Spaxo . . Haters???

[Sam-]

Got a few mates with clios on here, get a bit of piss taken out me for having a saxo . . because naturally there Pikey.
What are your opinions on mine?

So . . . . Prepare myself for abuse

 

[Christopher]

Bit pikey.

 

[iimushroomzii]

Pikey.

 

[Rob]

You Adam's mate then? I think I recognise the car (the clio)

You from around this way? Can't say I've seen your saxo....

I like most of it, bar the bonnet raisers, awful. Oh and the fact you only have one bucket seat.

 

[Hazza]

f**king pikey

 

[nozza89]

pikey















lol

 

[Gaz_]

Gheys! Saxo's are ace if we a talking nice unmolested VTR/VTS

 

[sideways danny]

Nothing wrong with Saxos, just a ruined reputation from being owned by tossers in the majority.



erm.....you do know someone painted your wheels purple?

 

[Naith]

you the lad that married your cousin?

 

[Christopher]

D'ya loik... dags?

Whos adam? That clio is my mate Alex's. He aint had it long tho.

Tbh saxos are pretty crap, build quality isnt exactly the best. But there fun to drive, and isnt that much slower than the 172 in the photo.

 

[JCC]

Black bonnet with lifters just looks like it's been in a smash.

 

[edewer]

i want a spaxo. wanna ghetto mod it too. attack it with an angle grinder and make it as light as possible!

Exactly. VTS would be my choice, but a VTR is very underrated, lovely old school lift over over steer hatch imo

 

[Gaz.]

As shite as my car is, I'm still going to join the general consensus and say Pikey.

Mate you wouldn't believe the amount of tools on sax-p. No joke some guy the other day was complaining because he put his £600 vtr through a farmers hedge and the farmer wanted £60 for the hedge, he couldnt afford to pay for it because he has no job and a baby on the way.

 

[cander08]

they get that rep mate . i like them , good looking cars . can be made to b pretty rapid with the right mods

 

[Gaz_]

Aye, other half has a standard 106 GTI, love it! She used to have a VTR, i think they are a good drivers car, plenty of lessons to be learnt about handling imo. Just a shame loads fell into the wrong hands

 

[Christopher]

Truth be told, I'd rather have a clean VTS than a 106 GTi.

Standard though. Or maybe just breathing mods and coilovers.

 

[Darren S]

Cheap as chips and good all-rounders, imo. I've only driven a VTR though, not a VTS yet. Would look better with the alloys being black rather than purple.

D.

 

[Sam-]

They handle quite well with the basic suspension and tyres mods, but wouldnt say there very stable to drive. If you dont pay attention you can get understeer, lift off oversteer.

 

[Washington]

How badly would you be killed if you crashed in a VTS/R compared to a 106 GTi?

 

[Sam-]

But then i'd be just like everyone else. I've painted other parts to kind of make purple a bit of a theme.

 

[Sam-]

Erm you'd be dead in either.
IIRC there the GTI is basically the same car as the VTS just different body work. Still about as strong as a midget with parkinsons.

Fair play, then.

[Gaz_]

not as bad as people think. Gally on here knows the truth!

 

[ABOO]

What is the truth? Can we handle the truth????

 

[jenic]

Thought vts' were on the CS list of approved non renaults :S

 

[Gaz.]

My mate's saxo was pretty bent after a head on at about 15/20mph. It bent back easy enough though, cheap french metal is easy to work with.

 

[conneh]

Seen an AWESOME Saxo parked outside mine the other day.

Had a saxperiance sticker in the window i think. Would be great if you were on that forum and knew the car i'm talking about - pictures would be great!

It's blue, has a huge spoiler for downforce (It needed it, by the sound of it).
Had a massive hood, with slats, cuts and gashes with a raised middle (I'm asumeing this was down to the massive turbo engine conversion under it, which brings me onto my next point...)
It had a dump valve noise when it drove away, so it must have a turbo - i'm guessing its fast. (I suspect an electronic noise thing to be down with the cruisers).
It also had an awesome, silver contrasting intake cone in the lower bumper (Every saxo owner knows maximum air flow to their turbo = more maxPOWER).
Think it had wolf face wheels, or what ever they are.
Huge exhaust to get that power out.

If you know the car, please post it. I could do with another laugh.

 

[VeinAST]

No ta.

Nothing wrong with a Saxo... VTS = Bargain 106 GTI.

But tbh the bonnet and wheels look crap. STD facelifted vts wheels, slightly lowered. Done.

What really annoys me about the pikey saxo owners is slamming it on the back as it's free and buying cheap shite springs for the front that don't lower it enough and ruin the handling... which is it's saving grace tbh.

 

[ABOO]

I'd have a Saxo VTS and put up with the image problem. Anyone who knows anything about cars IMO appreciates the VTS for what it is, a performance bargain with quite a bit of potential:approve:

wouldn't say it was free. Could you lower a torsion beam? And if you dont lower it stupidly and put decent shocks on then the handling isnt ruined.

I will admit that some saxo owners have questionable tastes though.
Enjoy these beauties. P.S i think i found the one mentioned above.

 

[Sir_Dave]

I think you drove to Hampton and bought my spax suspension .... i could be wrong though!!

 

[Sam-]

Yep. Very pleased with it thanks.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Yep. Very pleased with it thanks.

Wahay!! Glad to hear it

Saxo's ftw ....

 

[Firas]

not too sure on the purple wheels and lifters but the rest looks nice. they are very capable cars to say the least. been in a mates vts a few times and it felt faster than my other mates galanza.

 

[ABOO]

I think you gonna hate your trackday this week Sir Dave and need to sell it to me!!!

Awesome build thread mate!!!
