yup, Wayne gave one a proper spanking in his freakishly fast valver then gave the kid a lesson in driving. I had one as my last car, not that quick, but they handle superbly, I thrashed the shit outta mine and got to know it's limits and could keep up with much quicker cars. really needs more power tho... then it would be a great car

What engines can you transplant into them?

In fairness as we came off the r/bout he had a dippy bint in one of those shitty mark 1 clio rust bucket things in front of him and she didn't move over. Said r/bout happens to be one of my faves for gunning it round as there's a camber on the actual r/bout, so as you nail it and take your exit you get airborne!

Anyway, I don't fvck about. I pissed off up the inside lane. As did he but he never stood a chance!

It's a top r/bout. I had some nutter in Nov. An old guy in an XJR giving it full beans on the inside of me. He was actually going past and I had already reached the limits of traction and started to drift wide! Good lad.

Also come off that launch bit before trying to get past a car and slowly went past as the launch had broken traction in 2nd! There were some shocked faces as I went past wheelspinning in 2nd! :P

They fly when you put the 1.7 yamaha engine out of the racing puma in them.

Good chassis. :D

What power does that have?

yea, the zetec SE was designed by yamaha.

160bhp std.

I have a friend with one in his zetec S on S1600 puma throttle bodies, headwork, cams, 8600rpm and 227bhp......its a little bit fast lol.

2.1 zetec turbo is the other popular one... not sure on cost, but the chassis can take a hell of a lot more power than the 110 standard or whatever they are... I liked mine, maybe I should have done some stuff to it...

My friend has a silver ons and a red one. Red one was alot quicker, but both mighty fine cars.

Although out handled by my other friends 4 wheels steer import non turbo 200 sx on numerous occasions. :D

they are very good cars, and cheap!

could be made into a fun track car.

Saxos will be the next big thing for enthusiasts wanting cheap track cars. I guarantee it. Next to the late 16vs VTSs look like very good money at the mo.

very true!!!!

awesome car for the money, no way i'd pay for a 106gti for the same car.

ditto, bang for buck they are amazing and the bad image they seem to be losing a bit now, so that's a bonus... hmm, got me thinking...

I got a few people thinking on a few forums with the saxo thing! Can be picked up for £2k for the better looking phase 1. Makes the valver seem a little overpriced given the age difference.

There's some good low milers in original spec on the trader at the mo.

yea, the engine is a good un, and you can make it awesomely quick! :lol:

And they're the last of the feather-light hot hatches really. Strip it, cage it and a few mods and you'd have a bit of a flyer. Prolly not great for higher speeds though on track I'd have thought.

BenR

screw the cage!
thats putting weight back in! lol

Yeah but you don't want to crash in one! They made them out of double-skinned tin foil you know. :lol:

BenR
19-05-2005, 11:56
then dont crash :P

Ordinarily I'd agree but my motor has had 2 crashes in the last 12 months, neither my fault. I have a different perspective of things now.

use it only on track then lol.

no way are they only £2k!?!? That's depreciated more than a ... :shock: :? :wink: :lol:

...nah, still want and Evo 3 next :D
