Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral should i become a saxo driver?

sorry if your into drift and D1 then the skyline is amazing, your right it isnt the fast of them all but its a drift master thats why its RWD. If scooby was going for 4WD then i dont think he would have drift decals on it it would be more HKS and blitz etc etc. there is a difference in all cars depending in what style you want to go for. the saxo is great for traffic light grand prix. the skyline is a drifter. there fore two different cars, two different opinions. personall saxo not my cup of tea but a lot of work has gone into it and would make for a quicker banger.

so a supercharged VTS with 220 brake at the fly that weights tops 800kg against .........

a big huge skyline, yes quick, (not one of the quickest) loaded with ICE possibly batterd engine wise.

but jay just turn the boost up hey, sure to go faster then

im talking 0-100, drift wise yes the liner owuld win but even on the lanes the saxo would take some beating

That saxo weighs more than 800Kg thats for sure.The factory kerbweight is more than that.And "down the lanes" it'd get cained by the liner. How much power that liner but out,and,as is always said.How much torque.

However,this isnt about what is the better car,clearly the skyline is but a)u couldnt afford the liner and B)u dont want the liner.u want a 200BHP chavmobile.each to their own. Not havin a pop mate,just my opinion

saxo's are abit chav yes. but that is by no means chav its got over 200 brake and a decent set of alloys and lowered FFS. out of the 2 the liner is a lot more chav by MILES.

my 106 standard is 950. strip that saxo and you'd get it to between 800-850kg, not hard.

scoop down the lanes it would not get caned by a liner AT ALL. its a big heavey huge car against a light hot hatch that would possibly match it to bhp per tonne

and if asking what is the better car all depends how much money you like to waste and what you want out of a car a) shock people b) look a complete pillac

Skyline = typical Japanese overengineering
Saxo = French

Throw a new gearbox, crankshaft, etc that'll take the beating of a tiny, underpowered eaton supercharger (I've got one - you wonder why mini owners replace them) as well. You may as well put a new engine from a 'better' car in there, if it'll fit in. I'm not having a go at you, I'm having a go at over-optimism.

not the 68 s'charger though its the 74

and RR'd at 218 or sumat at the fly

french is not all bad mate, make some of the best hot hatches ever built

look, it doesn t matter if the saxo could beat an f1 car car, the fact is its a poorly built car, its small, dated, unsafe, chavy, crap, poorly made, not japaneese, ugly, small, uncomfortable, unpleasant, horrible french, its just shit, oooooooooo its fast, wow, other than that, its a bag of shit, thats why he s gettin rid, and why on ebay there are a million saxo s for sale, id seriously rather drive a primara than that, at least its sensible, you should only buy a car like that if you have a runner,mind u i had a runner, and that civic still got me down, plus do you realise how much in petty it willll cost to run, stick with your 106. or go for some thing better made

I'm not saying they're bad cars, the engineering is a bit ancient though.
And I'm not saying you shouldn't get that Saxo either, it's looks awesome.

LOL GARY THINKS THE SKYLINE IS CRAP, and the Saxo is better!?

keep takin the pills mate,

the skyline for a skyline is god damn awful its crap

and i did not say ANYWERE the saxo is better!

but to a hundred i think its quicker than the liner in question

so you lay off the pills and read a bit better eh

gotcha...

You going to swap?

Is it not worth splitting the diffrence Garry?

What i mean is you hoping to get the car for £5000.

What about putting £2500 into you car you have now?

----
I think alot of drivers get alot more satisfaction out of work they have had done to there cars, rarther than buying someone elses idea's.

Its the same old storey your going to have to put your mark on it pretty quick if you went for it? As it would always be "The bloke before me".

I say if you want to become a saxo driver go for what ever will give you the most pleasure and the least head aches.

I think the car you have now is sweet,
unless i'm missing somthing?

no im not going to do it found out a few things about it now so,

webby if it only cost 2.5k to S/C mine then i would lol but costs about double that
