My new Saxo VTS: Two Tone content.

[Matthew]

Cheers lads

Anyone know the best place to take Citroens to in and around Yorkshire for work?

Usually Bichdown have done eveything for me on the Clios....

Is rickyp-rpm any good, as he's only 30 mins away?

Ricky RPM always worked on mine, I had 2 gearboxes off him fitted @ £200 ish each (including the box)

 

[Silent_Scone]

Must admit when I read two tone I was a bit dubious but it looks like a lovely motor

 

[Hodgins]

Absolutely stunning, i remember the exact car in my sax-p days lol, was the car that made me get mine lowered
Keep it that clean mate, not many good ones left :-(

Brilliant mate, always hard to find a specialist when you change manufacturers....

Thanks pal!

It's in really good condition considering it's 11 years old lol

 

[RSteve]

Love that mate, I want one now .

My bro has a 306 and has had some work done by Rickyp-rpm , he was happy with the work

 

[Matthew]

RickyP it is then....

Nice one lads, more knowledge on here about Saxos than on SaxP lol

 

[DanielJames]

I always found SaxP a funny place, it's either clueless chavs or older members who just can't let go of the Saxos, the latter are usually morngy c***s

 

[Jimbo_M]

Agree'd saxp is a funny old place, you tend to find that alot of members on here have had a 106/saxo in the past so know what they're talking about. You need a saxsport exhaust on this dude

Our exhaust system for the saxo makes better power...

 

[Matthew]

Guys guys guys, it already got a newish manifold back deacated magnex system on! Lol

That's fine for me....

 

[TrueBlue*182*]

Also French sport tuning are in that neck of the woods for comparable prices,,

[leeds_182]

Good luck getting hold of French sport tuning. I gave up after five attempts and went elsewhere.

I'm sure Kam will be able to show you the graphs, but that kam racing/supersprint makes a considerable amount of more power than the magnex! Also sounds hella better.

Lol i was on there for a few years although i wouldnt put myself in either of them 2 stereotypes you mentioned.

Nice purchase matt always wanted a two tone saxo while i owned one.

 

[Kam.]

magnex is good but a strangled system. Its not a straight through design as far as I am aware, but uses a reduced bore through the silencers to force gases into the silencer wadding. This makes for a quiet system but not so much in performance...

 

[bennno2005]

Yeah brakes are on my list mate- cant beleive how cheap parts are for the Saxo's!

GTI 6 brakes might be a good idea? You can pick them up cheap as chips. With OE discs and pads and fresh fluid they were brilliant on my 6 so on a 106 / saxo I imagine they would be awesome.

Agreed, I had the same setup on mine (283mm discs iirc) in a 900kg car works well

Looked fit under my speedlines on my ph1:

Not too bad on the vts rims on the ph2 either!

hellaflush

 

[Sir_Dave]

Look even better behind Comp MO's. I had 1*2 size DS2500's as well.

Was a tad daft to be honest, could lock it up at 70 - i removed the abs & added a gti6 master cylinder as well.

 

[Gaz.]

RickyP, what a pirate. All the kids were getting him to lower their saxos/106s when I was at college. With an angle grinder.

 

[Matthew]

Not too fussed about max performance from the exhaust TBH.

I'm getting on abit now and the quiet (compared to my previous Yozza's) Magnex is perfect for me.

Also not really looking to uprgrade the callipers, it will never see a track and have some new OEM discs and DS2500's lined up already which for my usage will be fine IMO

 

[Chris205]

Is that yates old saxo? If yes its been well looked after

 

[Matthew]

Not sure mate, for the last 3 years it's belonged to Marvv the mod over on 106owners and his girlfriend iirc

 

[ch!ppen]

It isn't Yates' car, no. Craig (180) has Yates' now.

However i'm stumped on which mod you bought this off. I can't think of a mod with a two tone :S

EDIT: Ah, thought you said you got it off a mod on SaxP. Smart car either way.

It's Marvv's mate. He has a red GTI also which he is re-building...

This was his girlfriends until he bought it off her as a run around...

 

[Sean.]

quite rare in the two tone.

had four saxo's in the past

1. 1.1i with vtr bodykit
2. vtr massive sound system
3. supercharged vts 200bhp
4. supercharged vts track car stripped @252bhp - two features

 

[kpowell911]

Do they do a 1.4 version in two tone?

 

[Matthew]

supercharged vts track car stripped @252bhp

Feck me that must have shifted

 

[ch!ppen]

Do they do a 1.4 version in two tone?

Only VTR's and VTS'.

 

[Sean.]

Feck me that must have shifted

It shifted yes!

 

[kpowell911]

Only VTR's and VTS'.

So no, just 1.6 8v /16v?

 

[Matthew]

So no, just 1.6 8v /16v?

Yep.

 

[realnumber 1]

Only just seen this thread. Good to see you back in a decent car Matt!

Cheers mate! I'll be bringing myself to some meets again this year, it's been a while!

 

[Jimbo_M]

It shifted yes!

Was it amazon green dude? if so i can remember reading the issue with one of the features in lol

I was still on the VTS master cyl and still had ABS lol, ABS used to kick in a bit early some times but I've still yet to drive a car that braked as good!

I remember when you showed your VTS on PH, I had mine at the time.

 

[Matthew]

Do you guys think new Brembo/OEM dics all round and DS2500 pads would be adequate for general road use?

I remember my old VTR brakes were laughable....

 

[Jimbo_M]

Have a look at this kit on Kam's website, i had this on my VTS and it peformed well for fastroad use;

[Matthew]

Cheers mate. Been offered some DS2500's for cheap so probably gona go for them. Were awesome on the 182's so should have though they will be good on the saxo...
