Saxo VTS

[chris_trickle]

I havent been on the site for ages so thought i would check whats happening in the Corsa world and show some pics of my Sax. I have had it for a couple of months now, it was standard when i bought it and a little ragged. But after i have had my hands on it for a couple of months it now looks mint!

Its a top car to drive, 10x better than my old SRi in terms of speed and handling. The only bad point is the french build quailty!! Its awesome to drive though! The decat exhaust sounds awesome as well.

Cheers for looking
Chris

[softtop]

i spose if you lowerd it,tinted windows,got some new alloys it would look good but im not keen on saxos just not sure on the way they look lol even though there growing on me

EDIT

btw it looks wellllllllllllllllll clean though good job on that ;)

[chris_trickle]

I dont want to chav it up mate, so its staying as it is. Subtle is better.

I have lowered it on Eibachs and fitted the exhaust.

[George]

Great mate, I used to have a Saxo 1.1 but had the vtr kit fully colour coded:)

Nice cars but yea you get fed up with the build quality, I blew the core plug out the engine in mine somehow.

Yea keep it how it is mate, subtle VTS looks! VTS wheels rock!

Only things I would probably do is colourcode, and remove the slats out of the grill and replace with black mesh, that always looks good even though its a tricky job

[RoDDerS]

looks gd just get some 15" black team dynamics pro race 1.2s that would look well nice and black angels and smoked rear and side repeaters thats wat i would do then leave it that wouldnt look chaved up at all the would look motor sport style and look mint nice car atm tho :)

[nyzrox]

do you go j27 in that on sundays sure ive seen it.

[chris_trickle]

do you go j27 in that on sundays sure ive seen it.

I havent been yet, im planning on going this w'end though after MFN

[twinport_corstar]

Nice VTS, tho it would look alot better if you colour coded them massive black bumper strips.

[Steve]

Not my cup of tea but it looks like a good example tho

What sort of power is it running?

[Minton]

Nice sax mate, should get yaself on www.saxperience.com,

[Keith]

looks nice - a well kept example :thumbs:

[partridge_88]

oh dear

wel if you are happy with it, but I thought the corsa was 10x nicer

whats the specs on these anyway?

[chris_trickle]

Not my cup of tea but it looks like a good example tho

I think they're 120bhp standard, decat should add a couple of bhp as well. Its like driving a go kart though because its light, its very fun to drive! ;)

Nice sax mate, should get yaself on www.saxperience.com, (http://www.saxperience.com,)

I'm already on mate!

[P71C3Y]

so much faster than the corsas!!!!

as u said tho mate the build quality is poor!!!

lush car tho mate

That explains it then!
Someone in Hull has one and tried to get infront of me from the lights but couldn't keep up :lol:
I thought they were about 135hp as standard which is why I couldnt quite understand how they couldn't keep up.

[Phil_T]

Dont believe u got rid of the corsa for that chris :(

[RoDDerS]

Dont believe u got rid of the corsa for that chris :(
i know we all make mistakes his chice maybe he prefers it still in good condition though should do what i recomended will look gd then ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[jimmi]

if your keeping it like that then thats rubbish :(

looks naff like that imo, i would def look at changing a few bits to make it look nicer

your corsa was soooooooooooo nice! and cant be that much slower as yours was a 1.8

[kraziCorsa]

maybe it feels faster cause its a smaller car.. but anyway my cousins VTR feels really fast, felt much faster than my mates 206 gti, even though the GTI was faster.. nice car though, i was thinking about getting a VTR

[chris_trickle]

I sold my Corsa to fund moving house, i had a ****ter for a month (£1k Mondeo!!) and got bored with it so decided to get a Saxo, its a car i have always wanted so i got one. Its faster than my SRi and handles sooooooo much better!

Jimmi - What would you do to it to make it better then?

[jimmi]

erm, if you want to just keep it sublte and not get aftermarket parts

full colour code

white standard rims

although i would get some rims the same as rad brad, think they are team dynamics pro race 1.2 in white or maybe black

[CHRISRi]

nice but group 14 insurance for a car with under 135bhp....

[RoDDerS]

erm, if you want to just keep it sublte and not get aftermarket parts

[jimmi]

no i didnt read yours lol

i think white would look better :P

[RoDDerS]

:nono: black my freind a m8 has them on his and they look real good in 15" trust me :lol:

[spikedjack]

i love VTS's and GTi pugs soooo much:)

mmmm, personnaly id have gone lower but 30-40mm on a saxo/106 is optimum for handeling:)

just keep it tidy and subtle and dont ruin it:)

Thats the plan dude, i'm not going to chimp it up! It will be a rare breed if i keep it like it is.

Very nice little go-karts these. 8)

Did you need to chop your feet off to be able to use the pedals independantly....:lol:

lol i know the pedals on a saxi are rediculous you cant wear trainers and drive properly

[Phil_T]

I kno its the same car but would have a 106gti over a vts & id never have a saxo just coz chavs have them, agree with you chris about keeping it subtle tho

[George]

Chris do you have small feet?

[Daz_GSi]

oh yea totally agree alot more fun to drive and better handling but such a shame on the french quality side.

nice motor mate, keep the mods coming :thumbs:

[coatesy]

a thought about 1 of these then sat in 1 could'nt beleive the cheap interior the seats r rubbish so i decided on a 206 xsi, wish i just got the 1.8corsa cause the build quility on the french cars is ****e, coils went 250quid pipes burst 140 quid 03reg aswell!!!
me personally if i had to have another french go-kart it would b clio 172 r the 106gti

[nyzrox]

I havent been yet, im planning on going this w'end though after MFN
prob see you there

[Kane]

Very nice mate! Deffo keep it sutle, the VTS wheels are lush! I was contimpalting getting one of these myself! Dont know why everyone bangs on about french build quality soo much they all drvie corsa which build quality is no better! :doublethumbs:

[jacko237]

i had 1 but there ****e in the wet if u turn when traveling 30+ the car just dosen't turn the wheels turn but u jus keep goin staight

[iceman_sri]

i had 1 but there ****e in the wet if u turn when traveling 30+ the car just dosen't turn the wheels turn but u jus keep goin staight

Thats probably more to do with **** tyres m8!

[jacko237]

wot with brand new yoko's

[SRI_P4UL]

Looks good and very shiny... Bet its nippy!

[C_Rules]

a corsa to a saxo hmm

[Tom]

alright chris, havent seen you about in ages. Car looks really smart, you have done a top job cleaning that up. Bet it handles like a dream

[slammedsax]

looks smart as fook

[cdti]

why are 95% of people in this thread slating him?

he had to get rid of the corsa to fund a house, which is very brave at the age of 22 imo.

good on ya mate, just keep it nice and subtle as you have said before, it looks cracking!

[chris_trickle]

Thanks for all the decent comments people! 8)

I havent really got a great deal to say about people saying they wouldnt have one because of the build quality and that chavs own them, all i cant say is that the Corsa isnt exactly perfect in terms of build quality and it certainly isnt short of the chav driver!!

Could not of said it better myself!

[NathanD]

very very nice mate..
i can see where youre coming from, all my mates have vts's and theyre rapid, and they just speed round corners a lot easier than my sri!

only problem is the gearboxes are crap! everyone i know with a vtr/s has gone through atleast one..
get a dimma grille.. or if you want subtle, get a saxo desire grille, as my mate has one and it looks lush..

ill find a pic

[SONiC_86]

Niiice! i would colourcode it personally. Them VTS alloys are lush.

[Missing_pilot]

the thing that puts me off is how easy it is to crumple.. like its made out of tin foil :lol:

But if modded correctly they do look nice..

[jdefoe18]

nice matey. i did the same as you sold me corsa n got a sax. if ya ever want any black 1.2 team dynamic alloys 16 inch got some in me shed only 4 month old jus wanted a change they were on the car wen i bought it.

im gettin a vtr in blue white white rims slammed tot he floor once i paid off my c love vtrs

[Webzta]

This was one of the cars I looked at getting, I basically wanted a faster/better handling car.

Looked at:

Saxo VTS
106 GTi
306XSi (Slow as **** though)
306GTi-6

Ended up getting a GTi-6, those VTS will keep up to about 60 orso then bye :)

Friend had alot of bad experience with his saxo, lots problems, Loved the look of a 106GTI but it felt too small :)

XSI's are a joke, 0-60 11seconds or something, my 1.2 was close to that :(

Car looks nice mate, only thing i'd do is CC it.

You should consider a 106 S2 Rallye, i love them!! :yummy: They look awesome standard and are v.fast standard

[Jo3]

i love the vts! clean example.

whats the big thing about people sayin chav? lol its a car, i see no burberry hat, its all good.

all i know is, a saxo vts will outhandle and most likely be quiker than alot of cars on this site.

[Shane SRi]

Not bad Chris, gotta love the performance if nothing else! :P

How come you got rid of the Corsa anyway?

Just a quick update, havent been online for a while!!! The engine bay looked like basra when i got the car, so after abit of cleaning its looking a little tidier, i've still got a fair bit to do but its getting there!! I have also spray painted the cam cover wicked red...the same colour as the car. I have also included a couple of pics that i took today, i waxed it yesterday with Zymol cleaner wax (top stuff!!!) but it bloody rained today. Gutted!! Never mind, it still looks fairly clean...

Looking good i like this saxo

[14N-FR]

I was at a cruise tonight and saw a saxo VTS (in blue right enough) with mirror polished standard wheels and it looked totally mint! Its something not alot of people would notice, but my god it looked good.

Hi Folks,

Not been on here for a while so thought I would update my Sax thread. I've been spending a few quid trying to get the car ready for TRAX'07 as well as for some track days....

First of all I replaced the panel filter, I dont really see the point in spending hundreds of pounds on enclosed filters etc... They barely make a difference. When replacing the filter I couldnt believe how much crap was in the airbox! Also the size of the standard filter is a joke! Its bloody huge! Anyway its been replaced with a nice small Green cotton filter....

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y137/Chris_trickle/My%20Cars/VTS/P7280092.jpg

Next up I wanted some good quality brakes to help slow me down at the end of those long silverstone straights at TRAX...

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y137/Chris_trickle/My%20Cars/VTS/P8040018.jpg

I'm very happy with the feel of the brakes now, they're 10x better.

And finally I've been doing plenty of car cleaning to keep it up to scratch for the show. I'll be polishing/waxing it a couple of days before the show to make sure its on form...

what are your black diamond discs like? i have them on my c and they are good but always get a slight swirly sound when i brake. i got new brake pads and it went for a few weeks, but then came back, even though its a bit quieter.

what pads are you using?

Thats unusual???? I use black diamond pads and dont get any noises. Obviously the brakes make a different noise to normal discs because of the pads going over the grooves/holes.

I had black diamonds on my old corsa and didnt experience any problems with them either. What pads are you using?

Not put any pics up yet 'cos it's still under construction lol! My brother's round at the minute cos' my head needed skimming and he's a VX mechanic so he's come to put it all back together but it still doesn't want to start.

Think I might need to get some overtime in at work to cover the bills :banghead:!

Another TRAX update! They need a clean after some driving in the rain last night, but they dont look bad! I'll get some better pics up at the weekend,

Watch this space for smoked headlights...

[George]

Oh, I love them. Perfect exhaust too, this look that people do on VTS/Rs always reminds me of the SRi look. Just plain and simple and shouts performance.

That refurb looks spot on, not too dark and not too bright. Just the perfect shade of anthracite.

[chris_trickle]

Cleaned up and ready for TRAX! :P Done a few mods this week including smoked front and rear lights, smoked indicators and painted calipers. Also cleaned the hell out of it inside and out over the last two days ;)

I'll be sure to pop over to the Corsa C UK stand at trax for a look around and take a few pics.

[chris_trickle]

Hi all, I havent been on CCUK for a while so thought I would post some new pics of my Sax. Had a change of plan recently, Instead of turning it into a track slag I have decided I want to keep it in mint condition and standard(ish). I think the standard look is the way forward these days.

I still intead to do the odd track day for fun and I'm going to the Nurburgring in July (With Saxosportsclub.com) which will be awesome! :yippe:

Anyway, heres the car as it looks now. before I go to the Ring I just want to get the wheels refurbed (same colour) to iron out the imperfections. I will also need to get it serviced and checked over before we go!

Sax-P is a good site, Its very similar to this one. SaxoSportsClub.com isnt quite as busy but its great for track cars and events.

Nice mate keep it exactly how it is!

Thats the plan, Standard Saxos are getting rare!

Its great on track, The car handles so well! I havent been on that much as I only caught the bug just before winter! But I will get some sessions in over the summer :)

I think the FCS (French Car Show) is the best chance to see a Saxo v C2 on track!

[Daz_GSi]

proper smart mate, like it alot!
always had a soft spot for these.

[Phil_T]

Looks good chris, i get wat ur saying about the standard look but you should have kept with the painted rims as its still standardish and looks so much better. Just get rid of the 16v badges imo

[Kane]

They're standard on the VTS so with me keeping the car standard I'm leaving them on. They're proper ****roen ones as well, not the tat you can get from halfords!

[chris_trickle]

I was so close to going down that route, but decided I wanted to keep it standard. One of my mates stripped his Sax out, was great fun but a real pain in the arse for everyday use.

I'd like it if i could keep this car for a few years and get another car for work etc... Then I could strip it out and have a weekend/trackday toy!

[xhills]

What insurance are you paying on it, and who with?

[chris_trickle]

Insurance isnt great as its a fairly high group. Group 14 I think? I think thats because they're easy to nick and they're written off quite easily! (French build eh!)

I paid £900 last year but its due for renewal in the next month, I expect to pay around £700ish? Thats a guess though!

[fil_b]

loved the darker clusters - should put them back up

[chris_trickle]

loved the darker clusters - should put them back up

You should get the Clio on track, I'm sure it would be good! I cant wait for the 'Ring trip, it will be awesome. I just hope the little Saxo can handle it!

Angel Lights + Saxo.....:sick: GAY! Get him to swap them ASAP!
