RWL81P Posted November 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 well ive got a race pinto, 48s and a quaife box, if i wanted a sensible car i'd buy summat modern. could put a carpet and a zetec in the cortina, but then ya may aswell push it in a pond if your gonna do that to it.

puddy Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 I don't have a problem with race cars on the road , but in my opinion it was over engineerd in some areas and under in others. Puddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
