[Middo]

[Craig]

[GarethM]

awesome mark,

anymore stuff planned or is that it?

 

[Marky_]

I'm going go for the weirdest compliment of the day and say the tread pattern on your rear tyres are very cool. Pradas all around?

 

[Beef-Mc]

Lol ^^

Car looks awesome in the sun!

 

[Gaz_]

What colour are the bullets? Look good!!! From Autopaint?

 

[adamRS]

Looks a treat. Phase 1.5 all the way!!

indeed! one of the reasons i bought them, they look awesome

the paint is from halfrauds, but its like pulling teeth to get it mixed

Lots more plans yet, i'm expecting my subframes for my seats some time this week so hopefully they'll be in soon. The yozzasport is getting modified so it sits closer to the bumper, and being de dented before FCS (hopefully)

 

[n0rm]

one word middo.........awesome pal keep up the good work

 

[Middo]

yeah def, think they'd compliment eachother nicely! let us know when shes back on the road

 

[Nafoff]

will do, looking forward to seeing the interior too, mine is up for sale now...bucket time

 

[Middo]

lmao. im still waiting on demon tweeks to get my recaro subframes sorted, and sportseats4u still havent given me a fooking refund so im becoming increasingly pissed off with them

 

[specialK]

that is sooooo the only colour to have on a Mk1 - looks fantastic, you should be well proud and pleased with it !!!
wish I still had mine !!

 

[Middo]

totally agree! think its a love hate thing with a lot of people, think it actually looks nicer in real life than pics

 

[theduck]

^^ deffinately agree with that.

They do look good, i thought that when i got mine, track look. Also at £32.50 a tyre they are bloody cheap.

 

[Marky_]

Sounds like a bargin

 

[Middo]

As per my thread in media, from day one ive loved this exhaust, the sound, quality of welds and performance gain makes it worth every penny and a no brainer when picking a system - however on my car it has never looked right. so took the plunge and dave (mini-valver) and myself made a trip to the exhaust centre to have my yozzasport modified.

the guys at JP did a great job of removing the old tailpipe and TIGing the new tail pipe into place. simply a matter of installing a new hanger so the exhaust sits perfectly level as its currently a bit wonky and chopping a slice out of the bumper to allow for the suitable heat dissipation.

 

[theduck]

Looks cracking mate

 

[Middo]

cheers dude

 

[Little Newms]

Sorry to go of topic but how do you find those tyres mark??

Cars looking great

 

[Coby.]

Whats going on with Sport Badge??

 

[Middo]

I bought one off ebay which was a bit different because every chav in stoke as a 'saxo sport', however decided to go back to standard so took it off and whats left is the adhesive. Original going back on soon.

The Tyres are yoko parada spec 2s, bought from a guy off ebay for 120 quid fitted, not bad at all!

I know what they are! :clown:

How do you find them? Bargain price btw!!

 

[Middo]

just checking

Just a bloke off ebay, should still be on there i'd imagine

 

[theduck]

Middo he is asking if you think they are good or not.

 

[Middo]

sorry didnt read it properly

they are amazing in the dry, pretty poor in the wet but the performance in the dry well makes up for it

 

[Middo]

GOOD NEWS! my subframes are sitting in my living room, and the cars booked in to have the seats fitted and a few tweaks to the exhaust etc on Tuesday, so the seats will be in for FCS

 

[SBV116]

The things i do!! ha ha ha!

 

[Middo]

Decalled birchdown sub will have to be my cars new name

 

[Nafoff]

my seats are all out, got no rush to put the new ones in though

 

[Middo]

good stuff! I cant wait to have mine in, been looking at em for months without being able to fit them, been driving me insane.

Small update, wetsanded and pc'd the roof today to get rid of some small hairline scratches, took bloody hours but is looking pretty mint!

 

[Mish]

Nice work Middo- it's a great car, I love it!

 

[Jamesstone]

[Middo]
