Hi, this is my VTR

[Lukey_Folkz]

Hi everyone. I've been on here before looking for advice but only recently joined this.

Just saying hi and this is my current car, and my second Saxo :y:

What do you all think? It's got a couple of mods:
Lowered 40mm (spax VSX)
Cat-back
K&N Induction Kit
Tinted rear windows

Any more anyone can suggest? I'm open for idea's lol. I just don't want to go OTT, want it to look standard-ish ;)

I'm new to the site to. 1thing I am planning to do is remap it. I don't think it's that expensive, and there will photo ably be someone on the site that can do it.

Hi, and I have looked into that, well a chip anyway. I work in a tuning garage for evo's and got my boss to look up a chip for my Saxo and it £250 from superchips but it only worth 6BHP. Granted though that's not technically a re-map. You got any engine mods on your? because you need some to get the best from a re-map. Plus gotta find someone that could do it :)

[Gunny110]

No, no mods as of yet. I only got the car Friday. I had a look on eBay and found 1 for 150. Looked in to it and it takes the car from 90bhp to 103 (without mods) and with a remap it will give you the power through out the hole rev range.

[Lukey_Folkz]

Oh right, that's for the mk1 then, what would it do for the mk2 98bhp one? :D

[Gunny110]

The mk2 has 98bhp? I didn't no that lol. Cool, iv got 8bhp more than I thought lol.

Welcome :D Sax is looking good and in good condition! :y:
Dont know too much on what you can do to keep it standard-ish but modified too.. set of nice alloys maybe?

a nice subtle drop of maybe 40mm or so possibly on some nice alloys?
glossed bumpers/bumpstrips?

Don't chip a VTR, it's pointless.

Gunny110, yours will be 90bhp as its a crossover year.

For power, just do decent breathing mods, I.e, decent induction, mani, cat back, decat etc
Also, get some 266mm brakes as the standards are wank.

[Gunny110]

Thanks ray, was getting abit confused. I don't see how chips work to be honest. Every engine is different. I don't trust just pluging something in to your car and going yep all done. When if you get it mapped it sits on a dyno with an experienced mapper mapping it to get the best out of the car.

[rey]

Exactly.

But if you want to map it etc, then do breathing stuff first, chuck a cam in there then map it.

[Gunny110]

Ok ray, what cams do I put on the car, and how hard is it to do?

[rey]

Depends what you're after dude.

Best bet is to look in the engine/performance section :y:

I just replaced the whole air box and intake for a simple to fit £15 cone filter on ebay. Sounds much better and goes a little quicker too. Also by removing the resonator it spits and pops like an angry scotsman

[Gunny110]

Resonator?

Thanks :D have been thinking of alloys. Been looking at OZ's, any others that you think would look good?

Lol, I don't think the brakes are too bad on it. But I would get better pads when they need doing though :) And I've got a cat-back, so it's just the mani left, which would de-cat it anyway. What's a good make of manifold and exhaust?
