Im driving a Saxo VTR as a stage Rally car in Ireland at the minute. The car is perfect apart from i find the car slugish taking off in 1st gear.

Just woundering is there anything i can do to increase the response i get in the lower gears?

s1 rallye box, 1.4 xsi box.
With the first one though you'll be doing 105mph in 5th on the limiter which may or may not suit a rally stage

Id say the s or s2 rallye behest compromise

Don't want to be spinning up all over the shop

Think i might try the Vts box that i have and see what difference it makes. Also looking for parts for the car.... They are very hard to find in Ireland. Looking for Front headlights. Passanger tail light, Front grill, 2 wishbones, 2 front shocks (without the springs would do) If anyone can help me out or send me in direction of someone who would deliver to Ireland would greatly appreciate it.

VTS box isn't a bad choice dont get me wrong. Those parts should be easy to find on here, wishbones are straight from a motorfactors. Shocks though, I'd have thought you'd be running rally spec stuff such as peugeot sport etc?

Yea the shocks are for a standard car. Its mainly lights and panels i need for the Rallycar.
