   Get some ultra bright bulbs for your foglights, paint your wheels orange and get some Viper stripes.
   
   That should have you see off any other saxo on the planet

   God, i envy you. i would get a rwd conversion and (i haven't seen it in a saxo) a toyota celica 1.8. These can be tuned to high heaven. turbo'd your looking at about 400-500hp being sensible. that would make an awesome saxo. especially if you kept it looking like a standard 1.1

    would be, but it would be too heavy for the chassis, would be horrific. u need a lightweight engine with lots of power. e.g. turbo's. jap engine are your best bet. sr20det is the engine i would suggest actually. there is a clio rallycross car with one mounted in the back, putting out 700hp! 4wd

    Someone dreaming ?
    
    If you made 'the fastest saxo' It would be pointless unless you just plan to drag race it ?
    Silly amounts off power in fwd car which weighs as much as a can of coke (About as safe as one aswell) Is ridiculous.
    
    Even if you did spend alot on suspension etc, The power to weight ratio would be stupid and wouldn't exactly help being fwd.
    You'd end up spinning on the spot so much you'd be wearing through your wheels where your tyres would go so quick

    same as above .talk to people who have done major conversions ,but make sure you tell them what it is to be used for ,so you end up with a car you can live with,
    just finishing a 106 with s/c today --278@wheels 303@fly@ 6347rpm @1.2bar of boost
    ,stopped cos we run out of injectors ,awaitng the customer to see where he wants to go now --not sure how much more power a normal mortal could use in anything but a straight line in 2 wd drive.

    Type in "zcars saxo" into google and you'll get on theere site. They offer a honda civic type R engine conversion or a 2.3 ford engine. Both can be turbo'd at extra cost. Conversion costs from 5 grand but obviously the more you spend the more you get.
    If you're genuine about this then that's your best option.

    The road, if for road users. Not boyracers. V8 ? get an M3. You will probably die before you blitz some of them Evos, mind. I find it extremely stupid to spend 30 grand on a saxo just to "blitz" scoobies.
    
    Also, if you spend all that, you won't have much to pay for the insurance, which will be bound to be stupidly high, along with the tax disc. I hope you planned on declaring it... How old are you, how many years NCD etc ?

    Ok ive got an idea. Take a subaru Impreza running gear - 4WD, then mount it with a heavily modified RB26DETT Engine (Skyline R34) and completly reinforce the car to take the strain. Then voila one hell of a monster.

    but why buy a type r engine at silly money you can get near as much bhp form a boosted saxo vts ,seemy s/c posts on our affliate site.
    and at less monay .
    as fro making rwd --wouldnt, consider it ,will cost al ot more and you end up with a 2 seater --
    it will never handle well ,only advantage wold be for dragracing --
    you might as well buy a kit car +stick something in it

    If i had £30,000
    
    Attempt 4wd and hopefully succeed.
    Supercharged VTS engine with all the other goodies. (350bhp is a good figure and would be fairly usable)
    Brembo 6 pots or some other mental brakes.
    Gaz coilovers and all the usual stuff.
    
    Then that is it really, stripped to hell with a amazing cage and buckets in. Probably wouldn't come to £30,000, so i would keep the change to spend when things go wrong and maintaining the car.
    
    EDIT!
    
    Scrap all that and just buy a S1600 rally car!

    Why the hell would you want to blow most of 30k on a saxo... are you mad! Id throw atleast 20k on a house/flat and buy a nice 8k motor and pay off insurance tax for the year... Money well spent if you asked me.
    
    Or set up a business... even better.

    I was bidding on a gasturbine on ebay not that long ago that I had intention on fitting in a AX. If you keep your eyes open you can pick them with no logbook and no certificate at a sensible price as they are no longer legal to use in aircraft. Being shaft drive they are like any other engine conversion to fit though have massive torque so require heavy drive train normally off a small truck / van. You could also go for a turbojet but it tends to limit what you can do with the thing after. There was a fully working one on ebay the other month with control box for under £2000 though. All great fun

    The idea of this thread and having 30k to spend is not very believable, but here goes...
    custom straight through exhaust, enclosed induction kit, get a 1800cc stroker kit, throttle boddies, and tripple-charge Twin-Turbo+Supercharger, NOS kit, completely custom drivetrain (would be needed for the ridiculous torque), standalone ECU, remapping costs, all relevant intercoolers etc.
    
    30k well spent, and it should still leave you with enough money for your funeral when you drive it.

    To be fair if i had that sort of money laying spare i probably would spend it on the saxo.
    Imagine the face of a Porsche/Ferrari/Skyline/Subaru owner when you fly past them in a Saxo LOL £30000? The look on their faces? Priceless!

    4WD, widen the track, bigger wider wheels, and a stupid fast turbo engine. Get the engineers on the case now!
    
    Or Citroen could get off their ass and make a new decent hot hatch
