   I'm still nOt completely with you. You mean like spiral wrap (JML style) or...?
   
   The skill is in hiding them move everything you can inside the car.

   LIke I say - move everything in the car. You've done your main fuse box - have you done the other box too? Got a pic of how it is at the moment? I'll try and help more

    Unfortunately the space I saved hiding the wires and moving the fuse boxes kinda got filled with other crap lol.

    Thanks man. It was pretty bad but I've changed a lot since that photo. Everything is black (EVERYTHING) so should be lower maintenance. Although there's a few surprises Bling bling this year

    You can wash it off but it's grease that fucks it - no joke, burned through probably 20 pairs of gloves fitting it to keep it clean. And my engines been in and out like a yoyo so it got pretty grubby.
    
    Promise you'll like the new look don't you worry

    Temp reduction was insane. Under bonnet and after engine off. I can hold the manifold 3 minutes or so after engine off. Do that with a raceland
    
    Price for my manifold to be coated was £380 in white. X2 if you change your mind like a knobber... FML

    Won't be at trax no mate - prob come as a spectator. Car still totally stripped. Only got some glass in the other day lol. No wiring, engine, brakes, nada. Moved house and stripped of all time with DIY unfortunately!
    
    Will be around 350 ish I'd say. Certainly no more.
    
    You can let me have a drive of yours if ya want
    
    On a serious note, I'll bring my performance logger (AX22) for you to run if your going on track? We'll get some proper specs.

    dont expect too much and you should enjoy it mate
    
    its a bit rough round the edges but i built it to drive not to show...only reason i bought my first saxo was because they were so cheap..cheap to mod and fix
    
    i FUCKING HATED saxos before i bought one...but after doing lots of Renault gearboxes in i thought i needed a change
    
    built this to drive but love it as well, half the reason i dont want to put masses in..i want to drive it to its potential...if i put too much in ill be like half of the "track cars" on here...never see a rainy day or a track for that matter
    
    not that i blame them..money that goes.
