help please ??

Hi am new to all this saxo malaky, i havnt got one yet but before i do i jus need a few questions answered.

Being only 17 i cant get insured on a vtr or vts so was hoping to get a 1.4 which i can but i was jus wondering if i would be able to make it look like a vtr/s with arches and bumpers and so on if thats a possibility what would be involved in this.

thanks for your time

furio looks exactly the same as Vt* (suprised u havnt seen one considering ur having 1?)

with the exception of the wheels.

dont put Vt* badges on it tho

[jaybiss]

1.4swesties and furios come vt kitted mate

just the interiors are different and they have drums on the rear

oh and steelies too

[oli16V]

sure possible mate.... loads of lads even drive 1.1 saxos modded to a vts/vtr...

[potatopete]

A good start would be getting VTR or VTS alloys. Reasonably cheap too. Will look V.Smart!

[stusaxo]

oh rite nah wernt gonna badge it up but only 1.4s have seen are vsx nd sx or suttin

[jaybiss]

[stusaxo]

[Saxoladlesta]

Westie is a MK1

[jaybiss]

westie is a mark 1

furio mark 2

[Scott]

[sshaxx]

ive got a furio with VTS wheels and you cant really tell the difference till you look inside or drive it.

oh and ive taken the furio badges off and just left the saxo ones on.

i got me a vts with 1.1 badges lol

but whats this westcoast allabout??????

[Davekelz]

I had a VTR when I was 17 mate, had no problems with insurance. Try Quinn-Direct (http://www.quinn-direct.co.uk) for a decent quote.

its a 1.4 saxo with about 75 bhp but its better than a 1.1 and not as good as a VTR. just a kind of 'will do till i can get insured on a VT*' kind of car.


next person to say 'ferrari' is gay :P

[oli16V]

damn, i could have got me a ferrari to start, no problem in austria, but expensive tho :-)

[oli16V]

its a 1.4 saxo with about 75 bhp but its better than a 1.1 and worse than a VTR. just a kind of 'will do till i can get insured on a VT*' kind of car.
thanks for info but isnt the 1.4vtr 75bhp also???

[Saxoladlesta]

There isn't a 1.4 VTR over here :)

[sshaxx]

theres no such thing as a 1.4 VTR as far as i know, VTR's are 1.6 8v's, VTS's are also 1.6 but with 16v

the 1.4i furio and the westcoast both come as standard with the same bodykit that the VTR's and S's come with, minus the mirror caps (the colour coded things on your wing mirrors.)

[Viper]

vtr is 1.6 isnt it..

yep i hate them rather had nuthin on it you know the weight is important lol

[Saxoladlesta]

I know the imported version of the VTR is 1.4 but a UK VTR is 1.6 :)

[jaybiss]

in austria the vtr maybe a 1.4

also the vts is called cup in some places

:Y:

answering the original question, just buy a Furio (if you want the rounded Mk2 front end) or a Westcoast (with the Mk1 straighter, more bland front end) and change the wheels to make it look like a vtr or vts, they both already have the arches and kit off a VT* on them, dont badge it up tho cos you'll look a fool when you cant keep up to another vtr.

[oli16V]

get some diesel badges lol

[Dan]

nope, cup isnt vts :P


In some countries the 1.6 16v is called saxo cup.

[oli16V]

@dan
ok...always willing to learn :-)

[stusaxo]

lol yeah thanks alot looks like a westcoast is on the cards then thanks again
