I wanted something a bit faster that would be more suited to doing some track days next year. There’s also a lot more aftermarket parts and parts are also a lot cheaper for the saxo so it seemed like the better idea Oh cool. I don't know much about them, but I've heard they can rip round a track okay. Gotta question that French reliability on the track over the Jap motor, but that's just down to lack of understanding. I know my brother once tried racing a VTS off the lights in his Civic Type R EP3 and was worryingly surprised when he struggled to lose it. Back in day, a few of my friends had VTR's but I never gave them much thought. You sticking around on the forum? Be interesting to see where you go with it. Link to post Share on other sites

The engines are supposed to be solid it’s just the rest of the car that seem to fall apart around them but they don’t seem too bad overall. I’ll do a vts swap eventually I’m sure but the vtr seemed like a good option for a first track car being cheap and reasonably quick compared to other cars at the same price and insurance is cheaper than on the starlet and they handle really well. And I don’t see why I won’t stick around the forum I’m certain I’ll own a glanza one day so got no reason to leave.

Could do with some spacers to pull them out a bit but I promised I wouldn’t spend any more money on the car Link to post Share on other sites

HarrisonS Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 So the car sold last week but I’ll not be gone for good. Hopefully I’ll be back in a couple of years in something turbo’d. Admin can lock this thread now if you want. Finally a picture of the replacement at a local meet. (Yellow Saxo VTR) Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Flip me, I havent seen a VTR in years now! Last one I saw had been resprayed in the same colour as my EP lol. Enjoy the new car bud. You'll be back - everyone comes back, everyone! Phil. Link to post Share on other sites
