I currently have a mk1 saxo 1.1i as a project car with the intent of putting a vts engine in.
Firstly, i am on 3 stud atm but looking to do a front and rear axle conversion, does anyone know if the driveshafts are any different? or can the struts just be swapped over?
secondly does the vts engine bolt straight in or are there modifications required for mounting the engine ect. ?
any help would be appreciated, cheers, Ash.

3 stud driveshafts are different from 4 stud shafts. There are two types of 4 stud shaft, flat and tapered end. So depending on the struts you fit, youll have to get the correct driveshafts for them.

The drivers side engine mount is different on the 1.1 and needs the "sport" model mount bracket welding in.

Have a search, its been covered plenty of times. Loads of information out there :)
