My track saxo VTS

[moxy89]

Right here is my thread based upon my saxo VTS that will be used purely on weekends and track days. I purchased it over 2 years ago making it very OEM+, then after a session at rockingham there was only one outcome.

here how it started with the OEM+ look, i loved it and still looked and handled very well.





Now things have changed.. and more plans will be occuring over the winter involving a GARRET!!!!












Spec.

Engine wise
GRP N engine mounts
Jp4 cam covers
421 manifold
Piper full system (de cat)
Green panel filter

Suspension
Fully polybushed
Lowered 40mm using billie B8's

Interior.
1x cobra evoltuion S.

Can ran 126.7bhp with just the manifold, so its a very healthly engine and other standard VTS's were running 116.bhp so was a reliable rolling road... Next week areo catches and larger anti roll bars..

Looks nice as well .

[chrisispringles]

That looks like a riot

Looking forward to updates.

Flower garland touch looks good!

its go to attract the ladies some how.. haha...

have a full SD cage in my room and then it will be engine work.. However saving for a mk1 focus RS aswell, at 21 the insurance isnt so friendly so just have to save a bit harder

That will be an absolute hoot to drive!

Did insurance increase much with mods?

Top work


Never really been into Saxo's partly because a mate has a cammed VTS and it breaks rather alot with only 70K on the clock he doesn't rag it either it's just cursed !


Sounds like a good project though Keep the thread updated.

[Strachan]

There was another vts project here can't remember the name of the OP, sure someone will have it bookmarked...

[moxy89]

im with brentarche all my mods are free.... so is awesome. i just phone up and tell them what i have done and they insure it... have a fair few bits under my bed waiting to be fitted but ill upload photos when i have fitted them..

[moxy89]

Been working on the car alot as i blew the box to pieces, not ideal, so it been off the road until i got a new box,. (picked one up today)

So got to work over the last month, cage to be welded in next week if funds allows, couple of mates birthdays so a lot of beer is needed..

So anyway updates

24mm ARB
106 door bins
VTS gearbox with 58K awaiting LSD
Areo catch.
2.5inch BTB exhuast system (rare as rocking horse poo)














all i need now is a GARRET mmmmmm

[Baryonyx]

And to get rid of that crap hanging off the rear view mirror!

[moxy89]

Was removed yesterday.. Really not ideal getting in the way

[moxy89]

unfortanly the car has been sold, it was not suitable and was in need of a lot of work, New track project will be coming in MARCH, with boost, and lots of it

[Mastodon2]

Hold on, you started a track project, but gave up because you didn't want or couldn't afford to do the work it needed, now you are looking at another track project?

Madness!

[PaulG40]

So what are you getting for its replacement?

I must admit, abit wierd getting rid of what is a good base track car, i assume the turbo idea was abit too much work required but guess you must have your reasons?

So any hints on what the new one will be?

[moxy89]

far from guys, slammed on the brakes and the seat ripped out the floor, the shell was in a state.... Next track project is a leon cupra R. Bit different from the little nibble saxo but got it a for a fantastic price!!!

[Baryonyx]

The Saxo is a nice little car, great chassis and peppy little engine. The Leon Curpa R is in a whole different league though, they can be modded up for some pretty serious power and I expect they'd be great fun to bang round a track.
