teesside autodrome also do track days and is prob a bit closer. good choice of car imo. my mate had a yellow ax gti years ago with a vtr bottom end on and that thing was rapid.

If its set up properly it will fly mate. Decent suspension, brakes, and tyres and it will be a fun little track toy

[blackie_2k5]

its just standard apart from the engine, one of me mates bought it with another vtr lump in, had it a few weeks and fucked it lol, thought it was head gasket but it mustnt ov been cos me other mate bought it off him and he put a new lump in,(hes not the type of kid that would fork out for a new lump lol) and his step dad fitted cos he own his own garage, but its a flying machine now for what it is,

Use the winter to get some suspension and brake mods done then. ;)

many of the parts are the same as the 106 and saxo

[blackie_2k5]

hahaha was a bout to ask something quite dumb there lol, "how pricey are engine mods for the ax" its already got a vtr lump in hahaha, do they run decent on the stanard alloys or better with steelies

[andywiddss1]

is it on 3 stud wheels or 4 mate

[blackie_2k5]

not too sure m8 to be honest ive never looked lol, why u ask?

[andywiddss1]

if its 4 stud then every thing same as vtr . if not then harder to get brakes wheels ect

[blackie_2k5]

think its 4 stud like, not sure so? how much do the ax gti standard alloys fetch? there mint cond polished

[andywiddss1]

not sure mate

[williamsvts]

it'll be 3 stud if its got standard AX wheels on. get some vt* front suspension and rear beam on.
