Expert Posts: 11052 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Wolverhampton | I think I agree as I was given it - its one with a cold air feed you can mount into the bumper but I think i'm going to remove it as ive got a ramair foam filter | ||

Expert Posts: 11052 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Wolverhampton | Yeah i'm actually looking at the filter now, going to rob the carbon fibre effect cold feed box for the foam filter if I can. Car should be a bit of fun on the track, cheaper than buying the 106s too going for a saxo | ||

Its not a standard VTR engine in mine - its the one from the 106 xsi which is a 1.6 8v with higher comp pistons and a 270 degree cam. Should give me about 110 bhp with the mods currently on it which is more than enough for a bit of fun on track. If I get bored though I'm going to fit a 16v 14/JP4 engine but its early days yet. Whats your mates running? Providing you get the weight down they are going to be pretty nippy with id estimate 160+ bhp. Easily as quick as a VVC anyway I'd have thought?

Track Slag Posts: 5060 ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Washington | 110bhp with a car that handles that well, will be all you need to keep a massive grin on your face, Mate has a 106gti it's alright but not as quick as a vvc, he'd destroy me on track though, if he learned to drive.... | ||

![]() Elf eating dog breeder Posts: 10531 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Guildford | Looks like a good build, few things i'd do differently, for one a decent rollcage not one that looks like its all bolted together at the top end, i.e. shit. Agreed on the airfilter, get some pics of the ramair on it and i'll stop hating ![]() Apart from that it looks lovely, a mate had a 106 quickshitter on 205 gti wheels in black with red rim tape, looked epic imho, and the saxo is the same car so why not ![]() | ||

Ramair is on now, but no batteries in the camera ![]() Yeah, only thing is that cage in a crash will just shear the bolts and act like spears, seen it before in my mates rallycross car, its why FIA cages are FIA approved lol, only bolts allowed are for door bars (and they have to be bolted a certain way, not crushed tube bolted to crushed tube lol) and the main rear cage must be welded and joined in a certain manner etc, main loop must be one piece bla bla bla. I'll see if my mates still got his saxo full cage, he only wanted £250 for it, and its still FIA approved with the papers etc, if it hasnt sold i'll sort you out his details. Look forward to more progress on it though, proper budget track car that looks the part and will handle damn well! | ||

Expert Posts: 11052 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Wolverhampton | If anyone cares again, just thought i'd bump this to show what I've been doing. Also as I dont seem to be able to get a good recommendation for a good battery - what lightweight batteries to people use here, I need something to relocate to the rear of the car? Chrimbo is coming up and I want to trade the usual socks and PJs for a battery that may actually start the car more than once! | ||
