My new daily driver is a passat 1.8t b5.5 with 18" audi alloys, think there the rs8 what alot of vag cars have on them. I will get a thread when im not at work and can get some pics.
Cant wait to give it a good detailing as definately needs the clay bar and a machine polish.

Okay then, i was going to keep this build abit quiet but ive given in haha. As i always wanted to go down the turbo route with the saxo and started buying parts about year and half ago then decied to stick to n/a but i wanted it to be alot quicker so past few months ive started buying boost parts. Also bought a suede dished steering wheel from FCS.
So far ive got-
Dp downpipe
Siemens 630cc injectors
OMEX 600 ecu
Dp oil feed
Air filter
2.25 Boost pipes
Ford coilpack
Boost guage
Might have a turbo smart dump valve that might have won on ebay.
Also been thinking of running jenveys in a plenum but that depends if can get a plenum built up.
Think the spec will be-
Dp manifold and Downpipe
Gt28 turbo
Decomp plate
Arp rod bolts
Vtr gearbox
Running between 10psi and 14psi

Also forgot to add that i swapped my vts wheels for a set of 205 speedlines, i paid £30 for vts wheels a while ago and swapped with same lad i bought off. Going to put them on while refurb my pro races i think and see what are like.

Went and collected my turbo off dannygti yesterday, watched him finshing his car off and have it running with the new turbo on. And my BE linkage arrived too as and when i end up going for a BE box on the car.
Anyway, it has made me really want to get the car sorted asap see'ing danny have his running. Manifold will be getting ordered in a few months when ive got the money together, then i'll be looking at getting clutch and omex 600 loom. I'll just be buying the little bits between saving for the bigger stuff too but should all come together in good time its just im going to have to find somewhere too build it all up.

I don't need ABS or any fancy new features such as new cars, my car will have better parts and perform far better and lighter than most cars will ever be! Mine will be better than a GT3 RS for more than half the price, how much are porsche 80k to100k theres no way i'd pay that for a brand new porsche!
I enjoy working and tinkering with my car atleast my car has a purpose and can feel part of my cars life. How would you like to start from scratch again like i have, to have nothing to a car i have now is some achievement which you will never ever acheive, i've been through much darker days and harder days than you have ever been through! Nothing will be better for me than a saxo, i like everything about them, yes they may break from time to time so does a brand new car even! i could afford a brand new car if i wanted, but i don't like any new cars out there, theres something about the saxo's nature and what a saxo gives is what makes it for me.

You must have forgotten... Youve never been on track and even admitted you'd be scared to push your car hard on track.
It's impossible to show someone's driving up on a forum.

the car is sat on my gfs mate drive feeling sorry for itself as it hasnt been used since i have got the passat as cant afford to insure 2 cars.
Parts wise im just saving for the dp manifold so i can get that ordered, then get BE gearbox to fit to car then can sell diffed rallye box to fund forged internals and get engine rebuilt. Only thing is funds as ive got a baby on the way, sometime i just think should of stayed N/A as already got short gearbox and jenveys and wouldnt need much cash to get cams and ecu loom then get it mapped but i really want to boost the saxo and make it really quick and something different around my area.

Yes got along way to go
Trying to get the main stuff out the way first, will more than likely havbe it setup on low boost then get a engine built up then all its a case of doing is swapping engines over and raise the boost abit.

Deffo keep at it mate.
It'll be worth the wait i can assure you! If you get all the right bits togetehr slowly and dont cut corners you'll end up with something much better than if you go cheap and nasty!
