Craziest Saxo ever?!

Just came across this by accident on Ebay (I wasn't searching for Saxos, honest!).

I am not really sure what to make of it. Certainly sounds like a considerable feat of engineering!

Ruined by the silly body kit

[dibblecorse]

Superb ...

[gareth.e]

bodykit is a bit gay

And I also think hes slightly overstated the power..

[Baryonyx]

Years ago this type of awful chav wagon would have been considered aspirational to the Max Power crowd.

[hornetrider]

Wow, I wasn't expecting that interior, fair do's.

I wouldn't though - not even with yours.

[rpguk]

Love it in theory, but can imagine it being somewhat flawed in practice. Driving position is interesting to say the least.

Surprised it's so cheap and seems to be passed on a bit quickly.

Sorry PistonHeads.

I rather like it.

[rhinochopig]

Why does the driver have to sit in a Mamas and papas child seat?

Seen twin engines car before but never quite understood the concept of how they work together. Anyone care to explain?

Bought. The word is bought.

Why am I not at all surprised?

Hello Mr Insurance. I'd like a quote on my Saxo please.

Certainly sir, is the car standard?

No, it has a couple of mods. Firstly, it now has 2 engines...

Click.

Hello? Hello?

Not much to it.. gearbox, clutch pedals and throttles linked.. 2 keys 2 ignitions that about it

[Tobias Funke]

"still registered as 1400 westcoast"

All that money spent and he's still too tight to pay the extra tax (of course all mods will be fully declared to his insurance company).

Generally completely unlinked as they don't need to be, contrary to popular opinion. So engine 1 does its own thing and the front, and engine 2 does its own thing at the back. The only connection is the road. The only common bit is typically the gear lever.

In some of the more complex set-ups, they use an aftermarket ECU, so you can do clever stuff with yaw control and g sensors.

Bodykit aside it's not that bad surely and the central driving position is pretty bonkers. Must make getting a McD's drive through (this vehicles natural habitat) a nightmare!

[aka_kerrly]

In all fairness I began reading the advert and thought it was reasonably well written using English so perhaps it's not going to be the usual bullst.

The bodykit is no where near as extreme as the majority of the saxos around, the engines and running gear appear well selected and to a good specification so it was looking good BUT then It all went wrong as soon as I read "it's still registered as a 1.4 west coast for cheap insurance"

I remember seeing the ebay link forit posted up when it was still unfished, as is shown in one of the pics. Fair play to them, i bet its very fast, and the bodykit isnt that bad...
