Ok, it's not fitting an exhaust or drilling holes for the shifter relocate but it gives me a bit more space to do it.

Btw, in case anyone cares, front doors are 32kg each, rears are 26kg

Youre scrapping a yellow one?
Sacrilege!

I wanted yellow but the only one for sale at the time i was looking was out of my budget.
In its defence though, it didn't have sun fade.

To be fair it had died from a wet ECU (who at VAG thought "Yeah, the delicate electronics'll be fine in one of the wettest places of a car"?) so it wasn't long for this world anyway.

It used to belong to someone who frequented this forum many moons ago

Arse!
Snapped belt tension damper bracket, so that will be the alternator freewheel seized, again.
On the bright side, fleabay sourced tensioner in a Dayco box arrived containing a nice shiny new Litens tensioner (as used by SEAT) for £22 inc postage.
£20 for a nearly new bosch freewheeled alternator at the scrappy.
Best of all it was in one of those VW seat alhambra thingys, alternator on top of the engine.
No grovelling in wet oily mud & dogsh1t.

When will the Beast from the East 2 bugger off, so I can fit it?

Just sold the old saxo race car. And just been picked up. Bit of a sad moment as I have been racing the car for about 10 years. The car and all the spares now gone. But gives me loads more road in the workshop.

The car was a beast. Was able to chase and beat civic type R at times.

Went for a drive with a buddy and got a bit excited. Went into a corner a bit fast and got brake oversteer :LOL: good thing i know how to catch the back end lol

Then on the way home had a quick race a with an old Evo, got understeer then oversteer at like 50mph, caught the back end again but kept up with the evo o_O
