  1. Track conversion? It has the front struts from the saxo but the rear beam is from an S1 XSi as I wanted to keep it on drums atm, apparently with discs its easy to lock up as the back end is so light (I reckon two people could lift it!). I have a refurbished disc rear beam to put on when i have time as the trailing arm bearings are worn on the current beam but I think il run an adjustable brake bias valve to solve the locking up problem.
  2. Might as well get a RIM playbook for
  3. Sounds like his banging your missus, going on holiday with you without you knowing, seriously? And his on benefits and gone to jail but can afford to do all this? What a disgrace.
  4. 2 Tyres are near new, one is on the limit and the other is balding. Not sure if all centre caps are there, I know at least one is in Derby so I will have to send it on.
  5. I got quotes from shipley and another similar site when I wanted a car moving 200 miles, think it cost me
  6. Virgin media gets my vote, seem to have the best prices and good consistent speeds. I have had them 2 years in a row whilst at uni and we have had them at home for a loooong time.
  7. They'll be on for a while yet, I think the gti badges/stickers give it away as not being a sleeper though lol Is it red by any chance? The turbo was a decent car plenty quick (even though the carb wasnt set up properly) and a real sleeper. Was surprisingly comfortable as well and rust free! Sold it to a decent enthusiast who will look after it now as theres only 3 left on the road. I just can't be bother with carb'd cars now! Another pic I took with my iPhone, did bring my proper camera out but left the sd card at home, doh!
  8. I also have these to go on it when I get the time to refurb them
  9. I wanted to do this project about 3 years ago but as It would be modified I couldnt find anyone to insure me and I didnt have a clue how to go about the re-wiring so I went and bought a Saxo VTS. Originally I wanted to convert a series 1 106 to a VTS engine as it was my first car, then i found out the AX was lighter and I was gifted one, I then found out about a GTi and so decided to do the engine conversion on that. The main bits such as engine, gearbox, front suspension came from my saxo but I also trawled ebay for a year sourcing new bits and waited on forum group buys. The old saxo (doner car) Shiney new quick shift: Engine ready to go in: Must have had some water in at some point as no 2 cylinder was rusty inside, left a ton of oil in it overnight and then free'd it off by hand. Checked the compression and was still good so I think I got away with that one [-o< In place!: Had to change the beam twice, original beam had negative camber both sides, second was seized, third was a good'un and cheap! Next to the r9: Unfortunatly I havent got any nice pictures of it finished as I literilly had to finish the project, take it for MOT and then drive 125 miles to uni! Here is a poor pic taken with my iphone: It has had: VTS engine and Gearbox Heat wrapped 421 manifold, modified saxo supersprint middle pipe and janspeed backbox Blue VTR clocks Sparco hoses XSi rear beam VTS struts, ARB and brakes New Koni suspension all round OMP upper and lower strut braces A539 tyres on steelies VTS seats Waiting to go on it I have a fully refurbished disc rear beam, Newman PH3 cams and a predator ECU which will probably go on in the summer. I also bought an OMP cage, as there hard to come by second hand but im not sure if im going to take the car down that route as its my daily at the moment
  10. Why not get something second hand? I bought a Panasonic DMC-FZ30, it has all the features of a high end camera the only bad ponts being it is only 7 mp (but im never going to print anything bigger then A4 ) and can only take a 2gb SD card, but for
  11. This is a brake disc assembly I did ages ago in autocad, currently learning how to use solidworks.
  12. There resending the stuff to me, and I can send back the other order when ever
  13. Starting to hate online shopping with all the faffing about with deliveries, might have to start doing it the old fashioned way and leave the house I hope they do something out of goodwill, as far as I can see this is no fault of mine.
  14. I could but I dont fancy a 300 mile round trip to get £25 worth of goods. I could also get my parents to send it but I dont see (and they won't either) why the have to waste their time, effort and money doing that.
  15. I know places to do that, but ive never had one let me continue with my purchase if that is the case. This invioce also states the delivery address I wanted. Can anyone see anything about only delivering to the billing address on their site as I cant; http://www.edinburghbicycle.com
  16. Waited in all day for a package, just checked the tracking status and its been delivered to my billing address not the delivery address. Where do I stand with this, can I demand items be sent to the correct address again?
  17. Dont know if anyone can help but whenever I join any lobby I will be the only one in it, going to auctions or trying to upload a photo in my storefront comes up with "forza 4 server is not availible at this time". Whats going on?

  19. Tax till feb 12 MOT till Oct 11 97K on the clock Recently had new driveshaft, water pump, front pads, dizzy cap, ignition leads, spark plugs, roter arm etc, 2 X T1R tyres, and full service (including coolant and gerbox oil). Replaced the battery last winter as the old one failed. Bodywork is good with hardly any/no rust, has had a good respray in the past. Lots of history and old MOT's with the car and a spare set of alloys. Faults with the car: Carb needs tuning or theres an air leak somewhere as idle's high at the moment. Odometer doesn't work Heater fan doesn't work, heater matrix is fine. Could be a fuse. Steering rack knocks a bit with turning Radiator fan is constantly on (was going to wire a switch to the dash) More pictures: http://s191.photobucket.com/albums/z70/Up2nogood316/R9%20Turbo/ http://s191.photobucket.com/albums/z70/Up2nogood316/Turbo/
