[@Quiksliver]

Makes me wont to turbo my 106 quiksliver vts 16v even more!!

[@monkylondon]

If your comment gets 100 likes I think you should do it 💁

[@Quiksliver]

@@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! 🤔😝🤪

16 to go love to see that 😝

[@monkylondon]

10 to go your destiny is close

[@monkylondon]

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

[@stevob1988]

Monky! are you going to come to the Adam LZ bash in Ireland in September??

[@joem8213]

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.

[@dalejenkins1558]

no wonder you were surprised, a 20bhp increase can mean a big difference especially when comparing it on the same car!

[@dubbled5287]

ye different beast the vts. 16 valves haha

I am impressed that the rocker cover gasket is not pissing oil out 🤣👍

[@laidbackuk10]

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 👍

[@monkylondon]

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 💪

Nothing like a retro French, pocket rocket 😎 Thank you very much, a fun Monky London car review with a cool owner 👍

[@monkylondon]

Much obliged sir! John loves creme brulee for sure

[@J_S591]

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 😞

Yes John 👌🏼 had numerous 106 GTI’s, Saxo VTR/VTS’! Such awesome, fun cars

[@monkylondon]

A bygone era for sure homes!

[@WezloRust]

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

[@monkylondon]

Mad how cheap they use to be! Awesome cars

[@broadkamikaze]

Smiles per miles!! B road bashing at its finest!! God bless you John 👍😍

[@Blamejames78]

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.

[@monkylondon]

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

[@Blamejames78]

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 👊

[@ter3360]

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...

[@sky-----tv]

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.

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!

Currently in the progress of building mine. Bit of a different build than this one. All about weight saving and handling for track use. Power wise it's only got the 1.4l engine , since it's the lightest block by far. But I put a VTR head on it with stand alone ecu. Will be hitting the dyno soon to see what it can do.
