Hi all I have just bought a 2001 2.5 TD engine for my project car and it has bliston shocks and lowering springs but it too low for me so I was wondering can I get springs that can be adjusted once I have them fitted but not too expencive .

[humbucker]

Do you mean adjust height or ride comfort? Or both? Yellow Koni's for stiffening up the ride? Or softening it!

[sax-p]

For both height adjustmemt and better drive !!!!

[o-meg-a]

For both height adjustmemt and better drive !!!!

You'd be talking coilovers......and unless you have over £1000 to spend....i would say that ride height adjustment is not an option.


adjustable dampers are though

Right it is about time I Trevor, update with pics, dad doesn't have a clue how to.

Will do this update in what happened first.
First
Got my 02 saxo for €390. My first car.



Then something runs in the family.


Second.
The tire on the estate went on the inside, my dad broke and the car went flying right. So spare on and away we go.




Third.
Nothing to do with the 04, sort of anyway 





This is how it came.

Now.



Does anyone know the car, because,


The number plate is,


The fella I bought it in Antrim, Was Nathan Coyle.

Dad toke it for a drive,


We got 8 wheels with the car.



So my dad set about just there about ten minutes ago,


Thanks Trevor

P.S Nathan, if by any chance you are reading this, please just answer my calls, if I get the exhaust, I will make it quits. Thanks, but if anyone knows him please tell him.

Cleaned the estate and saloon today,

Also my dad told me I could practise to drive for the first time in the 2.5, I know, WTF??. Letting me in a 183bhp car for the first time.  Anyway, car is in one piece, and I am having fun driving up and down the drive 

Sorry bout no work done on the 04, as we are working on my saxo, My dad has spent the last three days on these,
From this

Got a exhaust for the 2.5 today.




Also just got back my wheels from sand blasting, what is the next thing to do with the wheels, i.e., what primer, alu paint etc.

Thanks Trev

183 bhp 2.5? cdx turbo? what did i miss?! 

less pics of the saxo though if you dont mind, it's ruining the view of all the omega bits

Not much as we are working on my saxo atm. The 2.5 is running fine as I am learning to drive in it up and down the drive.  Also did you ask for more pics of the saxo

[sax-p]

Hello, just wondering could someone help us,  We need a oil cap for the 2.5 td and can not get one, its the square yellow one, also we need the engine cover as that is missing, If any one has one that they will sell me, thanks in advance.
