Exhaust broke on the saxo the other night so I cant use it until pay day , when I can get a new one.
Sad
woo hoo I thought, Good exuse to use the bike for back and forward to work till the end of the month. Smile
Came home last night to find out when I put my poxy wheel trims back on the pimp mobile the other night, I had cut into the bloody valve of the tire !--- Fooked Flat tire ! Mad

Lucky I got the Bike !!! Twisted Evil

Oh and I got banned from bringing the bike into the compound in work, Because it "Smells" ! Evil or Very Mad I cant help it if everybody gets addicted to the nice aroma of 2 stroke ! Sick
Have to park it out in the carpark Crying or Very sad

Anybody else having "one of those days " ?

I've grown out of that stuff Very Happy , It turns out no matter how much money you throw at a car, you wont get it back when you come to sell it . ( Thats coming from a bloke who spent over a grand on his mx5 !)
I was cruzing around tesco with my mother when it snapped, while listening to DMX and Eminem Wink

Um, Its snapped off right by where the centre pipe enters the the rear box.
Back box has gone/going as well , so i tried "bodging" it back it to the back box and taping it up with the proper tape, but it did'nt hold.

Every time I look at it I just laugh ! Very Happy (No dirty thoughts please !) Wink [/img]

That is the most common place for them to go so don't worry too much.

The reason I was asking is because if it had gone right at the front you have got to make sure you check the gearbox mount as they do wear out and snap exhausts.

It was all right up untill a week ago

For some reason its smelling like its leaking petrol.
Had a look at the breather tubes,the tap,the tank,and the carb etc..
But I think it might be leaking a tiny bit from under the carb,at that sticky out pipe thing ? over flow for the floats ? Question
Smells like its coming from the carb Sick

It just seems its just rusted away, and the back box does'nt seem that far away from going too Neutral
Of all the cars I've had and worked on, including the bike, this saxo is the most pain in the arse thing going !

Saxo`s are actually quite nice to work on, much better than xantias.

Do you get many "boy racers " in with their fully modified saxos which they've fecked up ?

I stuck a push button start to the mx5 when i had it, and "forgot" to disconnect the battery, causing the car, when i started it up to lock out the immobliser, and not allow me to start the car !
Had to get a tow truck to take me 30 miles to mazda, to have all the keys and the immobliser reprogrammed and allmost buggering up the ECU etc.. (according to mazda Wink )

yours ?
Always been wary of nitros, quite like the idea of sticking a super charger in the mx5 at one point... From 150bhp up to about 200bhp if I can remember.

Had a look, bit OTT but nicely done Thumbs Up
I hate it when they start putting vents and bloody big spoilers everywhere, If your going to mod it keep it simple and sweet not OTT.

BTW Are those eccotec valves any good ?

They do save you a bit on fuel and they don't do anything for performance at all.

C5`s are generally nice cars but they are very bland unless you get the V6.

I second that! Silly French cars and their silly pokey working space!

I had to put a new exhaust on the Pornmobile just a week ago on account of the back nbox having rusted through so badly the seam had worn through and I could get my hand in it Shocked. It's nice and quiet now though Thumbs Up

Tire sorted ! Thumbs Up
But it's strange how using the bike day in day out the novelty starts to wear off.
Thus today being halfday (overtime) I deiced to treat the neighbours to my loud choice in music to muffle the fact I aint got the back box on ! Twisted Evil
And now I'm going out to give the Ns a thrashing once the cops come around Police
( Barstard kids just set my neighbours fence alight, Fireman little_dick was the hero as ever !)
Supprising how fast those willow type fences go up in flames ! Mad

Still waiting for a bike but have got my four wheels already sorted. 1973 MG Midget soft top. True its old and not as fast as a modern thing, but can work on it myself and will only get more valuable as time goes on! (My Mum has had it at 90 before though, speedo runs out at 100)
Not sure about the citroens. Look quite cool but not really my cuppa tea. Prefer the old stuff. More simple.
