LOL Rhys - I had my FRST over 140+mph (indicated) on a flat private bit of road - spent the next 2 weeks nervously checking the post - just in case!
Havent had the Willie much over 100 - Had it at 110 yesterday but was going downhill - I will try it out and see how it goes on the flat.
Hmm nice & very very close - my Willie is v quick mid range then looses it a bit around 90. Tried messing about with some starts a while back and you really need to treat your clutch like you hate it to get the Willie going.
I have had quotes from somewhere else of:
Toyo 195/50/15 PXT-1S £39.95 + £3.50 per tyre for delivery
Goodyear 195/50/15 GSD3 £39.48 + £3.50 per tyre for delivery
I got :
Dear sir,
Unfortunately the Toyos are no longer available due to the severe shortage were facing for these tyres in particular. I suggest that you check our web site regularly until youll find them listed, then youll know that we got them in stock.
Thank you for your understanding.
LOL 1/4 mileing seems a good laugh but you lot take it far too seriously! If you run completly std against completely std then you have a comparason of sorts. But its still down to the driver so not really the cars.
lol the 106 is a corker but dont make such statements:
"the 106 can get round a track quicker than those other cars simple as that"
It got round that track quicker on that day. I have seen the Focus RS beat cars in one mag only to get beaten in another.
BTW I had an Evo a few years back...
Well here goes - you may find most of the cars have something in common LOL
1: Fiesta XR2 86/C (cheap run-around)
2: Fiesta XR2 89/F (great car, one owner 50k)
3: Fiesta XR2i 90/G (worst car I have owned - shocking handling)
4: Fiesta RS1800 95/M (most expensive car, £9500, too slow)...
Yup my last was mint until I took the body kit off and found a very very rusty sill:o Got it sorted tho then sold it!!!

Your car looks mint Lou - I still reckon a Cossie front bumper or one like the...
My Williams with a stopwatch is about 6 secs. Sometimes a bit under, sometimes a bit over. My speedo over-reads by 3-4mph up to 70mph. Its just under 4mph out at 30mph and the same at 70mph so I do 35-75! so its not bad for a rough guide.
Do what you want m8 as its gonna be your car. I do reckon the same engine in a Corsa is a better idea! Cheap cars with lots of power are more of a laugh than most on here would admit.
I can see the appeal - lets face it you may think you look cool in your new Clio but the bloke in the Evo...
Had a 8V XR2i with 110,000 miles on the clock - and it had been clocked so god knows what the real mileage was!! It had some rust, ran it for 6 months with no trouble at all - thrashed the ticky knackered engine everywhere. It was a hoot - cr1p handling tho - no suspension at all, I think they...
Im £395 FC with tescos. When I had my Fiesta Turbo I was only £60 extra to increase the power from 133bhp to 165bhp. In fact I was allowed to increase to 175bhp for the £60. Your age comes into to tho - I was 27.
Ive posted this before so ill post this one LAST time. My cousins first car was a VTR and his Dad had a 1.4RT - there was virtually nothing between them. The VTR would be quicker more often than the RT.
