SRowells Black Rallye

[Eeyore]

okay time for an update!

So the car has been with Carl Chambers for a few weeks now and he has been fitting it around other jobs to keep the costs down. Ive had no need for the car so this works for me as well. 

Cambelt
Replacement Aux Belt and Pulleys
Oil Leak - Camshaft seals replaced
Rust Chassis Front
Raise Rear beam and fit anti roll bar caps
Replace Radiator
Replace Battery Cable
Replace Rack Gaiter
Fit fuel tank exhaust shield
Refit and align N/S Headlight
Tracking
Balance and reseal wheels
Exhaust Blowing
Fit Gear Robs

It then went through its MOT and passed with the following advisories,
 - steering pivot point has slight play nearside inner.... so that will be ball joint which wil be fixed when i fit my seam welded subframe.
 - Tack rod end ball joint as slight play offside.

Total cost... £450 and £40 for the MOT which is extremely reasonable. That includes the £85 Rallye AUX pulley kit as my pulleys were cracked. I supplied the parts for the cambelt swap. So a few pictures... picking it up from chambers who now has containers filled and topped with cars!



and once i got to work at the watersports centre.





So yeh. Got it back now! Done a few hours driving in it and its good fun. Saab has ruined how fast it feels and youve got to keep it up around 5k to rinse the power out of it. Im sure it will be all good on track. Carl didnt fit the baker bm top engine mount as it looked a bit small almost like a 205 one. Ill check it out as i think baker bm now have an updated one. Im ill at the moment and spent the last 36 hours in bed. Hopefully ill find some time to throw the buckets and omp wheel in it to make it feel a bit more track like.
