Something a bit different eh mate

Looks tidy though

Keep us updated on the progress

Indeed, why not just fit a 1.4 to the 2 tone, and de-2 tone it

Im completely confused as to why you didn't just go the extra 10yards and get the vts..........

Nice tidy motor though

Project sounds good. Nothing OTT


A 3rd saxo though? Not fancy anything different?

Nice plans, shame about the car though!

comming from the k series, rover driving, flatcap wearing, grumpy old man over there xxx

Having driven a Saxo a few times in the past, id rather catch the bus than drive one lol. At least the footwell in Rover's have space for ya feet!!

Besides which, the K-Series ownz everything PSA have to offer, period!

I'll give you that about the footwell lol, very close togethher aswell the dals are

I'm sticking with saxos because they are so much fun to drive, the parts are cheap and you can do alsmot anything to them =D

As for not getting a VTS, i cannot afford insurance yet hence the 1.4 and not a VTR/S

But surly the money your going to spend on the exhaust springs etc etc would coover the cost of the extra indsurance........

I think it looks nice as it is, those wheels are good as well ... I know it's not mine, but it's more unique to keep it as it is ... there's so many 'cosmetically modified' Saxo's around, it's as if time hasn't moved trends on in the Saxo community.

Ford Fiesta Mk4/5 1.25 Group 7 (75bhp)

Saxo Vtr Group 7 (90-100bhp)

Focus 2.0 Group 8 (135bhp)

Why oh why a 1.4 saxo? Sure it's a faster car than the 1.1 but not by much.

Hope all goes well with your mods but make it simple, save the cash and invest in a better car for the future.

I wouldnt put a list of Fords up there to sway him lol... Under powered pieces of trash.

My mates 1.6 Escort had what, 90 bhp when it came out the factory. My Alfa was 120, and now the MG has 107, but is miles quicker than the Alfa. All 1.6


Saxos are good for handling etc, the only problem is that as has been mentioned, a lot has been done to them over the years, and its difficult to make them different.

Elliot, on second thoughts, I reckon you should go for the rally look. Will be a bit more expensive, and harder to live with, but I doubt youll ever get rid of it then

hmmm..."Uprated discs & breaks"..


being its a saxo....it surely will!
