Are they any good, bought one yesterday for a bit of cheap track day fun,, i've done one before at croft in my old evo and loved it,, is the saxo going to compare? Feeling i'll do one in it and want something quicker

Here;s a couple of pics..

There is a little ax that goes to knockhill with a vts engine,stripped out & it holds its own i think the saxo will be a good crack they aint slow for what they are

Never driven one before,, although this has had new brakes, suspension and tyres so it shouldnt need much spending on it, would love to do croft with it but its too late i think to get a place

Stoo

I think you're more likely to have fun with that than alot of other faster cars. They are surprisingly quick, great handling and cheap to fix if they go wrong. Great choice IMO.

i had a vtr years ago & it handled great .. only thing is you will get the bug & end up wanting a evo or cossie track car with loads more power

maxest

iTrader: (1)

Think your right carlo, but then as stoo says if it goes wrong it doesnt cost much to put right, after the track day in my evo, it needed 2nd gear syncro doing, and i snapped two wheel studs so it cost nearly 1k to put right,, this wasnt much more

Its the speed the little fuckers can carry in & out corners that ppl under estimate think they are near 130 bhp & weigh nothing.

Nice

Diff bearings have a habit of going and electrical problems seem to dog them a little.

Both easily fixed when they occur though

Lots of fun round the track mate, and there pretty quick in all fairness!

mattysxguy

Didnt even see it on there, and i go on everyday

Looks a good little toy. Surprising how quick they are for the power they have.

Whats it got done to it?

Ryan

silly quick for what they are, brakes are foookin shoking in standard form though.

so hope it has ap's or at the very least larger discs.

maxest

iTrader: (1)

See how it gets on, what can you fit behind the wheels? Prob put some srf in it for a start

krypton

If you find the brakes rubbish. You want a set of gti6 disks an calipers or 206 gti 180 they use 283mm disks. They are the biggest standard upgrade you will fit behinde your 15s.

You can get 4 pots but dont see you needing them on standard ish power. The 283s are more than enough with some good pads

Tou may find this handy to look at if you are lookng for better pads. also tells you what set ups come on what cars http://saxosportsclub.com/ForumsPro/...ht=brakes.html
