The Project!

WooHoo! i got my new project home at the wkend! see if u can guess wat it is, lol

a reckon its a 99 plate saxo !! either red or ornage !! vtr ?? jst aff the top off ma heed !! wats ur plans ?

ur spot on m8, lol. it was a vtr but not anymore, theres no engine in it at the mo. the plan is stripped an rapid, dunno if im gonna track it or rally it yet? got a few bits an pieces for it in the garage tho. i know its history as well cause i built it the first time i had the car, lol.

1.6 vts lump n charge it once internals are uprated n serious monies spent it mite even reach just shy of 300bhp which will make it fly

dont think i'll bother with a vts lump, 2 many ppl use it, ive got the oppertunity ov a highly tuned vtr engine on carbs but i've got a vtr engine in the garage and a mhoooosive turbo, intercooler etc till i get the carbd beastie then it'll b the 2.0 8v turbo cit BX engine or a bike in the boot scenario?

ah i was gonna say theres no room in the bay for anything bigger than the 1.6 lump as my pal found out after buyin a bigger engine

rear engine ooft will be sweet but take a lot of effort to complete it

thats the point of a project car lol

well ive been workin away on the saxo shell preppin it for the cage and seam weldin an in the mean time ive went and got the donor car for the engine and suspension. from wat ive been told and seen its a 1.6 block with a 1.4 head, ported an polished, gas flowed, big valves, rally cam, valve springs, vernier pulley, high compression piston, conrods, lightweight flywheel, throttle bodies, jr filters, omega ecu, remap i presume, 4 branch manifold, de-cat, scorpion middle pipe, muskitier quad pipes, bilstein shocks front an back, dunno bout springs? torsion bar lowered, 15" speedline chrono, custom bonnet, theres loadsa other wee things like adjustable fuel pressure regulators an fancy electrical things to make it all work, lol

lol at the last bit

sounds like a quick wee engine

well im gutted to say this but the project is f*cked! the saxo shell is now a cube! so all the work on it was for nothin, the ax has been sold to a friend and is still rapid!!!! lol, u'll pprob see it about at the nxt ek cruise i'll get him to cum up a run, so now the garage is clean the mx5 is havin sum work done, i'll put up a new topic wen the parts arrive
