Not always true

Disagree there Vista..its more satisfying whooping larger engined car in a nicely put together xflow.....the only reason i'd buy a pinto is to anchor my boat ..there are some wicked xflows out the ...fancy giving Fiesta Steve a race then Vista??

[fezza]

Got to agree with the two posts above,extra capacity doesnt mean its faster,i embaressed many a pinto on twin webers when i had my xflow and that was in a fiesta dont matter what you start with,its how you build what you've got

[Vista]

You'd need a mighty powerful X-flow to embarress mine, and a Fester isn't that much lighter than a mk1 Escort

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

pintos are heavy ive too tried lifting one couldnt believe the weight

[fezza]

Deffo some sorted pintos out there but bigger is'nt always better

[mk2 matt]

One of dads mates has mk2 hill climb car with a 190bhp xflow.

It,s not very often he gets beat, specially by a pinto that weighs twice as much

[Fiesta Steve]

There was a track day somewhere recently, can't remember where.

 

There was a black Fiesta leaving lots of Pinto powered cars for dust, some of them big power cars on 48's etc..

 

[fezza]

Oh really Steve,wonder who it was?any ideas

[Guest MK1gaz]

I think a x-flow is only 10 kilos lighter than a pinto so don't get too exited

[Fiesta Steve]

I've heard that too, and as Vista says the Fiesta isn't much lighter than an Escort.

[Guest MK1gaz]

Has anyone got a x-flow handy to weigh then ? I can weigh a pinto saturday morning for you as there's one on the floor of my mates workshop

[Fiesta Steve]

I have a crossflow close to hand too.

 

It has no ancillaires (sp) but has a flywheel.

 

Won't be able to weigh it until Sunday though.

 

It would be nice to find out once and for all, and not just what people have heard.
