Just joined as im thinking of getting a Saxo as a project....looking to totally strip one to make it into a mad hillclimb car:cool:

Any advice or project threads to read would be welcome!!

Thanks

If you're going to do hill-climbs it might be worth looking at the classes before you decide to buy, that may influence what you buy & what you do with it. I bought a 1.6 VTS & stripped it out only to find that because it wasn't 'standard' I would be in a class with up to 3L cars. You might be better getting a 1.4 because again the 1.6 even in standard form will be up against 2L cars.

I'm not to worried about the classes...don't mind going in the over 2000 class or libre!!

Just need to figure out how what to put in it to be quick enough
