Hi,
Just purchased a Saxo VTS (many years since I owned botha series 1 and 2) and the car has been lowered (not sure which kit is fittted) and has had a aftermarket exhaust (again not sure which). I'm hoping to find out from my local garge on Tuesday when they get the car onthe ramps and do a full inspection.
The car is a 52plate, with only 38K genuine miles on the clock, full cream leather interior, FSH, been well looked after. Been fitted with 16" Team Dynamics Pro 1.2 (Black). The car is to be a daily driver and the intention is to maybe do some engine mods next year in the spring /summer. Brembo brakes fitted all round.
Thinking of either going for 15" Series 2 VTS alloys, or swapping to something silver in 16". I want the car to be fast, reliable and fun, but I also want to be able to hold a conversation with my nine year old daughter and not have my fillings shaken out.
Do I switch to a standard exhaust? Or are there any aftermarket ones which give performance gains without the excess noise - current one is way too loud above 3000rpm.
Also what about suspension? I want improved handling, but also want comfort. Car will not be going on a track. LAD used to do a fast road kit (I know how some people view LAD) but there suspension kit offered a good compromise between handling and comfort.
Recommendations most welcome. I don't want the throw money away and would rather sell the car on if nothing can do what I want - maybe I'm now too old for the VTS
