As you already know, you have a sweet ride, one of the best little chassis ever! Having owner a 106 1.4 myself, I know pretty well how nimble such car is! My poor 106 had just 75 hp + K&N filter (in original box) + remus exhaust , so maybe 80 hp max :D and it was already great fun :D

The VTR is simply better :D and I love it in that color :D

BTW, have you ever driven the SportKa? And if yes, how did you find it compared to the Saxo?

thanks dude for the kind comments.

i have driven the sport ka yes.not far though as it was hard enough tryin to to make him giv me the keys in the first place.it is a nippy little car with 95hp.it handles really well.......better than the saxo?.......same really,but its smoother with it bein a brand new car and all.performance wise in acceleration..........i personally thought it was slightly slower.not much but enough to tell the difference.straight line speed i could keep riught behind him when we raced.he has had 120mph out of it right beside me so the factory saying 108mph is bollocks,lol
at the end of the day its a ford ka,fair enough it looks nicer than regular 1.3 ka's with this havin the bodykit and 16's but to me its still fucking ugly and yes i got a slap when i said that infront of my cousin,but he doesnt like the saxo but i do respect his car for what it is overall.

there is a review of the sport ka for u IN MY TOPIC OF MY SAXO,lol

what can i say overall though,if i had the money i would choose the saxo,just my personal preferance :D

Stick with the Saxo, it's waay cooler than a girly Sport Ka! :lol:

I've said it before, the Saxo is cool. Now you just need to get the 100bhp version!

well hopefully i will do in the future.i sure as hell am aiming for that one.as i told u on MSN in the futre expect my project VTR to come to life.130hp in a car that weighs 940kg should be great :wink:

And what about stripping it down and taking it under the 900 kg mark? cheaper than adding hp ;)

Nice pocket car, is the first time I see one of those cause her where I live we dont have Citroens yet, nice car dude! :mrgreen:

^^^ thank you. :D

TT - for this saxo it will remain pretty much as it is i think.if im changing anythin i think it would be rims as i could easily pass those onto the newer saxo when i get it.this project will be in the future but for sure i will remove as much weight as possible.lighter materials aswell will be added liek lighter front seats etc.
but have to start doin the one big thing.....saving the money,lol

lol go buy your own towing vehicle.

me i drive a little saxo with assisted direction and she didn"t handle very much but she is very funny in the round not. And the gear are very short so it's amusing in the city.
My saxo handle not very much so you can drift a little, it's my favorite little car.
With not a lot of power you can enjoy yourself.

what engine is in your saxo nutsy.cant be a VTR with the short gears as the VTR gears are long.they are actually longer than the faster VTS model.5th gear is anyway

Why not to add it to the "registry" then? :) the more the better :D

It's my parents car so i'm not the owner of this car.
And for you information it's not the vts but just the 1.1 60hp Who is enough in a huge traffic jam like around my place.
But nice car for me anyway.
