Rapid, circa 800kg's and atleast 120bhp makes them rather nippy.
Inside looks like an arsehole!

It wouldn't let me copy the picture on my phone from the ad for some reason so had to screen shot it.

I can quite believe the 155bhp in honesty, the JP4 engine respond's really well to modification. My old standard GTi made 133bhp, that thing was rapid..
E90 M3
That would give it circa 230bhp/T. If those figures are correct (like Danny I can certainly see no reason not to believe it), it would be rapid. I'd seriously consider a cage, lol.
Great minds Tom, ha!

I was just about to say, thats well above 220bhp/tonne!
If that is right it'll be about 5.5s to 60mph F L O L.

This is the spec from the advert;
Car has had a lot of time and money spent on it, Its main feature being an engine conversion from a mk1 citroen saxo vts 1.6 16v which makes it a very quick little thing for the size/weight of it, Its being completely stripped out EVERY unnecessary part has been removed to save weight as this is a track day car,
Car has some mot march 29th 13, So could be driven back if taxed (currnetly has no tax, I cant tax either as im no longer insured on the car)
Its just been fitted with a new cluth and a low mileage saxo vtr gearbox due to the thrust bearing going and the car jamming in gear (receipt to prove)
Here is a list of the mods off the top of my head:
saxo vts engine, saxo vtr gearbox with new clutch (mileage unknown on either engine or shell due to the car been fitted with saxo clocks)
421 raceland exhaust manifold
cda induction kit
engine bay sprayed and car fully waxoiled
straight through performance exhaust
unlocked ecu
modified top engine mount
apparently its running newman ph3 high lift cams although ive never had the covers off
saxo radiator and fan (fan is wired to a manual switch within the car)
push button start (sometimes button takes a few pushes but it always starts)
two sparco bucket seats
luke 4 point harness
bonnet raised kit
bonnet shutter clips
racing steering wheel and boss kit
citroen c5 super light steel wheels
drilled and grooved big brake disk conversion, still drum on rear
lowered all round about 50mm at a guess not sure on make of the springs of dampers
braided brake lines
car has a very small oil leak from the rocker cover gasket, (common on this engine)
Thats about all i can think of at the moment, But il add if i remember anything else as the auction goes on,
Please remember this car is over 20 years old any rust has been seen too its been built by the previous owner for one purpose," Track car" but road legal at the same time its still on the logbook as a 1.4 new owner will have to amend this if they wish,
I was planning on tracking this car myself but due to my girlfriend falling pregnant i have to sell both my cars for a sensible every day one, Weight figures i was told 660kg and power figures 152bhp not sure how true they are but i can say this car will give alot my powerfull cars a run for there money its rapid as you can imagine,

as said it should be an animal lol . i had a 106 gti last yr that was around 152bhp and semi stripped an it was crazy , struggled to put the power down tbh , an ate gearboxes for fun in the process lol

That 106 is tidy! :approve:
I'm surprised you haven't already bought it!
iceberg phase 2 172
sold it after a few months , just wasnt right for everyday driving etc with the paddle clutch an no powersteering lol . so bought a more standard 106 then
Just weighing it up mate. The low mot on an old car makes me ring piece twitch as I'd need to drive it to da track, innit.
Ah. You've got the perfect bus for towing though...
If you don't buy that send me the details, I'll pick it up this weekend
My mate had a valvered AX - it f**king flew. I couldn't keep with it in the Clio!

iceberg phase 2 172

il pm u in a bit dan save spamming this thread lol
I had the vtr box on my old rallye and it was frowned upon. What's actually the problem with the box?
VTR box is way too long and it has huge holes between 1st 2nd and 3rd - it's a horrible box
Citroen whacked it on the VTR to slow it down because there wasn't enough of a gap between a VTR and VTS
My old GTi had a VTR box on when I bought it and it was utter shite off the line
