Your on a forum full of saxo enthusiasts, people who will support you with your saxo, but, your VTR, its worth between £400 and £900, generously. . .

IF, your going to strap a load of stuff onto a car the value of it makes a huge difference.

I will do a really simple comparison using kam racing.

Saxo-
Supersprint exhaust - £291 (and thats the new stainless expensive one)

Clio 172-
Supersprint exhaust - £763

Do you think the clio exhaust costs that much more to manufacture?

The point i was getting it was, the saxo is really cheap old car, a spare engine can be picked up for £40 on here easily, if you break it who cares.
NO car you will ever own again will be as cheap to maintain and repair, and nothing will have so many aftermarket parts, and have them some readily available on the market.

If you want to have a car that pops and bangs on an omex, i wouldnt choose any other car as the base. The omex will cost more than any damage it can do. :')
