theyre bloody easy to work on though, fitted an uprated clutch, lightened flywheel, new steering rack today wasnt hard at all. Once u get ur head round the silly layout of everything theyre pretty straight forward

I had such fun in the snow today

Danny: I live in Canford Heath just by tower park, so i am just round the corner from you!!!

Saxo-boy: well if i had the S/C I would have given a much better fight. You can get over 180bhp with a S/C VTR and remember the saxo weighs in less than a tonn.

It would have been very close with a UK WRX and you may have actually beat it with a s/c! The thing thats slightly disappointed with the s/c saxo's is that despite monster bhp figures (many 200bhp +) they just don't seem to stack up at Crail/Pod I can only assume its something to do with the spread of torque? Supercharged a vt* is fairly expensive and IMO takes some very sound knowledge to keep it running sweet....better to go for something that that fast out the box
