New Track Saxo

[leeds_182]

No more bonnet raisers.

Aftermarket washer bottle and switch installed to get it through a mot as the previous owner had removed the old one.

I think this one's pretty nice, it looks it from the pics - was it a decent buy ?

Passes the 10ft test but it’s no oil painting. It’s got some nice bits on and work has gone into it so it’s a good starting point.

 

[leeds_182]

Now have mot!

 

[R3k1355]

So it's for sale is what you're saying?

 

[leeds_182]

Few shots from jap night with Phil.

 

[leeds_182]

Few shots from a drive out today.

I’m still searching for a set of bodies.

 

[Daz...]

Any plans to change the rear bumper?

It looks great apart from that.

It genuinely doesn’t bother me the rear bumper. It’s certainly not worth the cost to find a new one and get it painted.

 

[Daz...]

That’s fair enough, I can’t imagine they’re the easiest of things to get hold of.

I do miss driving one of these though, they’re a proper laugh even as standard.

 

[leeds_182]

Bwaaarrrp.

What sort of gains would this set up make?

It can vary but from 165bhp to 180bhp with a reasonable set of cams.

Now it’ll need that set of ds3000’s I have for sale

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.

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

 

[leeds_182]

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

Money pit.

 

[cat171]

I love it!! The rear bumper's a bit w**k imo, bit I reckon the cars ace!

 

[_Tom]

Weren't tempted to go boosted again then?

 

[Daz...]

That was a quick couple of months

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

 

[Cookson]

Bwaaaaarrrrp, those TU lumps sound amazing on bodies

 

[hsustyle]

Remind me what these compare like in a straight line to a 1*2? I remember my 16v Rallyes /Gtis being not far off? And the bodied ones a bit quicker? Or is that just my nostalgia?

Looks great by the way, my fav sounding exhaust for sure.

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!

 

[SimpleJoee]

f**k sake I miss my MK1.

Dis be looking well sick, as they say. Keep me in mind when you sell it next year... ?

 

[cat171]

Year? He'll probably get rid of it by October!?

 

[imprezaworks]

Sold on the way back from mapping.

Probably

 

[leeds_182]

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

 

[John Travolta]

Very nice!

 

[leeds_182]

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!

 

[leeds_182]

Little update - car is now mapped and just needs a few little tweaks but should be back with me on Wednesday.

I’ve been smoking about in this beaut for the last two weeks.

 

[leeds_182]

Saxos back! Sounds awesome!

Made roughly 140bhp at the wheels which equates to 167bhp at the fly.

I do love bodies.

Bwaaaaarp.

 

[Daz...]

That must be a riot with that power!

It’s loud.

Hero chariot. Love it!
