S1 106 rallye, 16v Conversion running lots of bits.
Tops out at about 130 due to the box but does low 14's, 0-60 has to be low 6's and Its awesome around a track help by the fact the lad can really drive.
Never been on roolers but it will have to be soon for mapping as hes put new cams in (gone from fast road to full rally/race) I reckon its around the 170bhp mark and 750kg.

even without knowing the figures, this thing has proven itself out on the road, track and strip, so even if I am well off its a beast

In all honesty... I dont know anymore!
My car's not been on a rolling road since November 2004, where those power figures were recorded. Since then a few things have been changed and the Apexi has been mapped at two elevated boost levels... but currently I'm running it in low boost mode (0.7bar).
I purchased a larger turbocharger to remove back pressure, cool the inlet charge and increase the boost pressure, but Ive not fitted it due to the existing (smaller) unit creating too much power for the transmission.
One day soon, I'll strap the new turbo on and do something fancy with the transmission... but there's no immediate plans for this
Until then, I guess the car's developing nearly 200 at the wheels, dependant upon conditions.
Any readers having spare gearboxes and driveshafts to donate, please feel free to

just curious tho not slating saxo's by far i bought mine cause its a good all rounder... but why would people wanna sepnd thousands turboing them etc if they can't cope with the boost pressure and don't put in awesome times... agreed my mate's 106gti got 15.0 1/4 when he had done alot to it BUT even then IMO no car gets respect unless it breaks the 13's.. ???

i make that about 40mm greater diameter (rough summing in my head) than mine (195/45/R15) so yours will be more accurate. when i find a calculator I pm you the proper difference if someone doesnt before hand...

Huge respect when these plans are put into action dude, bit more serious investment in the pipeline it sounds like  !
Massively impressed with i think it was George Gomez's red saxo on here, that was lush and ruuning some stupid power (300+!!!)
Was yours the worlds first or the UK's first Simo?
