Sax is all together now and ready for mapping. Unfortunately the mapper can’t get me in for a couple of weeks and then I’m on holiday so will be when I get back in the middle of October. Just in time for me to sorn it for winter!

Finally got all the parts needed for the bodies. Oh the joy of buying 2nd hand parts from the net that are ‘complete’.

One of the coolest cars I’ve had! RWD 80s cool with a Valver engine in it!

Saw that on the Volvo forum. Not a bad price to be fair.

No regrets.....

I prefer the 740 saloons. I think they look class!

Because I like a clean car?

Not really worth the hassle as I’d have to replace the rear shocks and springs and front springs. Ends up been expensive which defeats the object of the car really.

Slammed.

New wheels on.

Tis wearing a little thin this event now. The newby one this year was absolutely rammed!

My old s1 Rallye on bodies wiped the floor with 172s etc but that was forged and running 180 plus bhp. I’d expect this to be a bit quicker than a Clio when done but who knows!

If it’s got 4 wheels on I think everything is ok - that’s why mots are essential for me!

Problem is that mick will make his money from cambelts, oil changes, diagnostic work etc - his bread and butter so to speak. He knows how long these jobs will take and how much money he will make. Your car is a totally different kettle of fish - it might sound exciting for the likes of me but...

It was a genuine test! I don’t do mots by post when I take my kids in the car.

His hand has. Not sure about his finger - it’s still in the turbo.

And then back up again....

Massively? Turned the screw up a little but that’s it. What turns up can always be turned down.

Mot passed! Whoop!

Pre mot wash.

Nah, sold them. I decided it wasn’t worth putting £600 suspension on a £1200 car. Mot tomorrow. Should have been around two weeks ago - whoops...

Nice

Boost is fun but for a road / track car I prefer bodies in saxos / 106s.

Off she’s goes to team green motorsport for the bodies fitting and mapping. Money pit.

Like you say, darker wheels will toughen her up, 15mm spacers on the rear, Turinis.....Etc etc

Nice.

Sick.

Long way from fitting and mapping but will hopefully get there in the next few months.

I’m waiting on the weather to be honest. It’s not very waterproof with the poly windows so doubt I’d have a fun time if it rained.
