Why would you want to sell if you've only just finished it? Have you had it on track yet?

Lol its not definitley up for sale. Its just if something interesting comes along. I'm still spending money on it and i'f i still have it when a track day crops up i will take it. I need to upgrade the brakes to gti/vts brakes upfront and make some brake ducts as the front are getting hot under the steelies.

UPDATEEEEE!!!!
Well i met lee and josh at j22 and convoy'd up to bolton abbey but on the way my alternator belt snapped in harrogate. I was sooo angry, it took the rac 5 hours to get a belt fitted by which time it wastoo late to go and everyone was leaving soo a wasted jorney.
What caused the belt to go was play in the tensioner and the crank pulley rubber had perished. So it was an excuse to upgrade. I got the kam racing crank/alt pulley set. I saved 1.190kg of unsprung weight :y: I also got a new tensioner from Citroen. Heres some pics..
I also got some heat wrap and some stainless ties...
I got some more silvervision bulbs for the side repeators and rear indicators. I also got some numberplate led (xenon colour) bulbs...
Unfortunatly my input shaft bearings have decided to go and the diff bearing so thats being done next wensday. heres a pic of the diff bearing and 1 input bearing (others on order)..
Because of the above ive got some new gen diff seals and gearbox oil..

UPDATE!!!!!!!
Right seeing as ive got a day off work ive finally got a chance to do an update. The reason ive not had a chance to update the thread in ages is because i now work for Citroen (Bristol Street Leicester)
Right..
Blue silicone hose i got from graham goodes for the breather..
During fitting the covers..
Unfortunatly even with the solid mounts the brace vibrated on the cover at 4k so ive had to take it off but im going to get strut top plates welded on then i can put the brace back on..
Next up, the inlet cover bolts were rusty and looked shite so i replaced them with nice shiny new ones..
I was missing a few side skirt clips..
I was also missing the clip for the rear bumper..
I also found out why the gear linkages were cut. Some fool had put the wrong gearbox bracket on with the ball on which means they had to shorten the linkages. So its been replaced with the proper bracket and the kam racing linkages now work spot on.
This takes me upto french car show. I will update again in 2 secs due to size.

At french car show i went with Macca (White Vts)...
Really did think this year was crap i left at 12 as i was piss bored. Been going 6 years now and its just getting boring. Much preffered it at brunters.
After french car show i went too pug1off to have an Oil change and too fit my cam covers as the ones i was given were warped and were rubbing on the pulley.
I went for Fuchs Titan super syn 5w/40..
Pics of the cam covers fitted..
Matt also re-timed it so now its spot on. Carnt recommend pug1off enough. The are by far the best garage ive used by terms of quality of work. If i keep the saxo i will be using there services again.
One of my driveshafts failed on the joint (Gearbox end) so its had a new shaft under warranty which Lee_vtr fitted. Cheers Buddy :y:
Me and Macca went for a drive and took some pics...
We then took some fly-by vid's for the noise!..
Mine (Click)..
Macca's (Click)..
A quick vid of mine and the missus's frp! love the noise of the frp (Click)..
I went and collected some black comp mo's which ive always wanted. I think there a gorgous looking wheel and when they came up for sale i couldn't resist..
I will get some better pics as it dosent show how good they look on.
I evently found some optic morrettes for sale which were brand new never fitted in a box for a bargain price. All ive used from them is the optic to replace the smashed one i had on the drivers side. I'm keeping the rest for spares incase anything else gets broken...
I've litrally just had my trax tickets posted through :y:
And that currently bring me up to date.
