June 7, 200620 yr #141 Author there are some interesting list there! question outa your previous cars, what was your fava aprt frm ya current ride?
June 7, 200620 yr #142 My Favorite would have to have been the Charade, standard they come with a arse whipping 66kw, with the head and cam and exhaust I had in it I'dd say it would have been on the up side of 80kw from a 880kg car. Even with a 3 speed auto behind it , the initial take off was instant and would worry alot of 8's for the first 100m or so. But throwing it around corners was the best, very little understeer. An absolute great daily driver getting about 8-10litres per 100km and got 220,000km out of it before the cylinder walls started corroding and decided to upgrade to my current XR.Matt

June 15, 200620 yr #144 Well first car I bought was a project car, 1976 toyota celica. Then I bought a proton GTI, then a Honda Integra VTIR, Jeep Wrangler, and finally I came to my senses and bought a ford. This is my celica I bought as a stripped out shell and completly rebuilt which is now sold :(Ran a 2 litre Toyota 6cly 1ggte, GT30 550HP garrett turbo tuned legnth steam pipe custom manifold PWR cooler, big arse fuel system EMS management yada yada yada. Ran low 12s and yeh I think think the Ford has a lot of catching up to do.
