ha ha ha...
my mate reckons he is a hero cos he has a sxao vts...raggs it around thinking its a ferrari...well funny....n e way about 3 months ago he lowered it and it starting vibrating...weren't nuffin to do with the suspension
any way he continued to rag it cold, hot, wat ever, he'd rag it
so... hte vibrating got worse and worse etc so he decided to take it to a dealer..
they rang him today...lol...this is the e-mail he sent me
alright boyce
got the phone call about the car, they are sending it to some specialist
for the head work but this is whats wrong
front left wheel bearing has totally shattered
2 of the engine mounts have gone and them two things was what caused the
vibration
all 4 break pads have gone and new disks
i need a new radiator that why it wasnt cooling down
and with the engine the head gasket has blown and i had washed the bores
where i drove it wit a blown headgasket
he said they will have to re-skim the engine, but the pistons and that are
ok and they think the valves are fine but they aint looked at them yet
so a lot of work and money
ha ha ha ha ha |

Aye I almost got a Saxo aswell, found one at the auctions for 1500 (Not bad like 2 and half year ago) On a X reg or something, god knows what litre it was possibly something like 1.0 or so, still it had a fucked engine so that didn't matter. |

I've driven a few saxos now, always find that my one foot covers all three pedals, think their made for midgets. |
