MY SAPH COS
Posted: Fri Jul 16, 2010 8:10 pmThought id put a post up to show what ive been up to with the saph. Ive had it just over a year now, got it at Kames in a deal with my old Monte. Heres how it looked when i first got it, done the deal on the sat night and took to the track on the Sunday in it lol.
After a bit i decided to get a set of coilovers for it, at the same time i got a steel header tank,mirror image catch tank, breather pot, swirl pot and strut brace all in black crackle. Closely followed by a turbo cooler and alloy rad. It had a cone filter on it but changed to a grp a k&n.
Then made a short trip to Bolton lol and got myself a set of 18" old style mo's.
All was going great with it had had it fully serviced and new belt and tensioner fitted. Two days before christmas on way to a night out the front prop let go big time, took out the box,front diff,clutch and inner cv joint, nice early christmas present lol. After this it sat and never turned a wheel for 3.5 months nearly.
Eventualy got my finger out and bought all the bits and set about getting it all back together. After this my mind was set that id had enough and was selling it........
Kames was coming up so though id take to the track again one last time, bitten by the track bug again decision was made to just keep it and enjoy it again. So the shopping began again, sold the 18's as were to big for track and had a clear out of old parts i had lying around.
Bits ive got so far- grp A fuel pump and hard wire loom for it,10mm plenum spacer, collins engine mounts,330 discs and bell with 6 pot calipers, rear 300mm discs and bell and yellow stuff pads,4 8x17 comp mo's in grey also 4 8x17 grp A comp mo's in white, ex touring car slicks, 6 point SD cage and the latest a set of cobra evolution seats.
So here is how she looks 1 and a bit years on.
Will get some pics of the full ca tmrw once iv gave it a scrub as had it blast today checking all was working ok before knockhill on sunday.
