I want a RWD Turbo car. Options?

Don't want to add fuel the the flames, but we we're given a brand spanking MGTF 160R in work as a demo for a fourtnight a few years back, and fair enough we ragged the bottom off it. but we gave it back with a bag full of trim that fell off the interior, about the only thing that still worked was the wireless and the (mk2 golf) window switchs.

 

Gutted - another dream dashed. I thought the rotor tips we're only a problem on the earlier cars. [:^(] [:^(] [:^(]

 

Predictable reply ACF, but a cracking pic!! Who took that?

 

Wireless? How old are you?

he did whilst his ex drove the car.

i've never actually been in an mr2 turbo....i won't allow myself as if i feel that power i may wanna sell my n/a and get one, and it'll cost me too much!

 

Northern Ireland? RWD? By law don't you have to get one of these and fit a
turbo?

 

Ive had two mate and your right dont go in one if you dont want to sell your car, performance wise there is no comparison to a Na and a Turbo. Even the Rev2 is a really quick car but all the power drops off after 5k where as the Rev3's scream all the way to the red line.

 

i dont agree with that at all, the modified k-series make the mgf feellike a different car!! i agree, the standard mgf is dull and poo i certainly would not have one.
but having had a heavily modded 190bhp mgf and a lightly modded elise, id go with the mgf for fun factor and built quality

It's gotta be retro mate, don't you ever put on your Daps, Turn on the Wireless or...... And I've run out of examples.

 

Wasnt the Starion a RWD Turbo?? or maybe a GTO twin Turbo!! Why rear wheel drive Turbo?

Just for that side ways bottom out action???

 

gto and starion are both 4wd are they not?

 

what about a sierra saphire cossie not the most beautiful,but easy to tune, fairly cheap and cheerful and rwd

Id go with a Cosworth I think....

Ive got a bad dose of Cosworthitis at the moment and its even worse as My house is going up for sale to give me a few s

Ahhhh!!! The good old cosworths! Plus there's plenty of well modified (i.e. done properly not just tacky dump valves and K&N's) for cheap money!

Most midly tuned have around 260hp+ which are still rapid!

Mmmm....

gonna say, i think i was about to say i wanted to meet your mate

 

Don't buy a 3k shed, you'll regret it.

Don't buy one that's been highly modified, you'll regret it.

Do put by a lot of money for when ( not if ) it blows up

 

Don't want no modified muck... looking at spending 5k tops and want a standard one aswell.Seen mates have nasty endings with modified ones

Thing is the Cosworthitis usually passes when I see sense

 

Mate bought a white 2wd Saphirre Cos for about 4.5k recently, was unmodified bar exhaust, RS500 i/c and stage 1 chip, really good shell on it, mint underneath, I was suprised when we put it up on the ramp

Hasn't stopped him fitting Gaz coil overs, 3" (from down pipe)Scorpion, 330bhp conversion (greens/3bar map sensor,T34 hybrid turbo etc etc) and a set of Compo MOs Goes like hot snot.

 

I think I'd end up modding it sensibly but dont want somebody elses ruff jobs. I need to know everythings done right.
One of my mate buys and sells Cossies and Turbos and hes running round in a 2wheeler with 280bhp nice car and its for sale...wont tell me a price..wants an offer.. but its been shunted back and front twice so no way am i interested.
