Hi guys! Well I've just bought a 1.4 Saxo

Not my first choice either!

But it came with tax&Test and runs sweet, and I got it for peanuts so its not too bad.

Its the westcoast so has the vtr/vts bumpers etc on, its got some gay o.z alloys and a set of LEXUS lights! but the lights will be gone by tomorrow and i'm on the look for some VTS wheels for it.

Anyway here it is ill get some more pictures tomorrow

BE WARNED ITS YELLOW!

Oh it also heres my time sheets from the strip:

1st ever run of pod --- 20.2658@72.38 < Missed 2nd
Then a false start racing my mate in his VRS Fabia

3rd run --- 18.1520@75.40
4th run --- 18.1759@73.93
And forgot to get my last time sheet

Don't think it did too bad and it was my first ever time down pod, LOVED it tho

And a couple of pictures from camp

Couple of boring updates no pics, changed my side lights to some White LEDs, changed the coolant and bled the system, and ordered a 5.5cm aerial, as the saxo one is huuuuge! That's it for now might get a pic of the side when it gets dark

And a shocking picture of my new sides in the dark

UPDATE -

On saturday my clutch went, well the thrust bearing went more than anything, so I got it home and tightened the cable so I could drive it up to my girlfriends mums where they have a big enough drive to let me work on it properly. So yesterday morning I ordered my cluch kit and got it for £21.50 on trade. So was happy with that also orders 2liters of gearbox oil and it arrived for about 12ish and it was all fitted and done by 5 so thought that was quite good going as the box had never been off the car so some things made it a bit of a pain but all in all quite easy.

A few pics, no fitted pics though.

One gearbox off

Ruined bearing

Trashed pressure plate

And a nice new clutch assembly

So it's all sorted and running sweet also had a look at the selector while I was under there as it was a bit sloppy did a quick fix and it's much better
