Thought,as it's that time of year again, I'd post a few of mine. Nothing new, till I get it out the garage and give it a good clean, but just a few random shots... Not exactly groundbreaking stuff, it's another Stage 3 Saff on Comp MO's....

Couple from a few years ago, back when it was on RL7's and standard brakes;




One from an old Fast Ford shoot;


Couple from Coombe, on the old Surrey stand;




Quick one of under the bonnet, excuse the dirt!


Random underneath pic ( I only toshed it over with leftover rattle cans I had kicking about) a proper underbody clean up is on the list of things to do...


A work in progress pic, while the MO's get done in black... (Sorry Glenn, If you see this!?)


Back in its house


Thanks for looking, enjoy or endure!?

 

Nice car just dont do the wheels black lol. I like your saff on the silver 5 spoke comps. Do you still have the bucket seats in like in the first pic.

 

Looks good Stu mate.

 

Cheers guys!

Sorry Glenn, I've already started, only got two left to do....



Not sure yet, might go back to silver....

 

Silver for the win.

 

This is where I change my mind again!?

Still got the bucket seats and 4point Sabelts but will go back to the standard seats in the future, won't get the kids in the back otherwise!
Did originally plan to have it more for track use, but now just going to keep it for the road...

 

Much prefer the silver

 

Them rl7 look quality would love a set myself, looks just as good on the comps although I agree with everyone else silver is better!

 

looks good, but im sorry to say , silver comps for me too

 

Pmsl, plenty of love for the black wheels then!? Not

 

The castle coombe pic is a old one as it has my Saph in there with wheels I had on it a long while ago

Steve

 

Love the black wheels against the body colour

 

That's you with the 6 pack and tan too hey Steve??

 

It's from donkeys years ago, I remember cable tiring the camera to the flag pole for the aerial shot..


I'd keep them on, but wonk go over the brakes...

 

Thanks mate!

Law of averages says someone would like them eventually!?

 

Really I woulda thought they'd clear big brakes shame mines still having bits done or I'd make you an offer on them

 

Looks good mate.
Have you removed the standard front tow eye?

Cheers Paul

 

Don't think my calipers are the lowest profile ones? They're AP's, off, I think, a TVR?

 

Yes, always bugged me, having the eye and the part it's welded to. Cut that all out and put the strap on (oo-er!?) It's normally tucked away, out of sight..

 

I like the towing eye mod. Its a bit of a eye sore isnt it.

 

I agree, I'm liking that tow eye mod especially with the cut out bumper.
Do you just have to cut off the whole row eye mountng?
I like the strap on show too

Cheers Paul

 

IS that a new chat show with lesbians or something?! What channels it on? Sorry

It's like a plate welded over the cross member, I just ran a cutter across it. It was more on show with the bumper bar cut out, think it looks better...

 

Like the towing eye mod too

 

Thanks! Good to see the tow eye mod is going down better than the black wheels!?

I went for the black tow strap, rather than red so I'd didn't look like Dougals tongue, off of Magic Roundabout!

 

Ha ha!

Definately wanna remove mine now.
I'm about to paint my wheels black too!!!
Nothing wrong with black wheels (my car is grey btw)

Cheers Paul

 

I had a crack at mine with a hack saw, as I didn't have any discs, but got on better than I'd thought I would! Tidied it up with a grinder later, would of been easier to grind it in the first place...
If you can weld, could weld on a threaded tube to take a screw in tow eye? Think that's what Rod's done....

Flint grey and black wheels would look good I'd say!?

 

Not a great pic, not helped by me spraying the crossmember black, but shows what's left...
Again, excuse the dust! I need to paint the garage walls and floor to try and stop the dust...

 

Is that a engine undertray fitted too? Is so there rare. How many have been thrown away in the first few years of there life.

Looks like you have a cold air feed pipe too. I got one fitted to my saff. Every little bit of cold air helps.

 

very nice stu!! I prefer silver over black BUT those wheels look great in white

 

Silver......

 

Does look odd with the undertray I want one for mine!

 

There ideal for catching the oil leaks.

 

Yep, it's the original tray, helps force the air thru the Intercooler too and very handy for holding oil Glenn!

The cold feed come off the back of the fog light duct, up thru where the washer bottle neck was straight onto the cone filter...

 

When they stop leaking, that is the time to worry cause there is no oil left lol.

Ive seen a saff before with a 3dr cossie washer bottle on the ns inner arch and like yours with a cold air feed pipe goimg through the washer bottle hole.

 

Think i might be getting rid of my revs for some 17's soon

 

The washer bottle is under the N/S wing, I fill it thru the hole in the inner wing, behind the headlamp. Got it from work ages ago, it off an old Ferrari, can't remeber which one, but must of been a crap one that would of broken down before it got empty!? Shouldn't think it's much more than a litre!?
Didn't think of the practicalities when I fitted it, I could probably get my little lad to piss in it and fill it in one go...

 

Quite like those wheels... Does it handle ok on 18's? I heard mixed views on that....

 

Cant see any diff to 17's

 

Worth bearing in mind... I'd need to sort the suspension first, too low as it is, never get 18's under it!? Maybe get Coilovers on the back, so I can at least raise or lower both ends...

 

deffo looks better on the silver comps stu
