Saxo Turbo

[leeds_182]

Just came across this video on the Rallye forum.

Looks pretty quick and the new owner seems happy!

He starts really opening it up at around 3 mins...

 

[rich-6]

Love his face once its warmed up, Like a kid in a sweetshop

 

[The Boosh!]

Good video that I thought!

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

proper job that like.

 

[Adamm.]

Awesome! had to laugh at some of the faces the passenger was pulling.

350hp in a saxo must be mental.

 

[Nick172Cup]

I know that feeling when getting your car back after a load of work was done, though 350bhp in a saxo seems pointless to me.

 

[Kane.]

That looks f**king epic.

 

[Ian_182]

It doesn't look pointless,it bloody flies along.

 

[Matt Cup]

Kin' hell!

Is that still a 1.6?

 

[Plummer]

Price tag?

 

[Junior Bear]

His facial expressions are priceless


Money well spent!

 

[nevillemaycry3]

Looks like good fun!

 

[Addicted]

Crazy power for a Saxo!

 

[Jaff.]

Price tag?

Who cares, the guy is going to feel like that every time he gets in his car! Priceless!

People that want the same thing care how much it costs, so they know how much money to save lol

Might be a good place to start then

 

[tonyd106]

That must be silly quick, looks good fun.

 

[Jason_E]

Lad local to me has a Pug 106 with about 360bhp. Should be going in Evo mag soon! MENTAL power in small cars always makes me laugh!

 

[mr_n]

Haha, only a matter of time for that video to appear here. Known Wayne a while, good lad and has spent a small fortune on that car. It did blow a fuel injector out on the way home though but is all fixed now. Cant speak highly enough of Atspeed racing. Great attention to detail and very impressive mapping skills. They have a red 106 with circa 500Bhp and a white rallye they are working on for FCS will be making roughly the same.
Glad my car is going to them then!!!

 

[turner24]

Passengers face is comical!

Bloody shifts tho!

 

[RDH]

That looks scary fast...... but it is still a Saxo.

I think that's what makes it better.

He'll get some snob in his 'prestige' Renault Clio having a go and he'll be able to blow them into next week!

 

[Danith]

Fair play. That is a f**king beast!!!! Saxo or not, I want that. Proper geeks like, can't imagine that tuner driver guy popping up on fast & furious!

'Well jel'.

 

[Gouldy]

I love cars like this, smashing motor IMO and it looks like it shifts!

 

[!sean172!]

the facial expressions say it all ,that is fuckin mental

 

[DanielJames]

wow.

Proper website B)

Lol, I'm aware that I drive a Clio.

But Saxo's are the biggest piles of sh*t going. I couldn't care less if it could blow Veyrons into next week, I would rather walk.

All IMO of course, I understand alot of people like them and say they are great cars/great to drive etc. I just despise them.

Although by stripping it he has vastly improved the interior.

They built this also , there quick until 4th gear goes haha

 

[leeroybrown]

Lovely kid Wayne is.

Spent years saving a small fortune, he has the best of the best when it comes to parts

 

[Englebert]

FLOL! His face! Brilliant.

And therein lies the problem with conversions like these, as fun as they are i'm sure...

 

[Christopher]

Superb vid! His face is priceless... I'm guessing that power figure definitely has a price though.

Thats why he bought my old suspension! Only the best. I understand alot of people hate these cars but im one of the people that love them, yes for what ive spent on mine i could of bought a modified a clio but i like the saxo. As does Wayne.


The rest of the car looks like this:

BE Picasso Box with a gripper diff to handle the power.

And a full carbon roof skin:

[shell-vt]

yer just seen this posted on sax-p, he looks happy

 

[alex-avfc]

A lad I know has a turbo converted 106, also done mostly with ATspeed. That's running about 250bhp, I went in it when it was running low boost at around 220bhp, was stunned, seeing 140 on the dials whilst you're strapped into a tin shell is quite disconcerting!

 

[Chris_786]

Emmense power for bragging rights, but I just couldnt find the love in my heart to get into something like this EVERY day.

As fast as cars like this are, you pull up in your Saxo and it's still a Saxo no matter whats under the bonnet or however much money you chuck at it.

Full respect to the guy for doing it, just not my cup o' tea.

 

[Ian_182]

Bit of a strong word to say s**t cars,especially on a clio forum.

I think with the money spent on a certain car a proton could be a proper quick car,and much improved.Still a proton but a quick one.

 

[r900smp]

If money was no object id fork out the £**** to make a similair car rather than buy a new car....
