Bought a Xsara VTS for a track car
« on: July 06, 2012, 08:23:38 pm »
Hi, I'm in Bracknell, just bought a Citroen
Xsara VTS for a track car the interior has been removed except for the front seats.

I have a fruity exhaust on it, and the air con removed.

Cant wait to get it on the track.

Hello and welcome.

Quite a few members use the VTS as a track car. Have a look through the members threads, like CarlVTS.

Secret is increase the horses (induction/exhaust), and reduce weight (some remove even the carpet's and glue sand in the footwell's).

Surely that's not going to lose much weight..... Those seats are damn heavy though.

And if you loose it, it'll probably fall off anyway.  :coolsmiley:
