My track car - updated 25/1/11
Not content with 3 ford rs's I have a bought a French car!
Saxo vts, slightly fettled, cams, ported head, remap, 4 to 1 branch manifold and I'm not bothered if it goes into a tyre wall!
Got some eBay specials already, strut brace, bucket seats, vts wheels. Will update as works done.
First session at Oulton park on the 11th February

they go pretty well, the 16v's had a 106 gti for a few months back a year or so ago, had a few mods and fair play went well for what it was, great fun, destroyed a clutch on the first session at castle combe.

a friend of mine uses a vtr for a track car, and for some reason has broke 3 driveshafts in 3 track days! it is lowered so dont know if that makes a difference, but they seem to be made of chocolate! they go well though for what they are, just i find not great for tall chaps with big feet due to the pedal spacing!!

Nope everything will be bare essential.
The wheels are second hand and I'm giving them the DIY refurb this weekend. Seats are second hand.
The strut brace is new as I watched a second hand one sell for £76 and a new one is £81
Just need harnesses and then I'll weld in my own rear strut brace and maybe a half cage, that I'll make myself.

ive got a head casting and a second hand gearbox for a vts at my works from an abandond vtr to vts project about three years ago brought everything engine loom box ecu for 300 quid then a member of the saxo sports club blow his bottom end up on his vts and as i needed the money we agreed on paying what it owed me on instalments! he gave me 100 quid loaded the block in his van with some other rare parts and ive never seen him since! if you want the box and head casting its yours fed up with looking at it! ps the head has a snapped manifold stud.

tony, thats a great gesture, but i do think it'd be very awkward for me to collect them, as much as i'd like them
Roosie, what do you find best for handling?
No max, hers is red, she's still got it
Well today saw the wheels painted and the car stripped out. Everything bar dash removed. I'm collecting seats from Bradford tomorrow. Bought a strut brace,
Need harnesses, steering wheel boss and then next weekend will be the roll cage
in a home made booth
buzzed down
primered
painted, not to everyones cup of tea, but hey, its a track slag

I loved my vts cammed, backbox, filter and lowered on springs it was a laugh amd handled well for what it was it broke non stop but it had had a very hard life before i had it but was a good shell. 4 shafts, headgasket, 2 struts, brakes all round twice, lambda, gearbox, clutch, 2 power steering pumps, leaks, calipers all round and 2 axles but I still would have another
oh and i swapped it for an unfinished stripped out corsa redtop project :S
