Saxo VTS as a track car



  Skoda Fabia VRS
I feel like I should slide myself in here. I've got a fair amount of mods for sale as I'm currently breaking mine OP.

266mm Brakes
Buckers/harnesses/subframes
VTS Wheels with AD08R's

PM me if you want to talk further, I don't really like sales pitches and hijacking.

Car looks very very clean, going to be a cracking base.

yep VTS for sure, they will go up as we all remember them, most are thrashed or dead so peoples desire to own a little bit of their yooooof will mean the few left will go up

MK2's will not go up in value, they've been dropping drastically since circa 2014. The MK1's will, as there really is very little left.
106 GTi's have also taken a plummet lately, but then you get the usual idiots adding Sundance/Cheery tax to their cars.

Why are mk1's so desirable over mk2's? Finding any VTS in this condition is nothing short of f**king miraculous i tend to disagree with you.

Because they're older, less common and effectively rarer. I never said they're more desirable, and this isn't also my point, it's just a fact that they are (and will continue to be) worth more than MK2's. MK2's tend to be used as track cars more, due to people not wanting to mess around with a MK1.

I can't wait to post the picture of my MK1 shell being scrapped.

Gonna jump in here.

Saxo's/106's are brilliant track cars, the running costs are so cheap... can buy an engine with bigger cams and change for the price of an F4R belt change.

I've got a 106 GTi, with a fairly decent spec, satchel itbs, safety devices cage etc

Best thing for these cars is to lose the weight, sticky tyres and better brakes and then go from there.

I use 266mm brakes with mintex 1144 pads and mtec dimpled and grooved discs, it stops better than my megane with brembos.

Suspension wise, I'm using Gaz GHA's, but it's down to preference, a lot of others use B8's with Faulkners, gas do have damping and height adjustability though...

I absolutely loved my vts and really regret getting rid when the gearbox went. Should have just sorned it and got it sorted. It wasn't the best example though.

Looks like you've found a cracker there.

Just to confirm I have been told by the wife that I am building this in to a track car for the ring in August and no you cant keep it to flog later no matter how good it is ..............

I regret taking all the interior out of my 106. The weight difference was minimal at best but I suppose you get the race car feelz.

The car is only for track and driving to tracks so this will be ok .

The rear bits and spare wheel I make around the 50 Kg mark so it all helps .

then it's time for:-
Plastic windows.
Drilling out 50% of the plastic in the bumpers....because aero isn't a thing at all.
Side-exit zorst (shorter = lighter)
