Mk1 Posi VTS

[bashracing]

saxo's and ax gt's,
ahh good times

 

[.Stevo.C.]

A guy I went to college with had the exact same system on his vtr and I have to admit it sounded brilliant on full chat.

 

[Ex-User (60778)]

My T reg saxo westcoast understeered straight into the rear of a brand new x5 haha those where the days...

 

[Adamm.]

I had a VTR for my first car and lasted a month before I smashed it into a roundabout.

Good fun little cars always wanted the VTS but went to the 182 instead.

The system I had on my previous VTS was insane, the backfires and flames it spat out were ridiculous! Just by fitting the backbox earlier to the standard centre section, this pops and bangs more than the Clio with a full system. The SuperSprint really brings these to life, with a manifold and cams they're full on asbo!

 

[Hodgins]

Loved the supersprint on my VTS
Miss that car (only pic i have on my phone)

Do these things handle as well as clios?

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Do these things handle as well as clios?

I'd say so.

I had a VTS & GTI, they were very under rated. Brakes aside, they are superb.

The GTi i had was a freak, it ran 135bhp standard, the JP4 engines are very tuneable in their n/a form with little fuckery.

Supersprint is the best system you can get on a saxo/106.

Sounds incredible for a little 1.6 haha

 

[Hodgins]

I was looking last week to see what sort of money they are fetching and i couldnt find many for sale at all

They're very rare in one sense, good ones just don't come up often! Inmolested GTi's and VTS' just never come up...

They're a world of difference, having owned 3 VTS' previously, moving to my 182, and then getting another VTS...it's ridiculous. Not sure whether the 182 is a pearler of an engine, but it pulls harder in every gear without trying. VTS you have to literally plant it to get it going.

I'd say so.

They are wayyyyyy stronger than the factory figures suggest. Pal of mine had a GTI with a supersprint, mani and filter and it ran 146BHP - it felt every bit as quick as well.

 

[Starlet_gt]

I've always wanted one of these or a 106 GTI. There's just something about them. A mate had one that was decatted, exhaust, manifold and cammed and it absolutely flew! They're much faster than you expect them to be.

Ahh Icelandic grey, I had an 02 plate after my Williams. Miss that car

 

[Matthew]

I also had an Iclandic Grey Saxo. Had it lowered at a place who didn't have a clue and the back was about 12 inches lower than the front. Ruined it totally. Sold it soon after.

 

[SOHROB]

I went a bit mental with mine and took it to a place called TMS in Leeds who prepped Rally cars and built the c2r2 cars for racing. Ended up with Supersprint mani, catback, simota ik, cat cams and chip wizards map, alcon 4 pots off the racing puma, Peugeot sport group n coilovers with gravel spec springs and thicker arb and some comp mo's

 

[Sir_Dave]

VTS' are mega.

And rapid. Especially when they have no interior & basic breathing mods, ie induction/manifold/saxsport.

 

[josh11490]

Joe, let's try and get em on a rolling road to see where we are whilst my GTi is on the road?

My dieting will start this weekend, seats, panels, headliner and my left nut.

I'm down for that man!

 

[leeds_182]

Love them!

Mk1 vts - 4-1, decat, pro comp.

 

[leeds_182]

Boosted mk2;

 

[leeds_182]

Throttle bodied mk2;

I loved that to death, looked f**king brilliant! Had it's problems though from what I heard?

Yeah, was neglected basically and needed turning around. Still going strong though!

 

[Cookson]

I do prefer the look of the Mk2, so much more appealing

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Good purchase
I used to hate saxos with a passion. Mainly due to the bellends from around swansea way that used to own them.

They're kinda cool now though, and seems only car enthusiasts seem to want them now, make for a good track/rally car too.
Their not a chavs choice these days.... Too old for them and not cool enough. Which can only be a good thing!

 

[SOHROB]

Hard to get hold of nowadays.

 

[SimpleJoee]

Yeah, was neglected basically and needed turning around. Still going strong though!

Glad to hear she's still going!

 

[SimpleJoee]

Door panels, seats, parcel shelf, sound deadening, seatbelts, panels from the rear all removed
SuperSprint decat+non silenced center section fitted along with the SuperSprint backbox and Powerflex mounts
Green cotton Filter fitted (can't remember if I posted previously about that?)
Should have my manifold by next weekend, and it's also pay day, so many things shall be bought!

Few snaps from Llandow today (excuse how the exhaust sits, currently has a blow and sits awful. #meltedbumper )

 

[mossyv6]

Getting rare - love it

 

[SimpleJoee]

Getting rare - love it :smile:

Tbh, I'm not sure I've seen another Mk1 on the road!

 

[Stefan.]

Do any of your friends call you Gavalaaaa?

 

[SimpleJoee]

I'm not following you :smirk:

 

[leeds_182]

Passed its mot today too!

 

[Cookson]

Passed its mot today too!

That looks f**king BANG TIDY!!!

I had a vts brand new when i was 24. I have to say i loved it. My car was actually the first vts to be lowered in the northwest by abp motorsport. I can even still remember the reg. It was S643FMA.
i also owned a black ax gt for a short spell, it was fun but i didnt enjoy it as much as the vts.

Do you use that line in the nightclub? ha.

 

[Daz_RT_04]

Since were uploading pictures/memories lol..

My 1st VTS - LOVED IT.
Supersprint, Panel filter and a cheap stainless 4-2-1 manifold = 145bhp on the dyno although it used to rev well into the redline...
266mm 206 GTI brakes and I cant recall what it was lowered on.

Ahh I miss that sound ^ This was 9 years ago...The old girl used to spit blue flames out the back and was pretty rapid tbh.

I then owned a Navy blue VTS that was mint, sold that for a £1000 profit a month after buying it lol.


Track 106 that was rough as hell yet had cams and other mods .

My 3rd one was a standard VTS that was to be used as a workhorse... I lowered it because I wanted to and whacked an air filter on for some noise.

I now wish I was 19 again!

All the time
