Saxo Sleepers

[smallboi90]

Im currently putting my VTR back to standard, and adding some newly purchased WESTcoast badges.

How could I get around installing airducts both for brakes and air intake without them being on show? I've only come up with putting them behind my front bumper grille.

take the glass off the fogs...;)

your returning it to standard? :S not much of a sleeper... or do you mean just looks?

[smallboi90]

I did think that, but does that not look obvious?

Also, was wondering what the back pressure is like with a straight through exhaust but a standard backbox.

Can imagine it's pretty strong and pops like a cherry ;)

yeah just looks sorry lol, only focusing on performance

Only if you have the manifold and straight through pipe it will pipe, mines de-catted but with standard mani and is silent.

IMO, Buy a 1.1 Flatarch, and 16v it. That will be a sleeper!

I've got 4-2-1 mani and is decatted (obviously) and currently have no baffles/wadding in backbox, rasps a lot and sounds nice, pops too, but not enough.

dont fancy going down the route of spark plugs/fuel injectors in the exhaust for the comic flames either lol:bump:

Is yours a MK1 or MK2 VTR?

[samueljonburgess]

o rite... just take glass out the fogs like said :) what sort of brakes/power are you runnin? :)

[smallboi90]

its a mk2

and thanks frankie, they look pretty subtle, do they both go to brakes?

Im thinking of having fogs for brakes and one hidden in grill for my induction

[frankie]

ive not yet finished them, as i need to repaint them...

they will be when i get some spare time.

[smallboi90]

im running standard brakes at the moment, only vented but they seem to be getting pretty hot due to fast road use, will eventually uprate them but wanted to try ducts anyway.

im pushing 120bhp at the moment, not a lot but only have cams manifold and enclosed induction

what did you do with your fog light wires?

remove them or secure them for possible future use?

[frankie]

removed them and just taped the plug up to stop water getting in...

and yea, can be used in the future

[samueljonburgess]

thats not bad :) and ye guna say id uprate brakes first as you dont wanna cool the standards to perfect temp, then change brakes and not be able to get them up to temp.

obv this depends on if its just a road car or road/track

[smallboi90]

she will be out on the track in the future, would like to say near future but doubt that will happen lol.

theres a lot of talk about these green stuffs but ive also heard they cook pretty quickly, you had any experience of them?

i could always block up the ducts when i uprate brakes, depending on what my power is at that time

[samueljonburgess]

ive got green stuff on front and rear... really good pads i think never had problems.

only issue ive had is after a good time have to leave car in gear to stop it rollin down the drive where the brakes cool

[frankie]

yellow stuff are spose to be quite good, green being wank.

i would imagine as a first time tracker you'd cook the brakes no matter one, just down to in experience...

and i doubt the home made brakes ducts would be amazing...

what pipes did you use for your ducts? can you buy them on ebay?

[frankie]

merlin motorsport.

google it and just browse the site, easy enough to find, only got them from there as college is next door

Not much of a sleeper. Will get pumped by most things on the road

Save your money and 16v it ;)

It gives you a better platform to mod on, 120bhp as standard, could cam it, remap, exhaust, breathing mods, easily 150bhp achievable IMO.

No point in modding a 8v, I learnt the hard way and wasted alot of money.

start with a 1.1 shell with wheel trims en and a dogs not just for christmas sticker on the window
