Default saxo180 ***200bhp CARBON'D B16b PROJECT*** SPANNER IN THE WORKS #254
As some of you may know I recently sold my magazine cover featured VTS to make way for a more practical sports car.

The idea was to get hold of a good condition RX8 but that idea has now been ninned in favour of a new saxo project.

Pics of old car through it's various guises in the 5 years I owned it:

So, onto the new project...

Well the car is a MK1 VTS in black with a genuine 58k miles on it. It's currently a shell but that gives me the perfect excuse to start with a clean sheet!

The only mods it has so far is Spax suspension, full roll cage, LHD wiper set up (which was originally installed to make way for big trumpets on a TB set up) and a Streamline carbon fibre roof.

As it stands:

The Plan.

Well in a nutshell I want to produce a 200bhp n/a 1.6 to use on track and on the dragstrip. Being a n/a 1.6 means I have a decent chance of dominating group a.

How will I get 200 bhp?

I plan on copying a guy on RR and using the 185bhp Civic Type R EK9 B16b lump with throttle bodies and standalone ECU.

The saxo:

I plan on keeping the saxo looking totally OE from outside but there will be mods if you look closely enough: It will have carbon bonnet and boot to match the roof (but will all be painted apart from a stripe of carbon you will be able to see through the paint going straight over the car), VTR rims, VTR side badges, polycarb windows all round, single lightweight bucket seat and so on.....

We will see the return of M8X DJ, which has been on retention since selling my other car.

I will also source the lightest possible components and ditch every square inch of unwanted metal, wiring loom, etc etc.

PS, I will also start work on it in the new year when it's on home turf.....

why vtr rims tho craig? crap for cooling, and cant use BIG breaks without using spacers which is gay.

Fair enough, sounds like its going to be a proper jobbie, something i really want to do once im settled back in the UK!
