Have you seen the price of a decent one?!
Believe me if they were cheap I'd have one, they're SO much fun.

I had a 106 gti. Didn't last long though  :grin:
I replaced it with a Saxo vts. I put in some catcams 708 had it remapped and it made 163bhp. Stripped it a bit. Prob got it to 900kg

It was by far the best fun car iv had. Very quick and handled great loved it. Been thinking about getting another  :grin: faster than a 172 cup too.

The build is shocking though

With catcam 808, solid lifters, change of valve springs, itb and some head porting. They can make between 180 and 190 bhp. That power and 800kg is a awesome fast road car!

I'm tempted by a 106 or Saxo tbh, they're CHEAP!
But if I ever overstepped it's capabilities and more importantly mine. I'm pretty much dead, they don't hold up well in crashes do they?


I hit a tree at 60mph. shattered my femur, but thats because I tensed up on inpact lol I'll try find the pics


worth a watch too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04cG9x6JaZ4 spanks a leon cupra r  :grin:
