hard_corejoeboy · 24th January 2012, 19:47

Any more vids? Just out of interest have you not thought about having a rallye instead for free weight saving?

sexy_gt · 25th January 2012, 07:54

Rallyes are too old rusty and not my thing.

Kanekelly · 25th January 2012, 23:08

i would really like to see you at cadwell. see your videos they look good.
i live close to cadwell.
summer time i will be down there quite abit

hard_corejoeboy · 25th January 2012, 23:12

I just figure a 16v rallye is a better version of a saxo vts even if its older..

Id say its probably not far off an S1 rallye in weight anyway?

hard_corejoeboy · 26th January 2012, 07:24

I think an s1 is 100kg lighter before stripping?

Need to get to the ring mr stew now that would make a good video!

ohhhhhh joe. where do i begin on the matter? simple no could do, or the fact im building a 240bhp supercharged engine at the moment for it, weight wont be an issue then pal

or the fact i own planet saxx, as in saxo. bit daft calling it that and driving a rallye, seriously joe,

my old car here...

that s1 enough for you

see ive been there done that, saxo is here for good and its better with its power steering and modern (ish) looks.

see if we was wanting a light car id be building a westfield or similar, but its a saxo for me im afraid

your input is more than welcome as always, cheers for trying to make me go faster...

regarding nurburg, why?

theres plenty decent uk road circuits for track use without the need to go 1,000 miles to the ring.

have an accident (and i regularly do) and your looking at a massive bill from them, pay or go prison, no thanks!

id rather go to spa anyways. thats a dream circuit for me.

hard_corejoeboy · 26th January 2012, 19:35

Now that is sex!!!!

Keep constantly missing out on s1s at the moment and my missus has just uttered the words 'you could get a new car'

RS Twingo here i come lol

sexy_gt · 30th January 2012, 17:29

wouldnt say it was sexx, in places it was very rough. it did a good job for what i did with it tho.

dannygti · 30th January 2012, 17:32

When's the charged engine going in mate?

sexy_gt · 30th January 2012, 20:40

Ardz83 · 30th January 2012, 20:53

sexy_gt · 30th January 2012, 21:01

Progress looks good Stew

are you using the Vtr block and Vts head or taking pistons out of vtr block and putting in s block? how do you rate the C/L RC6 pads or you not tryed them yet, i find mintex 1144's pretty good to.

yes i do

either jack up car both front wheels in air, spin one wheel, both should go in same direction (does on this car)

or

with a shaft removed the diff has a circle hole rather than a verticle pin showing deep inside

thanks tho
