That is one ultra nice build, you have confirmed what I have said all along, you don't need massive engines for these cars they are lite and quick.
Lets have a quick survey here, how many of the younger members, and I mean <40 in years have experience of driving rear wheel drive, as most cars are either front or 4 wheel drive. It's a totally different driving experience and if your to heavy with the noisy pedal in corners the rear goes around the corner before the front does. So hands up who does have experience of rear wheel drive. I will start it off :- 1 1972 Triumph Toledo 2 1977 Morris Marina 3 1980 Mk.V Ford Cortina 4 1984 Opel Manta 1.8 5 1996 Nissan Terrano 6 2008 Nissan Pathfinder Arfon |
Mk3 Granada Scorpio 2.9 auto blew the over drive up drifting at 50mph
Mk2 Sierra hatch 2ltr Pinto Mk2 Sierra 2ltr DOHC Mk1 Escort 1300 crossflow locked rear diff NASA Auto grass class2 Mk2 Sierra fitted with nissan 200sx engine claimed 320bhp with locked rear diff Nissan 300zx with locked rear diff Transit 190 fitted 2.9 cologne engine yes that goes side ways too :D Any body see a pattern here? |

My rear wheel drives were
1986 Volvo 360DL, worse car ever, dodgey in the wet 1990 Ford Sierra Saphire, pile of poo 1994 BMW 320 much nicer but not enough power to drive properly 2003 BMW 320 handles lovely still not enough power to exploit the chassis Did all my limit handling driver training in a 1990 M5 ;) |
Why didn't you just put a smaller turbo on it? Surely that would have been easier?

I've only had a couple of rwd experiences
1987 Porsche 944 54 plate transit flatbed car transporter......yes it drift round roundabouts in York area and Cardiff/Bristol :) 1992 ford sierra 1.8 (donor car....drove from Sheffield to my driveway) Russ |
I've only driven two rwd cars:
ford capri laser (aged 8 it was the car I learnt to drive in, puttering round my dads garage forecourt) ford sierra , the donor car. drove it from bedford back to Colchester and probably did a hundred miles in it before the engine came out. can't say the sierra handled differently to a fwd car but the 1.6 pinto is hardly over flowing with horses! |
