Project Traxo

[GT3]

Is it a cone filter in there?

Yep pretty massive one. With the cams it sounds pretty mad, like a toned down throttle boddied noise.

Oh yeah it revs to 8k now and when its sorted will make peak power at 7800

This is a great car.

PLEASE keep it looking like it does above - ie, totally standard on the outside.

Hmmmm, maybe some nice light alloys, but defo nothing else.

Looks smart

The wolf in sheeps clothing look is always a winner

Custom carbon plate for switches... it's such a "Motorsport Innit" cliché but carbon is so cool you just can't resist can you?

Keep up the good work!

 

[GT3]

Future plans are:

- Quaife ATB diff
- More weight off (plastic rear window, non-sunroof panel, trim the dash, airbags out, roof lining out etc)
- Less barry exhaust, need to find a company that will do a 2.25" bore mandrel bent custom system with a plain oval tailpipe.
- Run brake lines inside car with hydraulic handbrake and adjustable bias valve.
- Set of lightweight track wheels with slicks keeping VTS wheels for sleeper road look.
- Mocal oil cooler, baffled sump and something to stop fuel surge when cornering very hard.

So plenty left to do and yep dont worry staying completely std outside

Nice work, I'm liking that a lot

 

[digitalwolf]

Excellent stuff GT3.

I'd love to be able to do all that to a Saxo. Such a sleeper.

What do you reckon the 0-60 will be now? High 5's/ low 6's?

 

[Hunders]

Very cool, perfectly modded. Nice one!

 

[ChoÞÞer]

wow, just been reading thru this! thanks to this project i want a blue saxo now for my first car damn you

 

[-westy-]

Looking good Paul, a fat rear ARB/TB is the way forward

If you're ever further down south we should have a play

 

[Puppetmaster]

nice project

whats the car like with that much power?

 

[NarChaDBaueR]

Looks very nice, but do as fox says and keep it as a sleeper, also change the vts/vtr sign for elegance or something like that =DD

Don't know not that bothered as I don't go round raping it in first gear off the lights everywhere! But probably around 6.

nice project

whats the car like with that much power?

Not really that much power really, but the suspension and brakes make it a pretty competent package overall. Want the diff next though so I can hoon it out of bends like I could in my old vtr's.

 

[spaz]

The quaiffe diff should make an already very very good car an awesome car

Great project, would love to do something similar once codename MEGAPAY comes to fruition

Maybe not a lot, but i have a 106 gti, so 150bhp etc is quite a lot for the car

Managed to take it down to a disused airfield today and got a quick 70-140 (indicated) vid starting from a steady cruise in 4th gear so takes a little to get going.

vid here

You get the idea though!

 

[Havana_UK]

That's pretty impressive acceleration from 100mph mate, nice one.

Hav

 

[agw_01]

That can't be right, can it

That's bloody rapid!

 

[TripleT]

Why did you start in 4th? You don't drive a diesel!

Get it ripping through the gears!

 

[[huzeeee]]

You can see the needle slow to a crawl at around 132 but that is super impressive 160 brake would be amazing in such a light car, what is the weight of it?
