🐒 TURBO HOT HATCH FOR UNDER 5K! BOOSTED CITROEN SAXO VTR REVIEW
The Citroën Saxo was a supermini produced by the French manufacturer Citroën from 1996 to 2004. It was sold in Japan as the Citroën Chanson, because Honda had registered the "Saxo" name.[1] As a badge engineered variant of the Peugeot 106 (which itself was a development of the Citroën AX), the major difference being interiors and body panels. Production ended in 2004, when it was replaced with the Citroën C2 and Citroën C3.
All engines were from the PSA TU engine series that powered the Peugeot 205 from 1988 and the Citroën AX, and had their roots before that with the OHC PSA X engine various other PSA cars used, such as the Citroën Visa, Peugeot 104 and early Peugeot 205. The range included five petrol engines and one diesel engine, all naturally aspirated.
Although the quoted power outputs are low in comparison to modern small hatchbacks, or even to other hatchbacks of the time, the kerb weight was generally very low, with even the range-topping VTS having a kerb weight of just 935 kg (2,061 lb), with other smaller engine models (except the diesel) being around 100 kg lighter than this
There were three sport models of the Saxo:
The Westcoast, later replaced by the Furio which featured a 1.4I 8V 55 kW (75PS/75BHP) engine with a top speed of 175 km/h (109 mph), and a 0-62.5 mph (0-100 km/h) time of 11.2 seconds.
The VTR MK1 (1997-1999) featured a 1.6I 8V 66 kW (90PS/89BHP) engine with a top speed of 187 km/h (116 mph) and a 0-62.5 mph (0-100 km/h) time of 10.0 seconds. The VTR MK2 (1999-2003) featured a 1.6I 8V 72 kW (98PS/97BHP) engine with a top speed of 193 km/h (120 mph) and a 0-62.5 mph (0-100 km/h) time of 9.4 seconds.
The VTS 16V featured a 1.6I 88 kW (120PS/118BHP) engine with a top speed of 205 km/h (127 mph), and a 0 to 60 mph time of 7.8 seconds. The VTS MK1 (1997-1999) and MK2 (1999-2003) shared similar performance, although the MK2 was slightly slower due to it being marginally heavier.
These models included 247 mm (9.7 in) vented front brake discs, with the VTR and VTS also having rear brake discs (solid 247 mm (9.7 in) discs). Also, a different style of control arms and struts was used for the suspension. The VTS had a 22 mm (0.9 in) master brake cylinder, and the VTR and Westcoast/Furio had a 19 mm (0.7 in).
The VTS had a 19 mm (0.7 in) front anti roll bar and 22 mm (0.9 in) rear anti roll bar, while the VTR and Westcoast/Furio had a 19 mm (0.7 in) front and 21 mm (0.8 in) or sometimes 19 mm (0.7 in) rear antiroll bar. In addition, all the sports models featured a unique bodykit to the other models, commonly known as the "VT" bodykit.
1998 Citroën Saxo VTS
Citroën carried on using the 1.4i engine on the facelift Saxo Automatic in 1999. Due to the C3 having a 1.4i automatic gearbox, the Saxo Automatic came to an end in March 2002, whilst the manual models were still sold right up to the end of 2003.
Although MK2 Saxos were generally better equipped than their older counterparts, the interiors were still dated in comparison to other small hatchbacks of the time, such as the Vauxhall Corsa, with many of the center console controls originating from the older model of the Citroën AX.
The 1.6L VTR and VTS Saxos were the best equipped, with both gaining rear disc brakes as opposed to drum brakes, and ABS as standard for the VTS and an optional extra on all other 1.6-liter models.
By 2003, some buyers were more attracted to the spacious, and practical five-door C3. However, the 1.6 VTR and VTS models remained popular. The Saxo finally finished production in September 2003, when the three-door C2 was launched. Its twin, the Peugeot 106, also ceased production at this time. By the end of the Saxo's production life, its design was seven years old. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Makes me wont to turbo my 106 quiksliver vts 16v even more!!
If your comment gets 100 likes I think you should do it 💁
@@monkylondon cheers for the support bud!! if does reaches 100 likes will definitely install a turbo & all the other components to make it rip! Car seems pretty quick now, b4 turbo build-time! 🤔😝🤪
60 to go 😉
26 to go, shotgun review 😂
16 to go love to see that 😝
Yes my lovelies what are you all saying! Fine baguette goodness for you here, very competent all rounder for not much skrilla! Turbo powers, 5 star chassis with lift off oversteer, sorted brakes, and a naughty LSD putting all the onions to the ground, pukka! And all for less than the price of a creme brulee, result! Would love to hear what you all think of this little ripper, shout below yo! Peace ML
Monky! are you going to come to the Adam LZ bash in Ireland in September??
I've had three saxo's, quicksilver 1.4i, vtr and the vts. The difference from the vtr to vts was surprising, only 20 bhp more but it felt alot faster. Best times I've ever had in a car was in the saxo's, great little cars.
no wonder you were surprised, a 20bhp increase can mean a big difference especially when comparing it on the same car!
ye different beast the vts. 16 valves haha
@@dalejenkins1558 absolutely
I am impressed that the rocker cover gasket is not pissing oil out 🤣👍
The way you just Chuck that thing around corners 😂honestly good driver bro 😂👌
The next mod better be a decent rollcage! Absolute flying machine that!
The little handwritten 'FAST' on the speedo id my favorite part of this build
Used to have a vtr in the same colour 👌 only had an induction kit 3” hoffman straight pipe n a 4-1 manifold on her but was definitely one of the most fun cars I’ve owned proper little back road weapon n was really cheap on fuel , loved the video man 👍
Thanks much appreciated, cool colour as well. Deffo on the back roads proper light and nimble. I never had one but back in the day but did have a 106, love a French wip 💪
Very nice, I've fond memories of the Saxo as i had one of the 1st VTR's in the UK back in Jan 97 in Poseidon Blue, i felt the dogs after having an AX GT previously.
Absolutely loved this video! Love a good al' Saxo ;) Keep these videos coming!
I had a 106 MK1 XSi 8v, same engine as the VTR. Loved it, full Group N rally chassis mods, Supersprint straight-through and Piper rear box. Natural pops and the odd flame used to make me so happy as a lad 😂. I don’t live too far from you I don’t think…twice someone stole my back box in Horley…maybe it’s on this car lol. It sadly start giving a lot of problems…driveshafts were a consumable and the weird keypad immobiliser was possessed. Some girl bought it and took it to Cornwall, where I believe it died finally 😞
Smiles per miles!! B road bashing at its finest!! God bless you John 👍😍
Love these sorts of builds ,fast and affordable.
Had a phase one facelift vts loved that motor just fun to drive and always put a smile on my face
Thanks god !!!! Finally a real review of a Saxo Turbo! in france we don't got this, so i'm really happy to see this! Thanks man
Loved my vtr. Same colour as this one. Great fun
Loving it Mr Monky. Cool car.👍😎 Always regret selling my phase 2 VTS. Only car I have ever bought new, never actually modified it, just ragged it everywhere.👍👍👍
I had a slammed 106 gti in China blue. Fecking loved it! My mate got a white phase 2 rallye with a fully polished/forged gti turbo lump, all we needed to do was sort the shell and he'd have a rapid car... it may appear one rainy day...
Great video as always , that little Saxo is wicked takes me cackle a few decades 😂😂💪gonna have to buy a monkey London hoodie 😂👍💯
A return lately to what I always loved on your channel. The reviews of mental modified cars 🤝
Thank you man, this is how it will continue 💪
@@monkylondon would offer my car forward for the John test, but you’d have to speed up the footage to make it look exciting 😅
Looks superb the saxo is a great looking car works well with the turbo setup and handles really nicely well set up car and suspension .
I had a black vtr (FP02 MGY) with a viper induction kit, map and cat back! Was around 120BHP. Awsum car only sold her for an upgrade to a clio 182. I can't imagine 230bhp tho, crazy man! Cool video 👍
The lift of oversteer on these Saxos was nuts
Nothing like a retro French, pocket rocket 😎 Thank you very much, a fun Monky London car review with a cool owner 👍
Much obliged sir! John loves creme brulee for sure
bro this brings back gt2 ps1 vibes the saxo is a beast when tuned right .
Always love ❤️ the jungle/drum and bass/speed garage old school beats on the background….. from the last ov the Welsh valley jungliests ❤
Bought one of the last new VTR's in the UK the car got me.into so much trouble 🤣🤣🤣 Hilarious machine you couldn't help but hammer it 👊
Loved my vts. It was lowered, mapped, exhaust and strut brace. Little go kart.
hopefully picking up a saxo this weekend, this is getting me excited
I literally moan at Curtis about once a week to get a cage 🤣
Curtis get a cage
@@monkylondon Curtis get a cage is now a movement 🤣
used to buy VTR's cheap as chips, 2-400£ 10 years ago and flip them for about 6-800, I was passenger in one going down hill (mate driving) and I remember that day because that's when i realised they're nippy for what they are
Mad how cheap they use to be! Awesome cars
First time coming across this channel absolute nuts😂 deffo subscribing
Welcome to the mad house 🤝
Sick my man
Have to change my sodding rocker gasket right this minute! Last thing i wanted to do first thing, this will certainly be a good watch while doing so :D
Had a quicksilver and a vts if I could of doubled the power man would I have been happy awesome chassis great to see this creation top notch 🙌
the moment when hes holding the camera his face says it all ! cool wee buggy tho!
Great video keep making sick videos bro
That little car is wild!!!! Seems to be a awesome drive definitely a hand full since it’s so light!!!!
Yeah 100%, just gotta counteract the lift off and you're gravy
Big up Curtis 😮💨
My vtr was my all time favourite car, only had it lowered and bike throttle body but man was that thing nimble. You could through it round corners like it was on rails so much fun I've never had a car handle as well since tbf everything is just so heavy these days.
Need more videos like this.
Loved my vts back in the day
Sick build the saxo’s and 106 gti’s are epic cars 🤘💨
Always wanted a vtr when I was a nipper, only got me a fiesta zetec in the end, all 1.25 goodness there 🤣.
Safe ro say this this is amazing, never thought of a turbod one before!
Had a saxo VTR a month ago absolute crack on the rod 👍🏻😝
Had a vts when I was younger loved it
Yes John 👌🏼 had numerous 106 GTI’s, Saxo VTR/VTS’! Such awesome, fun cars
A bygone era for sure homes!
Love the budget builds!
More inbound sir 🤝
had an 03 VTS in red at 19, paid more on insurance than what the car was worth 😂 felt like i was king of the road in a 16v
I’m a french baguette owner myself, megane r26 with 300 french ponies and stripped out. Such fun cars, cheers for the video Toby 🔥 as always
mmh i'm close
r19 chamade with 80hp 😎😎😆
Perfect tune selection. Absolutely sent that 🤣
Nice one Scott guranteed bangers everytime 💪
My mate leant me his VTS when my nova GTE gear box went. And it was standard apart from pipercross air in duct-ion kit.
And he put Peugeot 205 1.9gti wheels on. If you hit a corner hard under steer would start, let off the back end would step out. Then just control the drift.
Definitely even standard they handle very well.
Good bike this. Takes me back to days of Revs, max power, fast car.
Yeah 100% on handling you can kinda play with them. GTE is a cool retro car too need to get one on never driven one. Thanks for watching James
@@monkylondon your channel is definitely going places. Very good content. And entertaining.
Absolute mad lad willing to boost one of those death traps! 🤣👍
Used to love my saxo vtr in white fully poled and everything apart from a remap miss it
Wow brings back memories these can be rapid 😉
No cage as well.... love it 😂😂
My mrs has a saxo VTR the same coulour and ive got an ax with the same engine turbod running similar power to this. both such fun cars to drive 👌
Let's get the AX on the channel 👀
@@monkylondon im sure we could sort somthing out 😏
@@ThePkca123 get in 💪💪💪 John doesn't have to drive 😂 Pop on website bro and click feature my car when you get 5 www.monkylondon.com
Love this little rocket 🚀 I race Saxo’s in the hot 1600s and I love throwing it around it keeps me in my youth 😂
100%, makes you feel 17 everyday 😂
Made me miss my vtr’s and the one vts I had the thing that amazed me most tho Is that the rear windows didn’t close mine used to if I would go above 5mph
I had a VTS for my first car...was epic .
The car is next level" YEA THAT was next LEVEL haha awesome 🚀
love to see LZ drive this car
Reminds me of the Subway advert
“Too hot? Too spicy? Hot hot!”
As a kid, I saw VTRs/VTS' and 106s everywhere, but I don't even see them around my area anymore. Always wanted a 106 Quicksilver when I was younger 🤣Might need to scratch that itch.
Brought a quiksilver few years back then got a donnor saxo for vts engine, lowered 50mm all round 306 wheels 306gti6 brakes disk rear beam straight through exhaust, race manifold, total cost £1000 quid next stage is to fit a turbo etc! Should get one!
Yeah same I could never afford insurance John had too many points #numpty. How much are Quicksilvers these days
@@monkylondon looking over 1000quid these days for a quiksliver the 106gti fetching over 5k
Most of them have been scrapped that's why.
Proper little weapon..... Jon treating the lanes like a Time attack......
Closed course do not attempt
my first car is a VTR, hoping to supercharge it by the end of the year!
Great little motor, must get my 106 down to you to have a go in! Now it’s done 😈
Loved my vtr such a fun car always wanted a vts
Yeah even in VTR form ripped for the day
My boi curt podge
When I was a kid my uncle used to have a blue one with a PlayStation and TV inside Under massive speaker system
Yes! Big monk…! Absolute Weapon!
My god I miss my old Saxo haha such a little toy !
Amazing car! I had both! 8v 16 v.
Amazing car's out box!.. but can't help thinking 🤔 the standard vts
Wheels would suit, .this car better!?
had a 106 gti and used to push scoobies out the way for fun.. miss that weapon of a car.
Had. 1.1 for my first car 1.4 quick silver for my second, a GTi 106 later on down the line but never a saxo still want one these days
I had a 320hp turbo engine in my 106 rallye, way too much power , undrivable.
A baby one like this is much better !
Nice bit of fun that looks. Shame Citroën and Peugeots have always had bad electric gremlins for me.
No electrics on these ones though really
That was fuckin lit . Looked like fuck sake John was on the full send 😆
I'll have words with him
I used to own a silver vtr about 7-8 years ago, i paid £650 for it with only 64k on the clock 👌 then swapped it for a mk3 golf gti and what a mistake that was, i should have kept the little baguette machine.
Quality 👌👌👌
Go on curtisssssss
Love this build! has me thinking Boosting the Rfiddy3 seems like the way to go .
Deffo, what engine do you have?
@@monkylondon just the boggo 1.6 tritech W11 with a 15% pulley man. Still gives me a nawwwty whine but nothing like this monster. In a ideal world I'd compound charge mine and run both supercharger and turbo because why not 🤣
Got a saxo vtr as my first car, would love to have a boosted saxo in the future
Relive it! Deffo worth keeping an eye out for a nice one
9:20 I know that Sony has IBIS but there ain't no smoothing that footage out 😂
😂😂😂
Both me and several of my mates have flipped saxo's...... Scary little cars to be in a crash in haha
What a fucking missile 😂😂 love it!
This man better has some video documentation, i have a Citroën BX with the same engine swapped in. Good god i want, no need this in my BX. 220 hp is mayby a bit much, but if i aim for 175ish then it should be quite dailble
Wicked car . Had a 2 tone vtr & resulted to a 15 month driving ban I still would have another one but do need better brakes
What happened? Fast little things ay! My 106 Rallye did bad things to John too #youths
@@monkylondon definitely fun pocket rockets . So it was hot summers day about 4 years ago after long day at work went pub for a meal . Football was on 1 pint turns into a few .then decided I was going home and thought it be a good idea to drift a square roundabout (never a good idea ) I got it to drift haha was so snappy couldn't catch it that many times 😅ended up binning it into center barriers so left the car went home . Then knock knock knock hello Mr police man 👮♂️
Stil have my mk2 red vts since new 2002 great fun to drive stil😊😊
8v four pots sounds so mean!, it's a sound you just don't hear anymore
It doesn't always show how fast a car is but I think we got the gist of this thing. But fk me jon can drive I can chuck a car round learnt back in the day 90s chases for fun no to say it's good we grow up a more things matter. Them saxo are in the up I tryed looking to get one garage it fir awhile as there's not many hot hatches original ones now they all git to many safety stuff but Yeh think I missed that boat now like the zr 's mete valve so on so on.great vid tho well done to the owner 💪👍👊
Damn. I ran yellow stuff on a 1.0l Saxo and it didn’t stop fast enough for me. I hope he’s managed to set it up better than I did!!
huh, that's weird. Maybe you had air in the lines?
With crappy tires my saxo will literally lock up on all 4 at the same time if I stomp the brakes hard enough
Had 5 saxos in the past fucking loved every one of them
Man of fine taste
Weapon will surprise a lot of big power machines 👌💯
Little flyer!
John is a savage 🤣
What was the top speed in this video? Love a Saxo
That looks like a lot of fun and sounds fantastic!
What camera mounts have you got? I need some
They are Fat Gheko mounts bud
@@monkylondon cheers, I’ll get some ordered
I learnt to drive in a 1.5 d saxo ! No turbo though
Had a gold forte for my first car crashed it 3 times before the 3rd one killed it and sent it to heaven, cheese boxed the air box sounded the bollocks 😂😂😂😂
