Don't take offence....buy a real one! VTS ftw!!!!!!!!!!!1

Says the person with the westie lol

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

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

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

my saxo speedo goes 120 ?

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

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

Making my saxo 1.1 faster;

Engine conversion is the only way that makes sense.

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?



oh and 115 out of a 1.1? hahhahahahaha.

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:

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.

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

aye thats if youve got the wind behind you.

has anyone ever cammed a 1.1 i have it got 100bhp

after reading this thread im now depressed thet i only ever had 95 in my furio on flat:(

A 1.1 at 100mph feels like the Columbia Space Shuttle on re-entry

i corrected that for you ;)

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