Have myself a 2015 Fiesta ST2 MP215 as a daily, and got i a bit bored of only having it. So needed something more lively to thrash around when needs be.

So bought myself a twin engined saxo vts...

That is cool mate.
How hard is it to get both engines synced to run at the same time.

Will be a mad toy this.

Maxwell

Normal ignition gives power to both engines, but starts up front engine as per normal. The rear engine is then started by a starter button on the dash, once the kill switch is off. Its got a modified gearlinkage and clutches to get all working in sync!!

The build has been poorly done and wont take much to put it right but the car was cheaper to buy, than what it was to fix the T34 on my old Saff Cossie. So its just a toy to play around with, or to sell or break in the future.

Very cool car!

I'd love to have a go in this

Crazy little car and looks great with the wheels, the Saxo vts reminds me of the pug 205.

Love stuff like this fookin mental but well done or not it's all there, plentiful if an engine lets go and still cheapish to run, put a few Ł and you'll have a cracker

Maxwell

Still have it. Not done much with it as im working abroad and its gonna cost more to sort out than i anticipated. Basically needs the whole rear end set-up redesigned. (Well a subframe and wishbones etc made up) Something i dont think i wanna pump money into!

Did think about breaking it, but recently advertised locally in NI for sale. But had no takers. So its lay at my cousins house going to waste!

What's wrong with the way it's done, out of interest?

Maxwell

Essentially the front end of another Saxo welded into it with alot of bracing. BUT...the person who built it didnt take bump steer and keeping the rear wheels true at all times!! So a subframe/wishbone set up would cure it, but f**k if its gonna be my money doing it! Haha

visa_broke

sounds like one of the guys off retrorides with his volvo, think his username is claymore. He put the front end in the back of his volvo and has done most of the work to get it on the road, not sure if he's got it back road legal yet.

Out of interest what would something like this go for? i've seen people advertise rear engined saxo's/pugs with bike engines but no twin engine yet. I take it with the current setup its a bit like a puppy on a wet floor and all over the place

No offence but from the sounds of it I think a mk7 ST would be quicker tbh

To be fair, a new ST Fiesta would be quicker than most Mk1 Escorts.

Maxwell

Why would i take offence!? Lol. To be honest i did take the saxo a few straightline blasts and it went as hard as my 350bhp Cossie did!!

Also i have since September got rid of the Fiesta as it was starting to be mind numbingly slow for me. Got myself an F30 330d M sport now

Maxwell

Yeah mate pretty much. I want Ł1000 for it, as breaking it would command more or less that much (factoring everything in!

Maxwell

A standard Saxo VTS would be quicker than an RS2000 mk1/2. Infact they probably are on par witha mk5/6 Escort RS2000
