   Hi, i bought my 03 1.1i saxo last year and I love it i think it's really nippy for the engine size and i've started moding it. However bein abit of a girl racer I decided to get abit more adventurous and I want to put a 1.6 VTR or VTS engine in him. I just wanted abit of advise basically on how to go about this. I wouldnt be fitting it i'll leave that to my mechanic, however, i need to know what parts ect to get for it? Do I just need the engine???
   
   Thanks you Lil

   Not just the engine. Brakes and other bits need changing! Much more cost effective to just buy a Vtr/Vts!
