You would have to have had your head in buried 6ft under ground for the last 2 years not to know the bottom saxo.
LOL.
That would be Robs old saxo. Now sold.
its a VTS, now i believe on hydrolics, and no it doesnt have that BHP..
But you will find all over the internet of people taking cars and faking figures and names. Mine comes up everywhere under different names and stupid figures!

I believe i drive the most heavily magazine and tv featured saxo in the country....
THATS not for sure though, but it must be up there ;)
It was a humble 1.1 Eastcoast.
Its now just a VTR engine with goodies, nothing special as its more show than go smileys/smiley4.gif

Do you have any pics? I'll probably recognise it then?
How do you guys afford to do all these things to your cars? I drive a VTS nice and nippy but never seem to have money to do what i want to it?
Pics would be great.

coz a gti 180 lump would cost shite loads lol im lookin at a non-expensive sorta thing ya see, coz im only 19 and a gti 180 lump would make my insurance shoot up a shed load!! a 1.6 16v 206 engine as good as a saxo VTS engine???

just ring up and get some quotes..
U dont actually move in terms of insurance groups...
you still stay the same group just becomes a modified block
my vtr has jus had a vts conversion as u may have seen in other posts! not 2 expensive as me and my mate did everything!!!its just the vts has a few thing that the vtr doesnt which affects how it runs! i didnt no that bout the insurance group thing tho!
