Reply With QuoteDan i hope your not neglecting the old exploit mate? I fooking love that car, you seem to be playing with the mint all the time lol.
Had a few mishaps lately, nothing too bad but a few mini dramas lol.
You may remember my thread about my oil pressure going AWOL on hard right bends, and me reckoning it was a loose baffle. Well it wasnt, so i needed a spare oil pump/pickup which i retrieved from the Xploits old broken engine frome a year ago.
Back then said that piston3s ring lands had fallen off, again... and they had.
SO back on the Mint, i got the sump off... notice anything missing?
yep the oil pickup arm and strainer had broken clean off :S Never seen it before! was a little gobsmacked to say the least.
there it is !
cleaned a spare oil pump up inside and out and refitted it with a new gasket and replacement GT1 sump.
back on and sorted, pressures back to normal and what no.
next day cleaned the GT up with Teebag and Tim nice but Dim, spanking!
shame about its rusty bum hole, new bootlid in the pipeline
at MFN
Then later that night, pulled in for some petty, some Tesco99 as was too far from the nearest source of V-power, heard a noise and said to Titch "dont worry, if nothings fell off then it isnt broken..."
Shut the car off, fill up, go to start and CLUNK
Alternator pulley nut, the pulley and belt had come off ! Totally random, timing belt was sitting pretty still so Titch razzed me home and it was sorted in 10minutes and is fine still.
Titch's carbon slago
Andrew Flintoff in background...
Sorted some leak on the intake pipe and now its back to full health, must of been giving away 20hp until i sorted that!
Thanks

Love the carbon on the paxo!
Looking shexy SuperDan.
thats probably the only modified saxo i actually like, and dan everytime you post pics of that front end i just want to do it to mine! cracking look n good snaps!
Lovely GT, its all in the wheels!
Love your motor, it's immaculate. Never was keen on the colour but I think it's one that stands out the most.
That Saxo is pretty tidy too, gotta love the carbon!
Do you feel a plonker when you take pics like the one in tesco with your bonnets up?
Not saying you are :-)
I hate takin pics when people are looking.
Car looks good, Saxo is gash.
Was 1am sunday night Cat so it was effectively closed and no one about in Manny town, all lights off just we know 4 of the pumps are pay at the pump 24hr...
But TBH people can swivel. Thanks for the comments, i really like the Mint but it will probably have to go when i have the Xploit how i want it, the balls rolling with it dont fret! Im keeping the wheels though ha ha.
