Project Traxo
- Thread starter GT3
- Start date
Got my mate to lower the back end today to match the front. A tad higher than the front to maintain std handling balance. Looks much better now without going to far and slamming it in the weeds. (sorry for cameraphone pics, only just got back and dark outside now)
Doesn't really warrant a new thread so just thought i'd throw a few pics of my mates xsi in here. Nice standard looking xsi but with vts engine, forged internals, big turbo, standalone management, quaife gearset and lsd, internal brake lines with bias valve etc etc still work in progress as he's banned but should be a monster when done. 750kg and 250bhp

Quad headlamps that might not even be staying on and some wheels off another peugeot. I'd say it does look pretty standard tbh.

Yeah its how I wanted it, little bit lower so it doesnt look daft especially when it got stripped. But high enough to retain compliance. It handles absolutely awesomely yet doesn't bounce about or bottom out over bumps.
On my drive or in my double garage if its raining. My mate did torsion bar though as I didn't have the tools or experience to do it. After watching him I reckon I'd give it a go in future though 
If I had a suitiable camera then yeah some vids would be not a problem! Was thinking of putting a bullet cam where the towing eye is on the front.

Sorry for lack of updates, as usual waiting for parts to arrive! But did do a small mod today! 
The ingredients
Stripped down
Half-way
All together:
Needs a remap as there are a couple of flat spots and it doesn't idle at all but first impressions are good. Left my mates Clio Trophy for dead

Just read the whole thread.. what a great project.. My mates got a 97 VTS that he seems to be running into the ground and just can't be arsed to sell, I'll point him here, and see if he fancies making something decent from it!!
Update! Not updated in a while and had a few things done! Sorry for crap pics it was nearly dark.
Seats in with custom solid frames and Luke 3" harnesses.
Quickshift in painted matt black with carbon sparco knob and custom carbon plate for window switches.
106 GTI leccy mirror control so I can adjust them again as saxo ones are part of the doorcard.
OMP anthracite upper and lower braces, anthracite rocker covers and green enclosed induction kit.
Pic showing ride height etc.
It has been remapped. Some problem with it at the moment though with breathing at top end so power curve is dropping off too early according to mapper. Only made 153bhp but he said get it sorted and he will map it again and will see over 160 which I am more than happy with.
