My original idea was to take part in some track days, 
but quickly became more fun than I had originally imagined!

SAXO VTR - Sept 2000 model (90 BHP)

It started out as bog standard but now has the following specification:

Stage 1...

	Full L.A.D. (Morcambe) head and exhaust conversion (supposedly)
	Free-flow 4 into 2 into 1 Janspeed manifold (AX modified)
	Magnex de-cat pipe

	Eibach -40mm front springs (std dampers)
	Willwood 285mm vented and drilled disks
	Willwood 4 pot alloy racing calipers.
	EBC rear slotted and dotted discs
	EBC Greenstuff pads back and front
	Sparco 4 point 3" wide harnesses (used for track days only)
	Pipercross induction kit
	4 TSW Adikt 'High' wheels with 195/45x15 Falken tyres Also 4 spares with various shagged rubber for dry track days (cheaper than slicks!)
	BHP - 86 at the wheels or approx 110 at the flywheel

Stage 2....

	GMC Stage 3 Supercharger kit (using standard compression) up to 2.5 Ltr unit See pics here
	New alloy radiator & header tank plus....
	'Kin large intercooler (All Pace Products)
	Samco hoses where necessary
	5th injector powered by an ERL MF2 fuel injector controller (hooked up to throttle angle sensor)
	Boost & air/fuel ratio meters in pod on door pillar
	BHP - 154 at the wheels or about 200 at the flywheel running at 10.2 psi (0.7 bar)

Stage 3...

	ERL Water injection using a water / methanol mix
	Custom injector insert and race pump
	Reduced mixture enrichment on MF2 unit
	Custom built adjustable water spray delivery switch
	Custom built intercooler spray
	Stainless steel exhaust by Stealth Systems, Southampton (92Db tested)
	Black Diamond uprated clutch pressure plate - race bearing - plate  (Part No: DPC 8034)
	BHP - 157.5 at the wheels or about 206 at the flywheel now running at 11 psi (0.8 bar)

Estimated top speed 140+ MPH and 0-60 in 6.1 secs (timed)

Stage 4...?

Bodywork etc: Standard panels all round Quad conversions rear light clusters M3 mirrors Custom front grille Force air feed from the lower grille to air filter Carbon effect door pillars GMC 4 into 1 Exhaust manifold

Oh, and yes, this will piss everyone off!!  My insurance was £283 pa Comprehensive, 
including protected no claims and up to £3500 worth of mods allowed.

	Company is 'Privilege Insurance' (would have been £190 without the mods)
	Recommendations?? - GMC are excellent (John is GOD!) as are ERL (Richard is a Wizard) -  Black Diamond don't realise you can put 200BHP through one of their uprated clutch's (they do now tho') and L.A.D are decidedly dodgy with their power claims as numerous people have found after forking out £1000+.

I had the car weighed properly at Wroughton on the 3rd Feb 2001 with Longacre Scales. It had 1/2 a tank of fuel and the spare wheel still in place.

Actual KG
LF	277.5	RF	312.5

Actual %
LF	30	RF	33.8
LR	19	RR	17.2
Selected	925.0	100%
TOTAL	925KG

One of the goodies I have is called a Performance Meter it measures acceleration times, braking distances, cornering forces, vehicle power etc etc. The results are displayed during and after the run on the LCD screen on the unit.

See sample graph from the software available for this unit. 

Below is a graph of my car! - 206 BHP which is virtually what the rolling road displayed.
This was only one of the runs I did before the clutch started playing up - new one on order. Did another run with a 0-60 (in 2nd) of 6.1 but wiped the data accidentally.
