    You wouldn't miss it so much when you got yourself a vts.
    What mods do you currently have on?

    VTS engine is the most economical but not always insurance friendly.

    Strip it out, will make it more nippy in theory. If not there is a huge list.

    Manifold
    Cams etc.

    Also, remember that a good suspension and brake set up will help as well.

    120bhp as standard.

    Cams on the 1.4 may take it to 105bhp... maybe? Still not as much as the vtr.

    There is a mango 1.4 on here with a throttle boddied vts lump. Awesome!

    Upload some pics to photobucket mate, then copy the IMG CODE over and paste it in your comment.

    £2000/2500 + a small bit of diy fitting should see you the parts for a new very basic turbo setup to your 1.4. It should make it see off any stock saxo. £500/1000 more and you will be seeing off even a VTS with fast road cams with throttle bodies and stand alone management.
