End Of A Very Short Era!

[ifraz]

I can tell you its ugly!!! It looks likea a tired old car! Do you play duran duran? pet shop boys? paul young? Frankie goes to hollywood.?... Its from a different time mate! ITS OLD! Get with the times!!! (its 1980's ) Its a has been! Do you think anyone looks at you in it and thinks look at him? They think look at that :tsktsk: !! Sorry but they do!

I think gazza says it all nicely. B)

It's a 'has been' motor...

[Scorpion]

I've hung it up in kitchen now

I've gotta defend him

Must admit i threw that one in.....alright i'll stop now

He still wants to know how OLD Ifraz is though

[Steve]

He said your only jealous coz you cant afford to run one Ifraz :P

and what has Toyota ever won in Motorsport,even the celicas got thrown out of WRC for cheating.

He asked how old you were? 40/45 coz only old men drive Lexus's

if they got thrown out for cheating then why is it the cars fault?

Ok i will get some digging going on in the world of motorsport!

[Scorpion]

I think it was for turbo irregularities(dont quote me on it though),it was a while back

hey.. petshop boys were good :winky:

Yeah, the Pet shop boys were good....and I'm sure this cossie was good too (in the 80's)

:shutit: :shutit:

[Steve]

but you dont get my point pete... was these irregularities due to human cheating or a blip in the design? if it was a blip then it cannot be called cheating.

Your going down that road that ford or any other make is better than Toyota... motorsport is all about teamwork and how they develop the car and strategy.. (prolly alot more too) if these plans are not all 100% then there is really no chance of that team winning.

You would spot scoobies at the end of a rally with less points compared to other scoobs of exactly the same spec... same goes for F1

Perhaps Toyota do not have that 100% teamwork and strategy

anyway good luck bison and i hope all goes well

Darrones only playing with ya,if you break him in half hes got FORD through him like a stick of rock

Dont you guys think i've tried to change his mind?with all the RS's hes owned and the money hes spent on them he could have bought a fleet of Lexus's,but he does'nt like modern day cars.By owning RS's he knows you have to spend money on them to keep them alive...hes a car enthusiast and he loves the RS............ AND YOU'LL NEVER CHANGE HIS MIND!!

[mudzs]

Just out of curiosity what do's he think of the sapphire cossy .

Bring him along to a meet Pete. We'll show him all the modded IS's including Maz's rage motor. That'll tempt him B)

I do repsect all car enthusiasts...it's a great passion to have. :)

[Steve]

no way mate.. I would not want him to change his mind... that where he gets his Jollys from.. good stuff... I myself would love a 50's american classic.. purely because i love these old type classics!

I myself was merely trying to get some facts straight.. even if i was halfway there!

[Scorpion]

I dont think anybody has had more success in motorsport through every series than ford.

(this will get you all going)

Get on www. fellas :P

[Steve]

I agree pete... MarkI & II escorts prolly made the history i bet! I myself used to rally my own MarkII years ago where the RAC rally use the same forest... excellent for it.

but i remember as a kid it used to be all Fords mainly... never used to see many jap cars... I guess the scooby kicked some *****

[Scorpion]

He does'nt like the sapphires....

The amount of money you have to spend on an IS to get equivalent gains(350bhp)

is just silly money.

He has been to some meets,you just have'nt noticed him

I should throw away all those early 80's TOCA videos(i blame myself)

[Steve]

what size engine is his motor at the mo pete?

[Scorpion]

Steve just becoz 2 identical cars run in the same series it does'nt mean they share the same parts,the better parts will always go to the leading driver.....ask Barrichello!!!

[Steve]

you have answered my question oh wise one... glad to see it was read properly

team work always wins! that includes development and constructors strategy

[mudzs]

Yes!!! i knew he would'ent like em .

[Steve]

i do prefer the early cossie to the saphire!

[Scorpion]

Its a stage 3 which pushes out 350bhp and yes its reliable,others overtune them thats why they go bang.

Hes got all the right bits on it and it is quick...very quick for a 2litre Turbo with a T3/4(hybrid) 22psi

I will bring it to a meet at some stage as it is one of the cleanest i've seen,apart from a concourse one of course.......lots of fun

I've given up trying to change his mind.

Only*** knows how mats gonna cope with all that power

[mudzs]

I would not try to that car will not devalue, in fact it will go up in value probaly a better investment than a bank

[Steve]

not bad for a 2 litre...

as we have gone this far down the road how about a full spec of this motor then? and what it can do... sounds impressive performance wise.

hey.. petshop boys were good :winky:

Gonna regret this but.... got the new pet shop boys cd in the car

[Scorpion]

I'll get him to list the spec 2morrow.Doubt wether he'll give to much away though coz it'll show me how much hes spent on it

Gazza,why does'nt that surprise me
