   Hello, I'm new to the site as I have recently purchased a vtr. My car before that was a fiesta zetec s which I loved and had a lot of fun in.
   The vtr is completely standard as was my zs but this one just feels flimsy and handles cr*p. Is it worth spending the money getting it on shocks and springs and better tyres or are they cars that handle rubbish whatever?
   
   Would really appreciate any feedback :-)

   I think Ash was taking the piss about. No its not a brilliant handling car as standard but better then most small cars. Will be allot better then the ZS, sayingthis as i have had both and hated the ZS with a passion!
   
   The saxo can be very good with a little work. Start with a good set of tyres, everything else is useless without. Then can go shocks/springs. All can buy a descent set of coilovers if you are going to be doing any track work.

   If your after some tyres, get some toyo proxies from camskill
   
   An the APEX suspension kit what kamracing sell is very well recommend...
