most asked performance mod on saxp

[dj_enzo]

Having a chat with my mrs about whats the performance mod asked about on this site?

[Giraffe]

Wait wait wait, why on earth would you be chatting to your missus about that? Is conversation really that dire?

[wadoryu]

Exhaust of some sort, probably decat pipe.

[Sam]

Wiring a Flux Capacitor up correctly!

Its a very random conversation to be having with the misses.

[dj_enzo]

not really if you know my mrs she's a little petrol head at heart

[MrChris]

I reckon air filter setup

[rick_VTR]

got to be "how do i make my exhaust pop and bang more?"

or "my idle is lumpy, is my car cammed?"

[AXracing]

as Sam said above Flux Capacitor but also Ebay chips and other ebay scams are right up there

[Simon]

eBay electric supercharger

[dj_enzo]

got to be "how do i make my exhaust pop and bang more?"

or "my idle is lumpy, is my car cammed?"

title says performance not how to kill my performance lol i know what you mean tho hahaha

[Jay_]

Suspension

"hw du i l0w3r mi m0t0r blUd?"

"torsion bar lowering help needed"

"Who can lower my rear beam"

etc etc etc

[dj_enzo]

Suspension

"hw du i l0w3r mi m0t0r blUd?"

i pissed my pants at that

[m11ler]

As above, definitely suspension. How low should I go, what on, how, who etc..

[piranhamatt]

even though its not exactly performance:

"Can anyone post a picture of a 1.1 with a VT kit on it"..

[dj_enzo]

I mean like genuine people who have a clue. Not your normal 13 year old kid who thinks a computer fan in a tube would make your car go faster

[blackie_2k5]

Wait wait wait, why on earth would you be chatting to your missus about that? Is conversation really that dire?

hes clearly a troll looking to annoy someone by posting shit..


ban him :panic:

[iVTR]

You are joking?

Needs lowering.

[DanTvts]

I reckon suspension too, but do see a lot of turbo threads that of course amount to nothing.

[LSOfreak]

lowering definitely!
seeing as the standard ride height it probably the worst thing about any saxo. A bit of lowering makes a huge difference

[Tom5190]

''got a few questions about an engine conversion''.................

[RobVT]

"Do VTRs have more torque" "my car does 60 in second"

[Aly]

Quite a few people asking about gearboxes.

[willashcroft]

Lowering seems pretty popular.

Then again, a standard height saxo looks like aids.

[Cam]

Boost and conversion dreamers, lowering as said also.

Or posts like pics of said mrs...;)

[Manu]

Lots of idiots in flatarches changing their exhaust just for the bangs and pops.

[willashcroft]

[Prickle]

"My Saxo has poor idling. Has it been cammed/cam"

:homme:

[logic_guy]

^^ "My Saxo has its arse up in the air, but I'll use the excuse that its sitting on a hill" ^^

[mlawlan69]

Conversion won't start is another common one on here

But suspension questions win hands down.

[Prickle]

^^ "My Saxo has its arse up in the air, but I'll use the excuse that its sitting on a hill" ^^

What you chatting, chief?

[e8_pqck]

turbo for me, maybe i notice them more but they always seem to appear when i click the lastest posts button.

[LSOfreak]

it seems torsion bar suspension baffles alot of french car owners then :D

[Giraffe]

I voted pistons just to be the only one.

[dj_enzo]

Wow i seriously thought turbo would win hands down but suspensions kicking it arse lol. I should have also put off the shelf mod/bolt on upgrade.

[RustySkull]

It's got to be exhaust and Airfilter lol

[jones91]

For me it's the "what exhaust system is best" I always see posted up

[Ross]

If I had a pound every time I got a pm asking for help boosting an engine I'd be able to afford premium membership by now.

And if I had to PAY a pound for every time that car ended up boosted, i'd STILL be rich. Dreamers...

[rick_VTR]

get a vts

Its going to get lowered, not by alot though. I have this ramp to deal with before i get in my drive -

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8360/8340890443_f78646d396_b.jpg

[MartinObviously]

That's quite a steep ramp there!

I'd just buy fatter tyres to fill the arch gap lol

[Prickle]

It is :(

I'll have to tackle it at an angle i recon..

Dont think the council will make a smaller kerb in. Would be ideal though..

[Jay_]

What do you want me to say?

That you will carry bricks with you as a temp fix :oops:

[MartinObviously]

If it's an access that's been there for a long time and it's recognised as a driveway the council are obliged to put in a dropped kerb.

Unless English laws are fucked up as I know some of their council ones are :P

My driveway has a peak at the end, exhaust sometimes just catches on it and my GTI is only lowered 50mm :panic:

Its been a drive for 10yrs. (was a yard so that may stop us them changing it. I havent looked into it :/ )

You pikey bastard lol

[Prickle]

You pikey bastard lol

Lol, im no pikey. Far from it. There used to be wood ramps but they never last long.

Do what you gotta do to keep your motor from vandals, lad. ;)

[Mr_X]

I can sympathise with you there.

Get the kerb dropped.

[blackie_2k5]

If it's an access that's been there for a long time and it's recognised as a driveway the council will put in a dropped kerb, however you have to pay for it..and its not cheap!

fixed for you

[Prickle]

What sort of prices is it looking to be?

edit; far too much.

[MartinObviously]

fixed for you

almost, but:

You only need to apply for permission from the council.

The council does not have to do the works - although you may find difficulty telling them this. The council should inspect the work after it's completed though.

Also depends if the road is council adopted or if it belongs to a housing association/private. private non council estates are much easier to get works done.

cheap cheap :y:

The cost is probably legal "protection" as the council call it, if someone trips and falls due to loose kerbstones etc and put a claim in.

[blackie_2k5]

Was going to cost around £1200 for a mate, that was subsidised by the council as well, you have to go pay for materials labour and tooling


You can do your work yourself as above.. But not advisable unless you can get stuff free tbh, as by the time you've paid for plans and submitted them, costed in materials (have to fit in with the rest of the street, and done the work, which has to be inspected by a council official at expense to you and must meet their approval

It easier just to get them to do it

Cost varies from council to council :p

Just take a saw to the kerb and cut a 30 degree slope on it.

We used to pass plans from office to office. stuff only got seen to about once a month- it was ok'd then passed back to admin who send it to legal and all this shite :P
