A track C2 does sound good mind
C2 all the way mate, you have already started to mod it so keep it going!
think its whats gotta be done plus the 106 is properly on the road at the end of the month :D
well thats it, use the 106 for the road for economy ecy and the C2 will be an ideal track car. Just dont break it!

thats the plan altho if the pug gets to slow ill be lookin for a E36 coupe or a vectra lol
just keep the 106 and that extra money you want to spend on a BM or something can go towards the C2?

I would say strip a paxo vts. its naturally lighter and quicker. You wont mind as much if you crash it either. I would like to keep my C2 as my day to day car.

when you say "strip it" do you mean take everything out exept the driver seat,stearing wheel and pedals? if yes, then i would rather get a saxo a strip that out, i like my cars looking nice and tidy, but thats just me...
gonna leave the dash for now but i wanna lose the back seats replace the front wi lighter bucket seats take the carpet out and fit a roll cage
I would go for the paxo and leave the C2 with its guts, paxo's are so cheap now a days so it wouldnt matter if you crashed it, or you could even buy something like this

on track you wanna be fast....which you wont be in a C2. deff go for paxo VTS anyday!
i dont know mate iv been chattin to both carworx and piper
Rossington

hmm it is tough dont get me wrong. those saxo VTS's are so much faster than any C2 though and with them being so small and light they dont half fly.
But i spose putting safety first then C2 wins as your dead if you crash in a saxo for sure.
still though power-weight ratio = saxo win :)
tough choice though but come ooonnn DONT wreck your lovely C2 mate! wreck some crappy saxo!!!
nah mate its the c2 iv made my mind up got my new gmc system for it found some bucket seat and thats this month :D
Sax VTS Jon, so much more potential that a C2.
You just cant get the gains on a C2 that you can with a Sax
**Say NO to mobile chicanes on track**
(lol im gonna get abused by all the performance boys for that comment!!)
Rossington
31-01-2007, 06:39 PM
lmao sag your ace.
come onnnn Jon you know the saxo makes sense. they are stupidly faster than any C2!
Rossington
31-01-2007, 06:43 PM
anyway i must go now.
but its ok Jon....we all forgive you....just make sure you get some pics up then ;)
i know a lad off ssc has a saxo thats got stupid power but i wanna see that i can do to the gt

if your gonna go on a track what u wanna crash?? a £1500 car or a £9000 car and dont say you wont because I reckon you will. Also the cost of spares after a day on the track you will most likely need new tyres, brakes and a few other bits. I would then want to leave that till I could afford and get in my nice C2.
Well thats my two pennies worth. Sorry if it seems like a rant not really meant to be :D
my car is worth fuck all mate and iv decided i dont want another saxo if a 106 gti was cheap enuff id buy 1 of those but hey ho the GT is starting to get stripped this month :D
plus im assistant manager at a car spares place so its all good for spares they cost me fuck all
