Statto · 15-09-2007, 18:47

looks menacing from the front! Is it lower at the back that the front?

flopstocks · 16-09-2007, 09:37

lol At present it's got cut rear springs on - a nasty surprise! I got 60 mm springs comming soon! Yea the front bumper was done like that to improve air flow -the bloke who had the car before done it! Unfortunately for me I blew the engine and had to fit another :-(

**Benn** · 16-09-2007, 09:42

Looks very nice,

AK_LET · 16-09-2007, 11:26

other than that nice

philip2 · 16-09-2007, 12:32

whats spec of motor?

dearing5 · 16-09-2007, 13:06

tidy

change them rear lights though.

Nemesis · 16-09-2007, 13:13

I'd ditch the tints, the lights and add some colour coded doorhandles.

Engine wise you might want to route the coil lead a bit better and wtf is that dump valve?

flopstocks · 16-09-2007, 18:02

Yea I'm not really a fan of the lights either - they came with the car! Was a nasty surprise when I found the cut rear springs. The engine was removed from a L reg Cav from my local salavage yard (i'm assuming it was standard but it may not be!). Running phase 3 and i've fitted an upgraded intercooler, VXR injectors, f28 box, bigger diesel rad (hence putting the saxo PAS pump on!). It's running GMAX shocks front and rear. I'm not sure if the dump valve is working correctly, as it sounds like it's dumping through the air filter - got to look into that! The bottom engine failed on the old engine after 1 day

Apparantly running 2.1 bottom end approx 305 bhp, but I'd take it with a pinch of salt! Guess I should strip it some time lol

Was quite really simple to fit. I used a corsa ABS mount bracket and simply welded the bracket with the PAS bracket! Wiring was simple, the rubber pipe is straight off the rack, and the metal one needing cutting and joining the saxo bit on the end. Also I had to shorten the filler neck, as it was too high!

bolton · 20-09-2007, 13:44

thanks for info, mite have a go doing it to mine!
what model/yr saxo wos the pump off? thanks

flopstocks · 20-09-2007, 17:25

Think it was an S reg VTR, there are two types one with a separate filler bottle, and one with a built in bottle (thats what I've got)

Ok sorted out my insurance with Adrain Flux, £500 fully comp

However they will only insure as market value, because they require:

Independent Valuation - This is to be provided by an independent source, such as an owners club. It should be on headed paper and state clearly who has provided the valuation and their qualifications.

Unfortunatley for me I don't know any qualified people

Anyone know someone that could do this for me?
