my brother has just got hold of a saxo vts very cheaply and has offered it to me for pea nuts.

would this be a decent little track toy if stripped out?

obviously its not a massive spec but would it make a good budget track car?

with a few tweeks im sure the handling would make up for the lack of power

Yes mines a track car. Fully stripped out, 2 OMP buckets, decat and cams, spax springs and 1144 pads on front. Really needs new suspension as the front dampers are very ineffective!



On track at FordFair where the only car quicker from what I know in my session (a load of fiesta zetec s') was my best mates FRPd zs. Much more experience driver then I though and much better suspension and brakes on his car.

666

very true, a lot cheeper to change the beem

mark heres my old vtr

Mark_

666 now owns it mate.

Mark_

looks good.

well for what my brother is asking for it i may well take a chance with it and see how it is.

666

do it mark, i will always help with any problems

Mark_

nice one jay, could be alot of fun i think.

so are there alot of tuning parts for the vts?
ive done a quick search and parts seem fairly cheap

666

very cheep mate, and shitloads for them ,theres more choice than for a ford

Rich_bloor

666

Mark_

666

not another idea mark

Mark_

ive already told him ill take it.

its done 78k. 3months MOT and 1month TAX.

how strong are the gear box's and standard internals?
will they take the abuse from track sessions?

Mark_

this isnt an idea mate.

since the other car fell through as the others dropped out im now doing it alone.

i have a huge place to store it on my bosses farm which is what i should have done the 1st time round doug.

i know its not a ford but i couldnt care less.

i just want something cheap and cheerfull to have some fun out on track
