So there you have it, watch out wallet here I come! :flush:

And heres some of the things I'm thinking of adding:

A VTS engine conversion, strut brace, bigger injectors, big disc conversion and thinking of throwing a turbo in the mix, what ya lot think?.

Anyway I was also thinking at 2 o'clock in the morning no less about boring the engine out to atleast an 1.8 standard, is it worth it?

And can anyone tell what sort of power gains I can to get from all this no matter how big or small?

rally mudflaps on a kitted car.....hmm unsure on that mate, is it staying standard height?

what about wheels?

Well I wanna lowwer it about 40mm so yeah lol forget the flaps, and as for wheels gunna have the MAK 5R at 16" in white with some Yokohama s-drive tyres :P

[Baz]

got it pretty much all sorted out then, however i bet my car that it will change lol

[mod2max]

lol well brand names maybe, but when i finally have the car, the first day it goes on the road it will be modded :y:

[Baz]

starting to buy now then?

[Barry123]

my answer would be:

dont do it...

[liam_b]

you cant bore the saxo engine out the walls are thin enough as it is if i was you i would think about geting a vts lump in striping the hole car and turboing it

[Saxy1]

Thats a long list lol :y:

[PRICEY-VTS]

you been on the richbrooke website mate if you are buying buy brand you want momo mate e.g steering wheel,handbrake+gatior,gearknob+gatior etc only thing momo dosent do it a egnition start, start small mate dont get your mind set to high on certin things cos most of the time you will get sick off your first car av been there then look bk on what aye created and dident like it hope this has helped bud

[jaybiss]

good luck with insurance, youll be lucky to get insured on a vtr yet alone a modded one

[JimoVTR]

Hang on - you want a VTR

but your gonna chuck a VTS engine in it?

Just a get a VTS - obvious really

[David]

dude... you're wasting your money in my opinion....

[Yates]

bore to a 1.8 lol aint happening think the walls are too thin...

theres a few things here and there id think about

you want a top notch sound system, go all out on front speakers and leave the 6x9s

no engine mods if you want to put vts lump in, bare in mind that will cost you around 1k, then turbo plus 5k. you may get problems with s engine, tbh your better off in that department just buying an s

i cant be arsed to say anymore

[jaybiss]

there are loads of little things i wouldnt bother with or would advise against in that list

remember your 17, you want a proper well known boy racer car, your insurance will be high as fuck standard, then when you mod it your insurance will go up even more

better off with a 1.4 or maybe even a 1.1 get a years no claims and go from there

[dsh85]

ive rounded the list down to the genral 17 yr old!

Richbrook Tax Disc Holder
Sparco Grip Pedal Pads
Selected Interior Parts Silver Respay

Type VR Anodised Wiper Blades 20"
Racing Small Design Mesh
Calipers Respraied Red

Urban X Rally Flaps

Sportex 6" backbox


dude that stuff costs shit loads, your main concern will be insurance as its a killer at that age, then theres the running expense that becomes something new! gordon brown loves the driving public when it comes to the works christmas party

[Yates]

danny he needs that 15cm back box we seen

[mod2max]

lol thanks peeps but um, I aint doing this to my first car I currently have my Mcbeast of a VSX :P which I love I do try to forget about the new emgine gearbox and other things and the 125,000 miles on the clock although its not so), all the stuff on the list is for when I have a VTR in about a year and probably 6 months time if not 2 years lol.

Oh and the whole insurance thing aint a problem, thanks Adrian Flux.

And the idea of a VTS engine in a VTR is to hopefully get anyway with a lower insurance group :P

But thanks for all you advise guys :y:

[Scattle]

Sounds like some good plans you have there matey, good to see once it will be finally completed.

[bullit]

that list is pants. enigine mods made me laugh. i think you need a big rethink and learn some stuff on here before making ant decisions

And what if you crash it, You cant hide a engine rly especially one that has 16v all over it.

bigger injectors

need standalone manage ment add about £700 for that.

Tbh i dont think you have thought it through at all, you wont do half that stuff. Your just dreaming imo, and that setup isnt very good even if you werent.

[liambez]

I agree with David Waste of time and money really
