Well guys this is my 3rd saxo.. Not sure wether that is a good or bad thing lol.
And this time i have decided to go all out and just make a monsterous track car

I recently bought this of my friend lance (Lancek) as recently the 1400cc engines headgasket blew

But i had my black mk2 VTR engine sitting spare!
So we got cracking at dropping the 98 bhp Vtr engine in

(Will get pictures up later of the conversion!)
The conversion went very smoothly over the course of 4 days and this was all done on lances drive lol.
The current spec of the car
98BHP vtr engine
Raceland 4-2-1 manifold
Powerflow exhaust (soon to be piper

)
1.4 Furio gearbox
Modified raceland induction
GTI-6 brakes and calipers
Mintex pads
And fully stripped out interior

Here are a few pictures of the car all i can get at the moment as i need my friends phone as that has all the pictures on

Front end of saxo:

Back end of saxo :

Side of saxo:

Looking a bit sorry for its self!
Plans are to give it a bit of tlc
Get all the stickers of the rough as they wernt laquered and now theyve gone all nasty

Then start commencing on the modifications to get it on the track!

Let me know what you guys think Good/Bad comments welcome

Want to know anything ill try my best to give you the best answer i can

Cheers Luke

The 98 bhp vtr engine came out of my 2001 VTR which was on 83k miles iirc at 78k the headgasket went (N) and got my dads cousin who owns the garage to sort it out and while he was at it he skimmed the head aswell and i can tell you on the way back from the garage it felt like it had gained alot of power and the torque seemed to be alot stronger as from the few R's ive been in/drove there quite quick cars up to about 70mph but then theyd slowly make it up to a 100 and then take quite a while to get to 115/120 where as now this car just seems to keep pulling all the way around the clock! Will try and get a video up later of it as i need some experienced saxo people to try and acess if the ecu has been tampered with as the cars fast but as soon as it hits 4k its like its got a ph1 cam how the power is delievered will try and get a video up later guys let me know what you think good/bad comments welcome
