I recently sold my xsara. unfortunately I didn't buy a ZX 16v. I bought myself another 16V.

I'm the proud owner now of a Saxo VTS 1.6 16V BiTone. A really quick small car (0-100km/h in 7.2 sec)

picture of my old & new car

some quick pics. Yes the car is very dirty....

V-max coil over set

NExt thing to do is to replace all de bearing rubbers from the front suspension. Steering is very wooly.....

And I bought a nice set of 15 inch LeMans wheels. The same that where fitted under the zx 16v phase 2. They are gonna look very nice under my saxo

here are some pictures of the wheels

They will be fitted with falken ZIEX ZE912 tyres. Size 195-45-15. Excelent wet and dry grip, but low cost...

Still haven't fitted the wheels. Tomorrow I will spraypaint and clear coat the wheels for the last time. So they can be fitted next week. here's a sneak preview

I also fitted the saxo with a laser sport exhaust 100mm.

I also fitted a carbon airbox intake for cool air intake. Sound of that is really great @ 7000+ revs.

Sound inside the car (with standard exhaust)

HAven't been here for quite a while.

have done a lot on the saxo 16v

fitted self polished ATS Classic CUP wheels

bought some nice tuning parts

spaghetti manifold

supersprint De-CAT centre exhaust

New Green Bi-Cone air filter for better flow

Quick shifter

And I got a set of CATCAMS 708 camshafts. (still have to be fitted) After re-writing the engine management this car will hopefully produce 160 HP.
Quite nice for a 900 kg vehice.... cheesygrin

Also did some experiment with plasidip coating on the rear bumper
