too...may have to buy myself some carbon ready for FCS next year

Made some progress today, decided to try my std cold airfeed trumpet in that location directed straight to my filter and it's official i have been suffocating my car, throttle responce is much improved, (airfeed now under slam pannel , air passes through bumper directly in to it) before it was feeding from the wheel arch which me being a div thought was good but how could air be sucked through the feed lol

Also cleaned the sump ect with GUNK as when i fitted my old polished rockers i sprung a leak and oil pissed everywhere..

I should be doing my coursework

Lol thanks i was cruising egay as you do and found a whole kit for under £10 so in a moment of madness i hit buy it now lol pricey for what they are but they will make a visual difference i suspect lol

Heres my cold airfeed pics, it's the trumpet attached to the slam panel, the scoop goes underneath as std right behind the grill.

looking good.

why not just have the stainless feed connect to the slam panel then?

seems a long way round for the air to go? surely it would be better being forced straight into the filter from the front of the car?

This just arrived

Streamline Carbon Petrol filler cap, i trial fitted it to see how it will look but im unsure tbh

Not a fan personally... I think carbon should be a very minimal thing too personally. Lot's of carbon is good but you have to be careful where and how you use it. Otherwise it looks shit.

I hear what your saying dude, im still unsure on it as above.

Thats the last CF thing for exterior, i asked if SC could make me a set of Chevrons, citroen & saxo badge set but they said it would not be cost effective

Other than that possibly when i get the JP4 covers a CF coilpack cover for them hmm

Im not to sure about them. I think painted badges look a bit tacky on some cars, where your car is so clean and subtle i think it spoils it slightly. Thats what i think anyway lol.

In regards to missing it, id say buy another as a project on the side but for the money it would cost you could soup' the 32 up and make it a monster for the moneys!

Nice one mate!

172 met 1.1 power on the way home...beat me initially - i was a few car lengths away from slow moving traffic so no surprise really as they had a clear carriage way...but a tactical lane change beofre the next roundabout and a slow moving lorry and some traffic meant i had the better of them for 8 miles until they turned off!

Wish i had then S though would of been curtains from the off! Esspecially if i had bodies

Braces looks good too! Make me want to fit mine...

Looked good at fcs matey, wanted to find you so you could 'pop the hood'.

Anyways looked smart but you missed some dirt on the rear quartre i was shocked lol.

Can i ask i read your spec sheet at the show but i don't understand where the pipe for the induction kit goes?

Thanks mate, Unsure how you missed the bonnet open it was open til 4 before i got the car ready to leave & the spec sheet was inside the car when the bonnet was down lol

The Pipe leads to where the headlight is and stops,and i have the original cold air feed leading right under it, some say it would be easier to just take that pipe off and run the std cold airfeed in to it like a BMC but i think it looks prettier and performs well anyway.

The dirt on the rear quater i do remember looked like someone wiped their dirty mits down the car as it was in a finger shape and greasy (i quick detailed the whole car twice that morning) Although i blaimed it on Raz trying to sabbatage my car at the time lol

Lol @ the dirt, maybe your bonnet was open then, saw so many cars that day but looking @ your recent under bonnet pictures it doesn't look like any i saw. Swear the spec sheet was on the dashoard when i read it maybe i had to much to drink the night before.

Btw hope you don't mind but i had to have a feel of the carbon on the door it was clean don't worry. Just thought it looked really awesome.

When mine was stripped i didnt think the noise was to bad until i put the interior in again. Was so loud and you could hear all the nasty noises lol. Will all be coming out again tomorrow though when i fit the corbeau sprint seat Going to make a lightweight false floor to neaten things up a bit.

Thanks mate, yeh plans are leather recliners of some description and maybe GTi rear bench, not feeling Gti leathers though so wont be going for those for the front lol

Update, heres my first attempt to clean the car since FCS, got a little mucky lol

Pics!

Rinsed' as you can see Dodo Juice is still very much in affect and it's still beading well.

Washed, rinsed and dry'd and the sun came out for a while...

Don't think il leave it as long next time lol wheels were a bitch to clean, i missed a tiny bit in the second from last pic but ive since cleaned it lol!

Comments welcome

Hi mate, i use a special attatchment to my pressure washer called a 'snow foam lance' and special detergant called 'snow foam' besically it's shampoo which you spray on thick and it loosens the dirt so when you rinse it off and start your 2 bucket method it helps to prevent you creating swirls on your paint

Hi I still have it but i'm unsure how long i'm keeping it, the project is definitely over no more updates to come now. I think it will either go late this year or early next year if i sell it.

I'm at uni and still pissing around with cars makes no sense and it's taken something non car related to make me realise there is so much more to life.

Thanks for the comment

Might aswell make an announcement - my last update

This project is over. I have decided to put my all in to university.

Not looking to be ASW, I hope you enjoy'ed the thread, That is all

Shame you couldn't carry on with it Jamie, such a mint example and nice plans, but education takes proiority, like many that's why my progress has all but stopped

Still if you do sell you know where the Brembo's can go...on a fellow icelandic

how many miles has this done??? as in that FCS entrance pic and a couple of others your rear beam looks like its starting to camber quite alot?
how much u looking for selling for when the time comes? i maybe tempted back to a saxo if the price is right and i could follow-up the work you couldnt get done as i dont have to go far to work so if the car was out of commision while work was undertaken it would be all good.

It's done 57k 2003-03, i'd be looking for 3.5k at the time as is, As 90% of the stuff is way less than a year old and it's a ruddy good example if i do say so myself

worse comes to worse i'd split but i'm not selling it just yet. Ze' Spec can be found on the index page of my thread, i bought the car standard back in Feb. In regards to the rear beam it doesn't look that bad in real life i've certainly not noticed it only by looking at that Fcs pic do i notice, car shouldn't need anything done

Yellow cage and icelandic = WIN

Lol no jenveys too expensive! I'd love to do it but it would be wasted the car wouldn't be used properly. My local halfrauds are always sold out when I want them bulbs i might get some of ebay or something though

Theres one in the for sale section now Jamie (am i not hleping?

)

Had a look at the JP4's tonight, thinking of smoothing the badge recess out then spraying the coilpack cover yellow, and get a few yellow stickers for the OE black cam covers...quite tempting lol

So..what if I said, it wasn't all over?

I'm probably going to regret this one day but meh lol

My project is semi back on. It wont be quick progress like before though.

I was browsing through here the other day looking for a cheap turbo or ITB'd Paxo, And in particular I was looking at Craigs old 180', I thought about asking the guy who owned it for a swap for my car with some cash his way, but then realised that it made no sense and it would only be because of the turbo otherwise my car is in better overall condition with alot less milleage (no offence intended btw, it's a nice car, but as with any car time takes it's toll), so anyway it would have made sense just to turbo my car... which I wont do because that's just silly money... I was looking at Minis again (have been for a while) but it just doesnt make sense for me to buy one so...

In the end after looking through lots of Saxos in general I realised, I would be stupid to sell mine after all the work and money I pumped in to it just for a turbo... and that I may aswell just keep this mint and add to it to keep me busy busy busy even though I have no spare time atm lol...

One thing i'm doing is, checking it's not already been cam'd. I believe it could already be cam'd so the covers are coming off very soon to look for markings on the cams, If it's not great theres even more fun to be had but it just seems a little too lively for what people estimate on here for 130-135 bhp... I know power to weight and all that but it's the general pick up and how it pulls suprises me.

So...

Plans over time

- Catcam 708's and some Vernier's , I know the standard ones are adjustable but meh
- OMP Suede Corsica wheel (deep dish)
- More carbon goodies
- Possibly jp4s
- OMP Dash dodger (not in a rush want it second hand and cheap) Because I dont want to die if I push it a little too hard lol
- Hubcentric Spacers want a wider stance which will be better for handling
- Drilled and grooved rear disks standard size and possibly a lick of paint for rear callipers
- 206 Gti 180 Gearknob
- Morrettes
- Maybe some buckets if some come up at a decent price, ideally OMP
- Uprated clutch

God give me strength!

Had a sneaky suspicion you wouldn't let this go

Once the JP4's are on they'll be no going back, they look mint!

And your not allowed morettes! (have no reason other than i want a set ), should be rolling on black pro race 1.2's shortly too...our cars are going to look like twins at FCS

Thanks dude, the only thing putting me off the lights is the fact you have to keep tinting them, why cant some bugger just make them properly in the first place lol!

If all goes to plan i'l be on the P stand this year, I'm usually with PerformanceTorque but, theres quite a few paxo's on there now and I originally didn't bother with Sax-p because my car wouldn't stand out. + that coupled with the fact people don't seem to be bothered by paxo's on there, it may aswell be somewhere it's appreciated abit more considering the time & money I chucked at it within 5 months of ownership lol

Just out of interest are there any cages that you can keep the rear seats in?

I need to keep my rear seats because the girlfriend has a 2 seater and her sis comes up to stay with us but want a safety cage (dont fancy dying atm) lol

And to be even more picky i'd want it to be a dash dodger lol

Whatever I do I have to keep the rears because the g/fs sister visits us at uni and needs collecting being 12 and dropping home to London lol

Unfortunately the seats are going to have to wait as I have an £80 phone bill that I wasn't expecting... gutted

Today shes getting the following done; shes @ 60k now

Cambelt & Water pump change
Oil & oil filter change
Fuel filter change

Plugs don't need doing as they are the Denso Irridiums like 5 months old and she fires up like a beau lol

I attempted to fit my JP4's the other day too all was well piss easy obviously until it came to connecting the pipes,from the 206 xsi jobby... no fit... lol too long and as it was cold the plastic became brittle as I tried to re route or flex it and it snapped in two places so for now the J4's remain... until I find a C2 oil return pipe / cam cover breather pipe oh and a messy oil'y bay:@

On the plus, I can't wait to pick up my stuff on wednesday.

Also ordering a new Raceland SS mani soon as mine looks a little tatty, I thought it was fubard the other night as I have blowing but it seems to be the gasket, so i'l be able to sell the old mani off lol.

Yeh I want some recliners now, but can't afford them especially after the stuff i'm having done today & the discraceful phone bill I accumulated lol, The ones I want CHIP is selling in the for sale section, Cabreau (cant spell) Carrearas in the black and the gti rear bench seems a good shout

In regards to tracking it, I really want to track it, but like you said it's a little too tidy to track

I kinda want something to happen to give me the excuse too but in the same breath I would be gutted lol

I have been told they will fit but it will be tight so I have a foam sticky pad quite thick to rest the brace on, if they don't get on well then the Jp4's and CF coilpack will be for sale because the brace defo stiffens up the front end and I like how the bay looks now tbh lol

Next is a new raceland SS mani

ps breather pipes for jp4's can be got cheaply from citroen really

Thanks mate,

I'm unsure about removing it tbh, may do one day lol, aparently the breather pipe is £35 from citroen so will keep an eye out for a second hand hobby me thinks lol

Couple of day time pics of the 2 covers fitted, not got round to the rest yet, but I think I may sell the Jp4's and CF coilpack cover as I actually prefer the look of my polished covers on tbh

Had the Jp4's on minus the CF coilpack cover and thought it didn't suite my car hmmm

I'm gussing thats a reflection on the ecu cover in the pic because it's not sealed on iirc lol, and as you will notice my mani looks a state so a shinny new raceland SS one will be on order before the show season commences lol

That looks so smart! +1 on keeping the J4s, looks so fresh. Ive got a raceland manifold and they loose their shine so quickly, unless you polish them every day that it

Right heres a picture of the cam covers together...

JP4's with the CF coilpack covers, as you can see there is slight grazing to the coilpack cover which is why I have decided to sell them. It's not that bad but I'd prefer 100% mint these are about 97% I'd say lol

&

Without the CF

Hate them without the CF so they are up for sale now

Looks very good Jamie i prefer the J4 polished ones to think they suit the bay more to JP4's, i prefer J4's to thats why i sold mine, question though why don't you just take the manifold off and polish it with wire wool? as i presume it's a Piper Manifold which is much better quality than Raceland.

I heard they are prone to cracking after a few years of use when wrapped so unsure about it, and I prefer the stainless look, surely can't make enough of a difference to performance for the extra £50 or so it would cost?

Thanks Wayne, I agree with the J4's looking better in the spaxo, I haven't got the time for the mani tbh, and it's got rust/blistering from a cam cover seal fail, so i'd sooner just buy a shinny new one, sell this one on because theres nothing wrong with it bar looks and a dent in the bottom lol

Much prefer the shiney J4's over the JP4's tbh. As for the mani, seems a waste buying a new one just for the shine. If your going to buy a new one, save that slight bit more and get a Supersprint one They are awesome

Thats fair enough on the mani bud

shiny is better

I would not worry about heatwrap unless you have problems with ancillaries in the enginebay. Heatwrap will keep more heat in the exhaust system. It will change the pulse tuning but whether its beneficial or not is debatable and would need a rolling road to find out results. Not having it allows the manifold to expand and contract naturally as it heats and cools, hope that heps

as mums Piper 4-1 Manifold for her VTR 1.6 8v performs faultless without heatwrap and heatwrap is itchy stuff

J4's i just love as there original and can look nice painted or polished, JP4's you can only paint and not polish them

my J4'S just need painting properly and the right colour

as there brushed painted and wrong colour at the moment from bodge old bodyshops work i don't use no more

As for the 16v Supersprints, too pricey lol. £350ish iirc

Good idea that was one of my original plans back when I got the car but tbh I just don't like them enough, the only way they will make there way in to my bay is if my seals fail on the J4's

________________________

So guys I have realised the red stictching on my new OMP corsica doesn't really go with my interior and I like to think of myself as a perfectionist so I have decided to drop it for a new one...

There are 3 Wheels I currently like;

Considering this only because it's different, I have yellow 406 Brembos and it's a Icelandic 'grey' but more blue car lol

The SUPERLEGGERO which I love...

& this one that looks shite really... lol

Oh I really don't know James! I really like that blue wheel! And it wouldn't be common... not that the Superleggero is but it definitely is when compared to this.

I love the Superleggero normally colourful things like the blue one look tacky but something is telling me it's ok? Maybe it's because it's an OMP Corsica haha, think it would look much better in real life hmmm

Thanks for your opinon bud, need some more, i'm so undecided. But I feel i'm swaying towards the blue.. gulp lol

So my current one is now up for grabs...for those who only care for performance it's perfect.

I seriously maintain under the bonnet of that car so if it can be controlled by Autosol it will be done for sure, time will tell , it's going on, on monday and @ FCS it's still going to be shinning, probably a colour change because of gasses but it will be gleaming

Well todays the day of the fitting of the new shinny mani, quite excited tbh

Natually, expect a few pics tomorrow lol

She's also getting a new AUX BELT as the part wasn't available when doing Cam belt so a new one will be fitted today

Ordering a new Upper and lower strutbrace very soon!

Quick question to those in the know

What can be done about stiffening up the rear, I want the useless spare out but don't fancy the play in the rear and don't want to look for a custom rear strutbrace, is there anything out there apart from changing my suspension (currently spax adjustable)?

I heard the GTi rear arb is thicker, but not by much would the price of buying and fitting be worth the gain?

Anyone

The only real thing you could do it fit the gti rear arb or get thicker torsion bars but dont think your suspension would be upto it tbh. Some polyrace rear beam bushes should help abit though.

if you could find a s2 rallye arb they're 24mm and should tighten things up abit but i doubt you'd find one tbh, i found changing the rear bushes to powerflex items did help a little

Thanks guys, hmm i'l probably go for the powerflex bits then

Update!

Yesterday night the mani went on

Looks good, unsure if the cars any quicker, sometimes it really seems it and others it seems to have lost power, I think i'l put that down to the fact it's brand new and i'm concious to change.

My brand new anthracite OMP brace is on order with YBRacing so that will complete the bay for now

The Quaife gearknob went on als last night but my car generally is looking a state, so no pictures until it gets a proper wash, and interior clean (moved up to uni, and have been living out of car lol!)

Pics all 10 of them lol!

Bays looking sweet as ever Jamie

Still unconvinced about the manifold staying as it is but i'm ready to be proven wrong!

As for power gains i think the cold air feed needs a reroute...looks very pretty but the air does loop the loop before it even reaches the filter! Could you not flip the 90 before the filter and just use a tiny piece of cold air feed to the slam panel scoop? would help no end, or could you not live with losing some bling from the bay?

Lol we will see with the mani, already had it's second polish today haha

I see what you say about the airfeed but, it may come off depending on if the guy I asked about some morrettes gets back to me.I think he might be pissed I sold the other gear I bought off him or something, even though I made no profit from it, it just wasn't what I wanted in the end on my car... Or it could be down to his girlfriend being bad still, but I pm'd him and noticed he's been online so... that suggest hes not happy lol

I need to get a flexy for zorst as when it's cold I get a little rattle not always but there is no play in the system , not wanting to crack the mani lol

Well after browsing around today I found something I hadn't even considered, I have seen these on fleebay but never actually had a closer look, a guy on here with a 1.1 has one fitted and it's a replica of the OMP brace, so i'm thinking cancel the Anthracite OMP jobby and buy this, price difference is like £5, with the OMP being a tad more expensive...

Heres a quick PS;

And also got a video uploading of the car with the raceland fitted only a quick vid from cold start and the cars stationary but it's a HD vid (300mb's worth) so will add the link as soon as it's completed

PS ; thoughts on the brace?

J's going all bling-bling !

I know your trying to go clean, but isnt chrome brace just...chavvy!?

Why not just get an E-tech Brace...would suit your bay better imo

Im with Raz on this one Jamie, chrome strut brace looks odd imo.

Do it black

I don't agree with it being chavy, looks clean imo & an E-tech literally does nothing, the OMP design does definitely tighten up the front end more, I 100% feel a difference after having one fitted and taking it off numerous times.

Don't insult me with E-tech! danggggg Ryan...

Listen, if you like E-tech consider ordering one

I haven't purchased it yet, but I probably will, just want to see what it looks like on a decent internet connection, mine compresses images to the maxi (shitty o2 broadband stick)

Nope, quite the opposite actually dude, thinking of selling her in the new year for a Mondeo ST/Zafira GSI or Fiesta ST or even a Fabia VRS really unsure atm.

It highly looks like in the new year I will have a blast from the past and buy another 206 GTI 180.

Providing I sell this, so in January, i'l apply for my plates get them on retention and start selling.

Price will be 3.5k any less and the bellow doesn't come with.

Standard parts will also be included in price;

-standard exhaust
-std mirror caps
-std VTS rims (no tires)
-std airbox

Which I think will be a good price, this isn't an advert though lol

It's a mint 2003 registered car,HPI clear 3 owners from new, almost full Citroen service history, never been on track all mods are way less than a year old, with relatively low milleage 61k belts changed ect. If it doesn't sell at that price, then it's obviously too high,in which case i'l strip it or just keep it.

I wanted bodies but cba lol.

If I split i'll let you know dude, onwards and upwards I guess, who knows maybe i'll get lazy and keep it (hassle with plate everytime) lol

Originals would go back on (which I still have, I always keep everything so my car can go back to standard should I need to)

Unsure tbh mate, probably 3k, or without std bits or wheels 2.7k

It wont be ti'l early next year though, (need to make sure my insurance company will cover the 180 too as I pay anually) so say mid January. And I'm in Waltham Abbey

Time will telll mate, it seems pricey when compared to yours, but without sounding up my own arse, my car forgetting your mods and mine is worth more on paper.

what reg is yours/history/owners/milleage?

Basing it on a not complete service history,2000 plate, 3-4 owners,80k on the clocks the cars worth (without your mods) 1500-1800 allowing just over 2k for other parts. (hense your 4k asking price) obviously the variables will be different*

I value my car @ 2.4k without any mods, I paid around the same for it in Febuary when it was completely standard, however it wasn't a shadow of what it is now (excluding mods) condition wise. It has had around 2k thrown at it in the time, so asking under a grand for all the mods, and including the std parts doesn't sound to sad imo.

Or tell me different, if it sells it sells

Lol maybe no to a VRS!

I miss luxuries tbh, maybe I was deluded by my situation ie I couldn't afford another but now I can and it's a much better car & newer. My S is quicker than a std 180, but a std vts isn't

my 180 when mapped would be close with my S but safer, better looking & much more comfortable lol

It's all good mate

Lol to not as clean as yours though you would say that

I have cleaned everything on this car, including the undernieth, the only thing I haven't done is give it a lick of paint underneith or in the arches because I don't like the idea of it

Iv'e also had the interior out too and cleaned and polished the paint under the seats lol.

Pics from cleaning and polishing boot floor; Interior is obviously back in lol

I put mine up for sale now, but it's to guage interest unless someone actually comes up with the money, I wont sell it for less with things I include, and i'm not fussed if I end up keeping it, but I would like to change

Gave her a wee clean today, through the winter she's been a little dirty ha

She will now remain on the drive until sold, insurance runs out on her next weekend.

Thanks dude, I only hope it's a well known member that get's it or someone that will look after it, but it's looking like it's going to be going cheap which means it's very affordable for non enthusiasts...

I'll be loosing alot of money on this it seems down to the time of selling

But I have promised myself I won't go under 2.5k or then I will split it, so it has until March as it is, to sell as a whole, if not it will be back to standard.

It's soo difficult to find a good saxo these days. people expect to pay next to nothing for them. Atleast if someone is willing to pay for it, it's a better chance it will go to a good home! I know i'd have it if i could spare the pennies! it would seem a shame to split it.

Final chapter, Goodbye ...

Well todays the day she finally get's picked up by her new owner.

newqs36; All I know is she is getting what she deserves BODIES!

I never thought i'd be sad enough to call a car my baby, but she really is, i've owned some really nice cars and had some decent kit on them but by far this car has had the most out of me, money and lots of time effort.

I can honestly say If I had the 2.5k I'd keep it as to me it's worth much more.

In less than a year from when I got her;

To;

This;

To this;

So this is just to say goodbye friend, & a couple of hi def vids to follow.

x1, and the next will come in a few hrs as my internet is WACk lol

well it bound to happen, VTS are made for fast round, annoy me when people euro VTS's and drive them at 20mph, what a waste of 16v, they should use a VTR.

Seems that way. I have a feeling that it's going to end up being split as it's for sale soon after.

It was bought for £2.5k, and people know it on the forum, possibly bought it for that and expected to sell it on for £500 or so more up where he's from.My biggest issue with selling was because people couldn't be asked to come down to view/buy.

I'm annoyed it's up for sale so soon after as I don't believe it deserves it considering the amount of work that went in to it, it's abit of an insult.

But fuckit, I don't own it anymore.

It looks very similar to his old S, so maybe he regrets buying it and just selling it on to get something else. Up for the same money so he's not trying to make a quick buck. Like you said not your concern anymore - he can do whatever he likes to it.

Lol thanks mate. Erm as for wanting it back nah it was awesome fun at the time and I did sort of miss it for a while but I don't miss it any more and certainly wouldn't go back to a Saxo, I'm getting too old for all this shit lol.

I have good memories though.

Team Dynamics wheels come in a variety of offset, it depends on the original order.

If you buy them new, you can request the offset you want.

Hi quite random I checked the forums as I don’t use them anymore!

In answer to your question your best bet is to PM SaxoAL in this thread or try through Rtec as I got them through him although I’m unsure if he still works for Rtec anymore.

I did quickly use their website to see using the wheel finder. ET15 pops up so could have been correct. I know they were direct fitment and didn’t require spacers however when fitted the calliper was very close to the alloy. It didn’t touch but it was tight!

Dimensions
Diameter - 15.00"
Width - 7.00"
Offset - 15
Load (in KG)
Centre Bore - 73.00
Bolt pattern (PCD) - 4x108
Code 5W2-570154108
Reference 40030

If I was you I would try to contact Rtec in St Albans England. It was a long time ago but maybe they may be able to assist you.
