Paid 5k for the car and spent 2k on it in last 2 months

Looking for bargain price of £4999 ono
you all know what mines like, any thoughts ?

Thats bound to be a very nippy saxo,but i hate saxos and 106s dont bother me really. Its up to u mate,but i'd say keep the 106.If u want it supercharged go for it heh? I was lookin at a supercharger in the fast ford mag as apparently the one form the mini can fit. And also found a company who turbo the 1800ZETEC

Any pics of the car?

supercharge mine im looked at £3k easy

Hardly looks like the best conversion......and its pink!

That is crap.

for £5k id be getting a car that could quite possibly to 100 beat that heap of junk thats chaved to the max

Tell you what mate, you become a saxo driver......

i know abit more about that car now so i wont.


hmm 5k on a 200 bhp hatch that weighs less than 900kg or 10k PLUS (ball park) on one of the slower skylines thats been barried to the max, by max power (even the guy that got it for free didnt want it)

Sounds great fella, and a real sleeper too. Get it and change the colour, and do something about the sexy lace under the bonnet too lol:

The amount of work involved in supercharging is immense, it's more than bolting on one from another car. New pistons and rods, new one-off fabricated inlet, new manifold, one-off pulleys, it's beyond a total rebuild, and it'll break every week.

Stock Skyline would be quicker than a SC'd Saxo.

but we're talking about that skyline loaded with crap ICE but, oh im sorry, that wing adds about 40 bhp so must be quick.

apparently that skyline aint even the quickest one of them. so to a hundred i knwo where my money would go
