£8000 on a... saxo!

[Nazor]

Yeah i cant imagine it being too much fun on the road tbh - it would be far to lairy.

106 Maxi's where 210 to 220 bhp and they where bloody quick. Its just a numbers game really without thinking too much of the practicality of it all.

Imagine that thing in the wet

 

[Lee A]

The understeer would be fun, good few clios in england running 280-290 bhp and they find it hard to get the foot down after corners. Would be so much fun though. Building a fully supercharged to notch saxo for under 8k mmmm I think that isn't to realistic. It wouldn't be anywhere near the quality of that build and it's components.

are they sharp as they are made out to be? I love the whole look of them and older cars just do it for me. Do you have an old thread on here simon ?

My 106 Rallye

 

[Nicky Glanza]

106 xsi for the win!! i had one and it was brilliant wee car.. as for the vts for 8000 wouldnt waste my money..
not at all nice looking imo but ano bout the whole sleeper but its a mrk1 with extremely tacky rims lol would rather put my money into a **** quick starlet or civic!

 

[marcusplowman]

£8k is almost e46 M3 money The only way to recoup some of the money spent on mods is to strip the car and sell off what you can separately. I ended up taking all the ICE out of my Corsa at the time and selling the car for not much more than a standard one would have cost The respray cost more than what the car was sold. I ended up getting more for all the ICE on its own than what I did for the car

 

[Doovde]

Joke is on him. £32k later and its still only a saxo

 

[pablo]

it could well be more fun to drive than an E46 M3 tho....

[jayme]

[Nazor]

Is it a Rallye?? that would be cool to see.

Mine needs loads of TLC at the moment. Actually hope to start back into it soon enough although i have been saying that for ages.

LOL, you can't be too hard on him man, I know in this day and age we are more subtle mods and hings.

But i know many men that are friends that pumped thousands in 205's, 309's, clion, corsa's etc etc, back in the days of mad kits and shows. It's all part of growing up and modifying.

[marcusplowman]

It may well be but I know what Id rather be driving

 

[RCT]

You'd probabley be able to put the power down alright, you would just have to adapt your driving style and not flat to the floor on taking off from the lights everytime.

Am I the only one thinking, that if this was a Japanese car e.g Honda then the replies in this thread would be a little different??

 

[Nazor]

ur probably right dude -

im not sure i agree about the putting the power down - you'd have to be very very gentle with it all the time and this kinda car is not about being gentle (imo) its about chuckin it around and giving it abit of abuse. I just cant imagine it been any fun except in a straight line in the dry though.
