anyone know where I could get a vts built like this?

also what do you think of it?

and is the 167bhp anygood?

[kenny]

my friend had one and he said it wasnt all that special tbh. wasnt as fast as he thought it would be and his was always breaking down.

[GrantW]

Its the same engine as the 306 GTi6, if thats any help lol.

[nazz1]

so it's best to go for the 306 gti-6 really

as the handling will be better right?

Did you have one brother?

[craigy_87]

he sure did

[craig180]

It's a good engine but let down by the gearbox from what I've heard. The gti-6 and rallye box is a straight fit

Seriously underrated cars though (edit - Leeroy beat mr to it!)

Stiff the suspension up and a decent handling car too

[nazz1]

306 rallye in white, fair play thats smart

whats the difference between the 306 gti-6 and the rallye?

both 167bhp right...

[Wayne]

i quite like citroen xsara's, pretty decent cars.

[leeroybrown]

same as the 306 then, was it really quite bad or acceptable? the amount of fuel it drank i mean

[leeroybrown]

shocking

[craigy_87]

hmmm :S puts doubts into my head for the 306

[TypeRhys]

Nath, i saw onein Abergavenny the other night, im not sure if
it was an ex-works car, but it pulled up near my house and pulled away real fast sounding mint. it was the white and red version.

do you really want a new car ? you have only jus started to make some decent progress on your saxo....

[Jazz]

Not saying its bad or anything, but its the same insurance group (16) as a Renaultsport Clio, so its a no-no for me. :P

[nazz1]

rhys,

my insurance is up in april,

really fancy something quicker, so if there's anything about around that time I would consider it

but in reality will probably wait until this time next year

[KamRacing]

Not saying its bad or anything, but its the same insurance group (16) as a Renaultsport Clio, so its a no-no for me. :P

it'd be cheaper to insure the Xsara as its value is less

Very good cars. Basically a peugeot 306 but looks different.

Two ways you can get the look. Could either get an existing car resprayed or cover it with vehicle wrapping vinyl to completely change the outside which would be cheaper.

any ideas how much I would pay for the proper rally look

and tidy places to get it done

ahh but like kam said would be cheaper to insure as its cheaper to buy a good example of one of these rather than a clio sport

Yeah but you can't buy a Renaultsport Clio for a grand

My boyfriends best mate has one and loves it. It's definately quick and handles pretty well too. They are about 35mm lower than any other Xsara as standard anyway.

Check this out for your rally look http://cgi.ebay.fr/KIT-WRC-pour-XSARA-PH-1_W0QQitemZ190186843835QQihZ009QQcategoryZ131650QQ ssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

[leeroybrown]

i part ex'd my xsara for a clio sport never looked back really

Xsara is a good car..

Pulled like a train and made a class sound to

Just make sure the timing belt, water pump and tensioner has been done

[nazz1]

the saxo vts is quicker than a xsara vts 0-60

so where does the extra 40+ bhp differ

[leeroybrown]

xsara has 30ft more torque to

aint as quick off the line but up the rev range they are

will do now mate!

[Karl]

They make a lush noise due to a metal throttlebody and inlet manifold isnt it?

Well cheap good cars.
Bit crap that the timing belts need changing so frequently on them / GTi6.

[simon179]

They look gay old man thats never found love cars standard imo.

Heard they shift though.

[simon179]

is lowerd now an is awaiting the arival of fogs lol!

[leeroybrown]

You dont buy these cars for looks

I bought one as it was newer then a gti-6 had more toys and less miles

Honnestly with a modified air box and exhaust it shouldnt like it was eating the tarmac.

Wolf in sheeps clothing

[Raz]

[nazz1]

306 rallye

seems decent price
