Says the person with the westie lol

Not everyone can afford to run and insure a VTS you know.

foxon 9th April 2010 20:44

Why are some people like get a vtr and everything lol im sure if he could afford one he would have one the same as me but he is tryin to make the most of what hes got. i have a 1.1i and a 1.5d i would prefer to have a vtr but my finances and my points are stopping me

lincslad 10th April 2010 13:55

when i blew my engine like a tit in my 1.1 i hade the clock but like said previously no clock shows the true reading just a guideline and for me to do the clock i had no rear seats no plastics in the rear or anything not even a spare tire i even took out the " optional" extras from the engine bay to do the clock. believe me there is no point in modding a 1.1 to do serious speed.

modding to look good and sound good is totally different id rather look good and sound good than knackering up my engine as i previously found out. to go quick get a bigger engine and mod that to go quicker

so so so so true.
I know my car's only a 1.1, and i know i should be shameful of this lol.
But it'll beat a lot of cars off ht eline due to having no weight; i couldnt give a shit about anything faster than lets say.... 60; cause any car on the road can beat that tbh.
Everyone can say ' oh i beat a 3.0 audi the other day ' but a lot depends on the driver rather than the car.

I'd listen to everyone else, get a vtr/s

Im saving up for an A3 or 1 series next year :D

nathgvtr 19th April 2010 17:28

if you dont want to buy a vtr/s i imagine a vtr conversion would cost no more than about £600, and a vts conversion maybe closer to £800 parts and labour

Jamie 19th April 2010 17:39

Making my saxo 1.1 faster;

Engine conversion is the only way that makes sense.

i manage to keep up if not beat most my friends and they got 1.2 ka, 1.4 hyundai, 1.3 micra, 1.4 206, 1.25 fiesta.

im sure the ka is a 1.3

I've not read the whole topic - apologies - I'm a bit drunk and lazy...

Just had thoughts though...

Why not fit a VTS/GTi rear axle on poly mounts, with GTi 25mm ARB, and billie B8 shocks, slightly lowered.

You get the discs at the rear.

Then you get the B8 fronts, solid tops and 155 faulkner springs, lower strut brace.

Then you get the GTi wheels and some sticky rubber.

You've got an awesome handling car you can learn to drive properly at safer speeds, and as your experience grows, because the car is modular, you can simply mod the engine because your chassis will be sorted!! As and when funds/insurance allows it.

You can have your cake and eat it - it's loads of fun skipping round the outside of people on roundabouts because you've not had to brake!!

...orrr alternativly drive it off dover cliffs.

Gotta add about 50 brake atleast innit?

the ka is its got the 1.3i 8v endura tappet engine in, thats the only one they put in it apart from the street ka or what ever crap it is in the silly girl cars lol

n im going off like everyone else, 100 and odd in a 1.1? wtf i got to 115 in my old escort 1.4 and i shit myself at that speed, most i've got to in my vtr so far is 80? and when i brake i shit myself cause of how much the car shakes and rattles so with the brakes on a 1.1, you're just plain silly and have a death wish tbf. 1.1s were made for little round trips and that, thats what all small engined cars are for, not for going fast and sporty type, if you want fast then get a bigger engine hence why there is the vtr and vts?? duh simples

sorry rant over people :panic:

GTJames 20th April 2010 10:39

Ok simple answer, run your 1.1 about. save up and gain no claims and then buy a vtr instead or save a little more and buy a vts. Instead of adding things to a 1.1 thats going to cost alot and not really do alot. You will see this from alot of people on here. Its just common sense.

Killeybh 20th April 2010 21:24

113 out of 1.1? top speed 103 or summin like that aint it?

GTJames 20th April 2010 22:39

aye thats if youve got the wind behind you.

c20xejay 20th April 2010 22:49

Mikol 4th May 2010 22:13

cut a hole in the metal on the floor under the throttle pedal then you can push it further.

Zombie thread revival.

(Also, I think he was taking the piss)

RustySkull 2nd December 2010 20:23

My 1.1 does

1st = 35
2nd = 60
3rd = 75
4th = 100
5th = 100+ (I don't wana go over 100 = Instant Ban if caught)

Changing gear at about 5,000RPM

I have induction kit, breathing mods, Full Exhaust System (4-1 Piper Manifold, Standard VTR Center Section and a Group N BackBox.)

Neither of my Lamber Sensors are plugged in, I don't think that makes a difference but I found it made it run richer due to the ECU being like Ehh? I'll just keep throwing fuel in then lol. Which made it accelerate much quicker :)

MK2 1.1, 65,097Miles.

This bit makes no sense at all.

Random amounts of more fuel does not equal more performance, only more fuel wasted and falling out your exhaust.

Your car will not accelerating quicker by starving the ECU of the sensors it needs.

Very true, it's worse than a Tank for Fuel lol Hence why I don't drive it now lol :fcuk:

Sophia_Bush 2nd December 2010 21:29

my 1.1 hits the limiter in 5th without trying all I've done is it fit an induction kit

Kai 3rd December 2010 09:57

Well my 1.1 5 door mpi did at least 97.3 mph but that wasn't redlining, AND i've got a speed ticket from an undercover to prove it :(

Not really, was a generally nice chap :) Hold no grudges, has stopped me driving like a dick tbh. Don't get me wrong we all speed from time to time, and while it was on the motorway it was still rash!

Dane1 6th December 2010 01:55

my saxo tends to get to about 102 then starts to shake!!
the manual says it can get to 101 so its about right so theres no way it can get to 113 or what ever people are saying here. unless they have been doing some serious modifiying

Dane1 6th December 2010 01:57

You can put a induction kit in it
& exhaust & what ever

Theres still no getting away that it is a 1.1 unless you get a VTR engine and stick it in there. that would be good
