   insurance depends on differant things but in no particular order :-
   
   admiral
   direct line
   quinn direct
   elephant.co.uk
   hastings
   
   confused.com and moneysupermarket.com/insurance are search engines but best to contact the insurer direct as these make a profit off your qoute/policy

    ive checked parkers for mine
    
    its a saxo 1.1i sx
    
    0-60 in 12secs, i think thats pretty quick for a small engine,
    
    Top speed- 101 mph, ive got 110, but it wouldnt supprise me if the speedo was out.
    
    
    A 1.4 Westcoast's 0-60 is 10.8, top speed - 109mph and has 75bhp

    also, bhp isnt everything,i know that the 1.4 TU engines and possibly all of them have lighter fly wheels than most cars in the same catogory. Hence why a corsa 1.4 8v with 75bhp does 0-60 in 14 or 15 secs and the westy does it in 10.8 on paper! Dont say a saxo is lighter than a corsa b as they are about the same i should imagine! Citroen had to do something to the 8v's to make them competetive with other companies 1.4 16v units, so they put lighter flywheels in.. Lose out a bit on torque but rev out loads quicker! Good old PSA group eh!

    yea i dnt know how peopl can say 1.4's are slow that have prob never been in one. 10.8 isnt excatly slow for a 1400. mu mate has a mk1 vtr, engine has 110k on and mine keeps up with it until about 70 then he starts 2 pull away. strip it and a few small changs and they will keep up with sum vtrs quite easy.

    Them Westcoast aint slow slow.......but there not fast.......just a slower version of the VTR........i drove a Furio which has the same engine and i wasnt impressed obv but i was gutted cos it was just fine for a 1.4
    
    
    I cud tell the difference soon as i got bk in my VTR so much more power through the rev range, but it does have like 25bhp more and alot more torque
    
    Though im finding my VTR slow now......time for Kent Cams, Vener Pulleys, Superchip, remap, manifold, stainless exhaust system & CDA Filter.......then ill be flying
    
    VTR's will win in a race cos they will just pull away at higher speed and do you on top speed.......if u was to race around a small bendy track there wudnt be much in it......obv the VTR prob will get past after a while though

    why not just a vts engine instead the mods if your just looking for speed.

    I wud like a VTS engine but id rather just buy a VTS then put an engine in myn.......though i wud like to see how the VTR engine will perform with these mods on........and i wanna see peoples Faces who drive Starlet GT Turbos and VTS's when they see a VTR fly past them
    
    Though them GT turbos aint fast fast.......hardly gets away from me, in my basicly standard VTR

    i went down to santa pod....i knows its a place where you test your own car but obviously when wen 2 drivers are testing there cars, they are going at it with each other. I got 4 drives in. Came up with a westcoast 2 times and i beat them by 4-5 seconds! i killed a 1.4 16v polo by 3 seconds and got raped by the.......you guessed it.....vts! ....overall westcoast are rapid but it will never touch the VTR, be it on a drag or country farmer roads!

    jus wackin a vts lump in you saxo for speed seems like a good idea, but personally id rather have for example a VTR lump and tune it up to the vts standards, then ethen when i look back on what iv done, it'l be quite impressive.Self satisfaction!
