Use the Search option at the top of the page and you will find tonnes of Willie info.
My desicion was based on 2 things -
1: I wanted the newest possible Willie - that would be a Willie 3 - but Clios with sunroofs sometimes have leakage probs and more worringly (if youve spent a lot of...
My worst one was when I borrowed a company car and you need to push a button to open the fuel cap - I spent 10 mins in a forcourt trying to pull the thing - then a member of staff came out and showed me the button - DOH!:oops:
I have never been in any other "chipped" Fiesta so mine may have been a bit special - It was certainly quicker than Me or any of my mates expected. It used to happily beat my mates Saffire Cossie 4x4 but then he got a Impreza Sti import (270 odd bhp one) which stuffed me.
There are loads of...
Oh and ive missed out my cousins westfield as I cant remember its time . I think his new 300bhp RX7 may take the Winning time off the Fiesta/Scoob when he gets it in a couple of weeks unless I can sabotage it - He He.
Mine was 14psi but you need them set up especially for running anymore than the Standard (7psi) or you cause damage. I think the Fuelling and Timing are different. Mine at 7psi was slow at 14psi was (once on the move) around the same speed as my cousins W reg Scoob Turbo (RRd 218bhp). I have a...
The MP40 Sony Ive got looks better in my car than in the pics - the Blue center is very blue and matches my Williams dials perfectly. To be honest apart from some of the very expensive stereos they all look like 1980s tape decks - Pioneer especailly although the more expensive one look great.The...
Try <A target=_blank href= "http://www.mcs-direct.co.ukwww.mcs-direct.co.uk , they are around the cheapest I found on my searches. I got my Sony MP40 { http://www.mcs-direct.co.uk/acatalog/MCS_DIRECT_MP3_100.htmlhttp://www.mcs-direct.co.uk/acatalog/MCS_DIRECT_MP3_100.html } £125 + £10 carrage...
LOL - I got wasted a few times by a MK1 Fiesta in my last car - I still dont know what engine was in it - It wouldnt have been so bad but it was a Brown one with loads of rust!! It seemed faster than any car ive been in.
The RS2000 is completely different to s Cossie, as RobFenn say it shares some Sierra history. I think the Running gear is a shortened version of the Cossie sierra 4 X 4. The Cossies were longer than normal escorts but shorter than a Sierra and hand built in Germany.
The last RS2000 was the best handling Escort (not including cossie) by a mile. The std version was dodgy but the RS was very good, ive driven one and it handled great but was too slow. You should still have been a bit faster although ive never been in a Valver:confused:The RS costs a fortune to...
The Old 8v Gti is very slow the 16v is the quick one. Round about M-N reg. I think the 8v is about VTR (10secs to 60) speed and the 16v is about 8 secs to 60.
QUOTE "And fuel economy is pretty bad, I put £20 of Optimax in yesterday and used £10 worth in 48 miles. "
LOL - I have to admit to being shocked with my Williams, my first tank of Town driving and I got 28mpg!! And thats not taking it easy all the time.
If parkers give 24.7 for MPG then its gonna be low;) Like Clios before I came on this site I know nothing about Nissans but those stats are impressive - whats its handling like compare to the VTS?
I would defo put the cars we drive (16vs / 172s) more in the Boy Racer catagory than the Nissan. In fact I dont think ive ever seen one of those - what are the stats?
Market Values decide on the value not how good it is - as Tom says!. Escort Cossies were still 20-20k 3-4years after launch. When they were discontiniued they went up some £30k+ for some cars that were 5 years old. The RS Scene is completely different tho. Less people in this country want a...
I have this problem although its not in 1st - I dont boot it in 1st thats why. My Tyres are old which is why it happens to me - P600s I found were not very good on my last car. I went from them to Yokohamas and the difference was tremendous.
