Shame about breaking the saxo. Was a nice motor.
I have a seat ibiza pd130 currently running 190bhp until i strap my new turbo down.
Totally different feel to the saxo but with lots of torque they are ace.

VAG build quality too  They put torx screws where the french could never imagine

Yeh i'd love to buy an old mk1 vts and just make a track toy out of it one day. Still cant afford the insurance on one though!
The tdi engines are pretty amazing... like the newer ones have the same bhp figures as the older engines (like mine) but have much higher torque figures. Like yours will have more torque than mine.
I still dont understand them... when i think my car has only slight less torque than my dads impreza... but mine takes twice the time to get to 60
Has this marked the end of your messing with cars then?

yeah, its nice to have a really torqueee car lol
Yeah it probably has. For now anyway. I do alot of motorway driving and i cant be without a car for more than a day or 2 if im lucky.
Jobs going well, so if the money stays good maybe i might delve back into it! Iv still got a house full of Saxo parts haha
