does this make me weird

[Josh_gsy]

i chased a mk1 feista last night on the way home, all i new aboout it was what i could see (lowered, nice exhaust system, wider wheels) it also had a Retro cars sticker across the rear window. anyway i lost through the corners and i was in a 1.6 volvo (i know its not the most sporty car but)...is it wierd that im glad i lost to a osf?

[hotrodholty]

nah mate, perfectly sane its when you start modifing your volvo to keep up with the osf's. thats when ye goin a bit nuts

[mart @ fpe]

i do it all the time allways lose in an old lwd tranny tho

[Josh_gsy]

the thing is tho, it means i got something that my cortina is gonna have to be able to beat! and atm as a 1300 delux standard it prob wont. although... it is powered from the right end of the car!

a 1300 with a few tweeks will go pretty well mate prob enough to keep up with a fizzy. and at least you can go sideways

Me Dads 1300 deluxe goes once you wind it up a bit. Its got a GT carb and manifold on it, K+N filter and a single back box. Handling is immense too. Drop a 1600 in and your sorted!

[beedz]

dream on, fezzas rule the corners

[Josh_gsy]

beedz... but do they go sideways by just pressing harder on the throttle?

[beedz]

nope, they just go faster round the corner , but if you want to go sideways you lift off the throttle

[mk1super]

You think thats bad? I command my other half to catch up with osf's just so i can get a look at them

[Josh_gsy]

yea but lift off oversteer just aint quite the same!

i used to do it in minis and mk3 festas oh and a rover 214.. and a metro.. rwd is the right way to go!

[beedz]

have to agree with you for the fun aspect of rwd fella

 

plus i'm still a little rusty on the left hand braking trick
